Yes. That is a thing that can be done, here’s Stripe’s documentation on how to set up a Direct Debit mandate: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/bacs-debit?locale=en-GB https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/bacs-debit?...
The thing that’s being missed here is that direct debits can be disputed in the same way a credit card payment can, and by default the customer wins. Their money will be refunded immediately by the bank, who will then go after you to get it back.
- oblio 4y agoOk, that's both interesting, slightly unsettling, but also doesn't really fall under: > You're telling me that, no strings attached, no repercussion This bit: > by default the customer wins. Their money will be refunded immediately by the bank, who will then go after you to get it back. sounds a lot to me like repercussions :-)

- jeltz 4y agoYes and no. Swedish banks for example will just deny direct debits unless the customer has explicitly agreed to let their accounts be charged. So direct debit works differently per country and per bank.
