Kalplex

SEPA e-mandates

Every pay-later order starts with a SEPA Core mandate: the shopper's authorisation for you to debit their account. Kalplex captures it in seconds and keeps the proof.

Creditor identifier

Your SEPA creditor ID and name, so the mandate and every debit are clearly yours.

Unique mandate reference

A reference that appears on each debit and ties it back to the order.

Debtor details

Account holder name and IBAN, validated before the mandate is created.

Consent and timestamp

The text the shopper agreed to and when they agreed to it.

Device evidence

IP address and session details captured at signing.

Status history

Every change, from submitted to active, cancelled or expired.

Hosted by GoCardless, in your name

Shoppers enter their bank details on GoCardless's secure, scheme-compliant pages. Kalplex never sees or stores the full IBAN — only the bank name and last digits, so you can show which account a mandate uses.

Key points:
  • Scheme-compliant mandate wording
  • Bank details collected by a regulated payment institution
  • Mobile-friendly, multi-language pages

SEPA Core rulebook

Do shoppers need to print or sign anything?
No. The mandate is signed online during checkout — an e-mandate — and the evidence is stored electronically.
Whose name appears on the bank statement?
Yours. Debits are collected under your creditor identifier and creditor name.
Can one mandate be used again?
Yes. A returning shopper's active mandate can be reused for later pay-later orders, without signing again.
What if the shopper cancels the mandate?
Kalplex receives the cancellation, stops future debits on it and flags any open orders so you can ask for another payment method.
