Collecting guest invoices via SEPA mandate
With a SEPA mandate, it is possible to collect deposits or other amounts due from your guests. The booker gives their consent via a SEPA mandate form. You'll also need the booker's IBAN account number.
Activating SEPA mandate
Per administration, you must indicate in the administration settings that the use of SEPA mandates to collect money is permitted.
