Mandates

What are Mandates?

Mandates are containers for storing information needed to perform transactions which do NOT require consumer interaction. Mandates can be used for SEPA and for creditcards.

There are two types of Mandates:

• Transaction-based: A Mandate is created by performing an /createPayment which contains a Recurrence element. This is described in One-time or periodically recurring payment .

• Transactionless: A Mandate is created without reference to an ‘original transaction’.
