SEPA
SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area) enables euro payments between cross-border bank accounts across the eurozone.
SEPA payments aren't processed in real time.
Important
SEPA payments are not instantly processed.
It can take up to 5 working days before the payment is confirmed by the account holder's bank. Merchants that ship hard goods are advised to wait until the transaction reaches the COMPLETED status before mailing anything to the buyer.
You may check transaction status in Vendo BO https://backoffice.vend-o.com/, in the Action History section
SEPA Refunds
It's not advised to issue a refund for a SEPA transaction from the merchant's side. Instead the customer should contact their bank in order to return the charge.
SEPA payments should not be refunded
The correct way is to advise the customer to return the charge. They may do it anyway and get then a double refund.
Availability by country
SEPA is currently enabled for selected European countries. Vendo continuously monitors the performance of SEPA in available countries and enables it where performance is high and risk is low.
