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.
Recevoir des paiements avec le SEPA
MemberPress supports SEPA as a payment method only through the built-in integration with Stripe. Therefore, before enabling SEPA, please connectez Stripe à MemberPress sur votre site. Testez également la connexion pour vous assurer qu'elle fonctionne correctement.
After you set and test your Stripe connection, follow these steps to enable SEPA on your MemberPress registration forms:
- Connectez-vous à votre compte Stripe et naviguez vers Paramètres > Méthodes de paiement.
- Faites défiler vers le bas jusqu'à la rubrique Débits bancaires et set SEPA as a payment method.

- Suivant, se connecter à votre site web Tableau de bord.
- Naviguez jusqu'à Dashboard > MemberPress > Payments tab et enable SEPA in MemberPress.
As a result, your membership registration forms will now show SEPA as a payment option. The SEPA payment option will be available sur les formulaires Stripe Checkout et Stripe Element.

On the registration form, customers will be asked to provide their name and bank account number in IBAN format. Further, by submitting their payment data, they are accepting a mandate that authorizes your company to debit their account.
Que faut-il savoir sur l'utilisation du SEPA ?
Le prélèvement SEPA peut être utilisé comme moyen de paiement pour les paiements récurrents et non récurrents. En outre, le SEPA permet des adhésions avec des essais gratuits ou payants.
On the other hand, the SEPA payment option will only be displayed if all conditions are met. SEPA integration comes with several limitations imposed by SEPA or Stripe.
Firstly, as mentioned, SEPA is a payment method primarily for the European Union countries. As such, it supports payments only between EUR-denominated bank accounts within the SEPA region. Therefore, to use SEPA with MemberPress, you must set la devise dans les paramètres MemberPress à EUR.
Suivant, you must set your (merchant) country to one of the countries supported for SEPA. You can find the list of pays de la région SEPA on the European Central Bank's website. Additionally, some countries outside the SEPA region can also accept SEPA Direct Debit payments with local currency settlement.
Furthermore, you must set the same supported country both in your MemberPress settings and Stripe account. Supported countries are:
- Australie,
- Autriche,
- Belgique,
- Bulgaria,
- Canada,
- Croatia,
- Cyprus,
- Czech Republic,
- Danemark,
- Estonie,
- Finlande,
- France,

Managing the Delayed Payment Method
Finally, please note that Le SEPA est un mode de paiement à notification différée. 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 prolonger le délai de grâce par défaut to 14 days. Otherwise, your users might be without access to your protected content until you receive the payment.
