titleNEW V2.12
A new way of processing direct debit payments for the SEPA area is now available. Direct debit payments have been available for a few years based on the services provided by our Slimpay partner. You can now use a new in-house process to handle direct debit, allowing you to process direct debits on the basis of standardized bank files that you can import/export from SecuTix.

titleUPCOMINGNEW V3.9
 The already existing function Season ticket renewal of the batch of subscription has been extended to allow the usage of the new payment method. The behaviour is similar to the renewal of a membership (see section above). The only difference, not related to this new payment method, is the processing of the automatic renewal flag at season ticket level. As a reminder:

...

  • The payment file is generated by the function Direct debit bank file generation of the batch of type Instalment management (see getting started section below for more information on how to set-up the batch).
  • The file is available on the specified FTP server (URL defined at batch level)
  • If no FTP server has been specified or the file couldn't be stored on the FTP server, the file can be downloaded by clicking on the link displayed in the execution log.

Import the payment status file from the bank

  • The function Confirm debit bank file of the batch of type Instalment management allows to import the payment status file either automatically from a FTP server or by uploading it manually (see getting started section below for more information on how to set-up the batch).

Direct debits and refunds

Once an installment has been sent to the bank, any subsequent order cancellation (entire order or a part of it) cannot cancel the concerned installment. More generally, in case of partial order cancellation, SecuTix will cancel the installments not sent yet to the bank and with the most distant deadline.

Storage of end customer's consent

If you don't manage mandates signed by your end customers (either manually or through Slimpay), the end user just has to click on a check box in order to accept direct debit. You can view the history of customer's consent in the new screen Audit contact available from the contact detail screen.

This screen also shows marketing and communication consents provided by the end customer.

  • The file is available on the specified FTP server (URL defined at batch level)
  • If no FTP server has been specified or the file couldn't be stored on the FTP server, the file can be downloaded by clicking on the link displayed in the execution log (in archive mode).

Import the payment status file from the bank

  • The function Confirm debit bank file of the batch of type Instalment management allows to import the payment status file either automatically from a FTP server or by uploading it manually (see getting started section below for more information on how to set-up the batch).

Manual management of the installments

Display and manage the state of the installments

As for all SecuTix payment methods based on installments (methods of type pending account with follow-up), the operator may view the installments in the installments menu of the sales context. The installments screen has been extended to allow some manual operations on the installments. More precisely:

  • A state column has been added to the list to provide you the state of the installment:
    • Open: the installment has been created during the closure of the order but hasn't been sent yet to the bank
    • Sent to bank: the installments has been sent to the bank but the bank hasn't sent the status of this payment yet (and the operator hasn't set manually the state to Fail or Paid)
    • Fail: the installment has been marked manually as failed (the bank provides only the list of successful payments)
    • Paid: the installment has been paid (either the bank has sent this information or an operator has marked the installment manually)
  • A new filter allows to show only the installments that have already been sent to the bank
  • The operator may select multiple installments already sent to the bank and confirm or cancel them. More precisely:
    • Confirming an installment means confirming that it has been paid. This feature is mainly used when no payment status file is imported from the bank. You can only confirm Open installments.
    • Cancelling an installment means that the payment of the installment has failed or must not be performed. You could use this option in following cases:
      • You have sent the installment to the bank a long time ago (without receiving any payment confirmation) and you don't expect a successful payment anymore
      • You have generated the file but haven't sent it yet to the bank because the end customer wants to use another payment method. The cancel button will then cancel the fact that you have generated the file and let your customer select another payment method.
      • You have sent the installment to the bank who has confirmed its payment but, a few days later, the end customer has complained to the bank that had to revert the payment.
      • As a result, you can cancel Sent and Paid installments. In the case of Paid installments, you can only cancel the last or most recent installment of a given order.

Track the installments

During the generation of the direct debit bank file, the name of the file generated is stored in the identifier field of the generated payments. As a result, you can:

  • Search for all the payments included in a given bank file
  • Display in which bank file a given payment has been generated (for example: a given file hasn't been balanced for a long time and you want to check if something went wrong in the direct debit process)

Direct debits and refunds

In case of partial order cancellation, SecuTix will cancel the installments not sent yet to the bank and with the most distant deadline. If an order has to be cancelled entirely or if the amount to be refunded exceeds the amount of the installments that haven't been sent to the bank yet, you first have to cancel the installments sent to the bank but not paid yet (see section Manual management of the installments).

Storage of end customer's consent

If you don't manage mandates signed by your end customers (either manually or through Slimpay), the end user just has to click on a check box in order to accept direct debit. You can view the history of customer's consent in the new screen Audit contact available from the contact detail screen.

This screen also shows marketing and communication consents provided by the end customer.

Payment information to end user

SecuTix will generate a payment purpose automatically according to the following rules:

  • The payment purpose is based on the first product of the order related to the installment (that hasn't been refunded in the meantime)
  • If the product is a competition , the payment purpose will contain the competition name, the opponent team and the match date-time
  • If the product is an event, the payment purpose will contain the event name and the performance date-time
  • For any other product (including composed products), the payment purpose will contain the product name
  • Note that the payment purpose will be truncated if it exceeds the maximum length of 140 characters allowed by the SEPA standard. In that case, the competition name and event name will be removed first.

Info
titleManagement of BIC codes

By default, the internet users or operators have to enter the BIC code of the end customer's bank account. You can request a SecuTix service to make the BIC optional for a list of countries. For example, you can decide that end customer residing in the same country as your institution don't have to enter the BIC code but still require the BIC for end customers living abroad.

The service team will store the codes of the countries with optional BIC in the institution parameter Sepa optional BIC.
