Batch payments

Batch payments are a semi-automated SEPA Direct Debit (SDD).

Unlike a SEPA direct debit handled through a payment gateway (GoCardless, Slimpay, Stripe, Adyen and the like), this method requires manual actions from you on a regular basis.

The Batch payments method consists in filing a SEPA XML file with your bank, containing all the direct debit orders. Each debit order corresponds to one customer invoice.

The method leaves you with three kinds of action to handle:

  1. Record in ProAbono the details of your customers’ new SEPA mandates.
  2. Send your bank, manually and every month, the SEPA XML file generated by ProAbono that holds all the direct debit orders.
  3. Send ProAbono, manually and very regularly, the rejection files generated by your bank.
