Kalplex

Returns & dunningEarly access

SEPA debits can be returned — refunded at the shopper's request, refused or failed for lack of funds. Kalplex reads the reason and starts the right follow-up automatically.

Reason codeMeaningKalplex follow-up
MD06Refund requested by the payer (within 8 weeks)Reminder with a pay-by-link option; order flagged for review
AM04Insufficient fundsRetry option plus reminder with payment link
AC04Account closedAsk for new bank details or another payment method
AC06Account blockedReminder with payment link; no automatic retry
MD01No valid mandatePause pay later for the customer and request a new mandate
MS02Refused by the payerReminder with payment link; customer marked for review

Reason codes follow the ISO 20022 return codes used in SEPA. The exact code a bank sends can vary.

  1. 01

    Friendly reminder

    An email explaining the debit didn't go through, with a link to pay by bank transfer or card.

  2. 02

    Second reminder

    A follow-up a few days later with the outstanding amount and order reference.

  3. 03

    Final notice

    A last reminder before you decide how to proceed, such as pausing pay later for the customer.

  4. 04

    Your hand-off

    Unresolved cases are listed for you — to contact the customer or pass to your collections process.

Keep dunning outside CCD2 too

Late-payment charges must stay limited and within what national law allows. Kalplex doesn't add fees to reminders by default — read the guardrails.

Create your account, connect GoCardless and switch on pay later in your own checkout.
