Currently I'm just planning to send a notificaiton on payment_intent.processing, but naturally this does not fire until you initiate the payment.

Here ya go

[blissful scarab]

Alright, but payment_intent.processing does not fire before the payment is initiated?

[gray moth]

Correct. If you feel you need to send notifications before a payment is created, then you would need to use a different trigger. There's no "I think a payment might be created" Event

[blissful scarab]

So I should just put in my mandate that we send notifications when payments are initiated?

Doesn't seem to be possible to do anything else here

I only ask because it seems this pre-notification is a requirement

like this

I also cannot set my creditor ID. It gives me this:

[gray moth]

I think the intent there is to notify in advance of the actual payment. SEPA is a delayed payment method, so you can expect some number of days to occur between when a payment is created, and when it result in money movement. That's my understanding at least

For the CID, you will need to write into support about that: https://support.stripe.com/contact

[blissful scarab]

Okay, so I'll just do the processing event then and hope it works out

Can you help me understand where I'm supposd to find sepa_debit[reference] listed here https://docs.stripe.com/payments/sepa-debit#debit-notification-emails ? It's not on the payment_method

[gray moth]

I believe it's on the Payment Intent. Hold on, let me grab it

[blissful scarab]

ok

ah yeah it's on payment_method_details.mandate

[gray moth]

Yep, there ya go. It's also on the Mandate object itself (if that's at all useful): https://docs.stripe.com/api/mandates/object#mandate_object-payment_method_details-sepa_debit-reference

[blissful scarab]

so I need the reference in there of course, not the stripe mandate ID

[gray moth]

Correct

[blissful scarab]

Turns out creditor ID is not somethinh you can just make up. You have to request one from your bank, apparently

I submitted feedback to the support team that the docs could use some work on that subject because that is not mentioned anywhere on the SEPA payment page, it's only here: https://support.stripe.com/questions/request-a-sepa-creditor-id-from-your-bank

[gray moth]

Ahhh, okay

[blissful scarab]

I asked my bank. Thanks for the help.
