The Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) Direct Debit is a bank debit payment method introduced by the European Union. This payment method enables direct payments between Euro-based bank accounts within or between European Union member countries. MemberPress integration with Stripe allows you to receive payments through SEPA.
This document will guide you through the setup process and provide additional details on using SEPA with Stripe and MemberPress.

Managing the Delayed Payment Method
Finally, please note that SEPA ist eine Zahlungsmethode mit verzögerter Benachrichtigung. Accordingly, it will take up to 14 days to process the payment and send the notification of success or failure to MemberPress.
By default, MemberPress creates subscriptions on your site with a 1-day grace period to compensate for processing time. Hence, you would need to die tilgungsfreie Zeit zu verlängern to 14 days. Otherwise, your users might be without access to your protected content until you receive the payment.
