Mandate notifications

Updated 1 month ago

A mandate is a representation of an agreement between the end-user and the merchant for pulling funds out of the end-user's account based on the agreement for the service.

When status of the direct debit mandate changes, ie. when it becomes active, declined, changed or cancelled this is communicated through the account and cancel notification to the NotificationURL submitted when setting up the mandate. Make sure the NotificationURL can receive calls for a long time since mandates lives for a long time.

Activation of mandates

When a consumer has signed the mandate Trustly will send an account notification containing the AccountID and directdebitmandate = 0 that indicates that the mandate is sent for approval. When the mandate is activated Trustly will send a new account notification with the same AccountID and directdebitmandate = 1. The mandate is now active and can be used to send charge. If the mandate for some reason is not approved Trustly will send a cancel notification with a reason.


Deactivation of mandates

If a consumer cancels the mandate in the bank Trustly will send a cancel notification with a reason. In the case where consumer is setting up a new mandate, and the account is configured for only allowing one mandate per account, then the cancel notification will contain the accountId that is already in use.


When consumer change bank

When a consumer changes bank account this is notified via account notification for the mandate order: An account notification is sent with directdebitmandate = 0 with the original accountid indicating deactivation of the mandate. Another account notification with directdebitmandate = 1 with a new accountid indicating activation of the mandate. The orderid is the same for both notifications. The order of the notifications can not be guaranteed.

Please note that this is enabled for UK/BACS only. In Sweden, there is basically no deactivation/activation sent, but the mandate will still be valid even if the consumer switches bank. For SepaDD, there's no mechanism for this.


Example Deactivation notification:

JSON
data: {
  ...
	 "orderid":"3473567567",
   "accountid":"1111111111",
   "attributes":
   {
   	"directdebitmandate":"0",
     ...
   }
}


Example Activation notification:

JSON
data: {
  ...
	"orderid":"3473567567",
   "accountid":"2222222222",
   "attributes":
   {
   	"directdebitmandate":"1",
     ...
   }
}


Please note that as these notifications may be received in reversed order, hence you must handle the deactivation of accountId and activation of the accountId independently of the order. By this, basically you need to be able to handle multiple accountId's for one order.

Please also note that this is only applicable in the UK market, in SE this does not trigger any notifications and with Sepa it's not supported at all.

The account notification is used to send information about the mandate and what account information the mandate is afflicted with. Please note that the notification is sent multiple times, eg once mandate is created and then later when it's activated.

When a mandate has been cancelled/failed an account cancel notification is sent. Regardless if the consumer cancels the mandate in their bank or if the mandate is cancelled by the merchant. A cancel notification is also sent if the consumer would abort during the mandate setup.

JSON
{
    "method": "cancel",
    "params": {
        "signature":"RI1PTmjTgr5Ig1p....AF7ejFUGxwKQ==",
        "uuid": "258a2184-2842-b485-25ca-293525152425",
        "data": {
            "orderid":"3473567567",
            "messageid":"453455465",
            "notificationid":"35673567",
            "attributes":
            {
                "reason":"FAILED",
                "details":"BACS ADDACS_1(INSTRUCTION CANCELLED BY PAYER)",

            }
        }
    },
    "version": "1.1"
}

The reason for why a mandate was failed or cancelled can be found in the details.
