[Chargebee] ACTION Required - Direct Debit mandate is cancelled in GoCardless
Problem Statement
Why did I receive an email from Chargebee with the subject: [Chargebee] ACTION Required: Direct Debit mandate is cancelled in GoCardless?
Solution
This is a Chargebee Invalid Payment Methods notification. It alerts your team when a GoCardless Direct Debit mandate is cancelled for a customer. With GoCardless, customers authorize withdrawals via a Direct Debit Mandate.
GoCardless notifies Chargebee when a mandate fails verification, expires, or is cancelled. Chargebee then marks the payment method as INVALID and the customer must add a new payment method.
Steps to Set It Up
- Contact the customer: Send a Request Payment Method email so they can update their payment details and set up a new mandate.
- Update notification recipients: Go to Settings > Chargebee Notifications > Invalid Payment Methods > Manage
Important Notes
Mandates can be cancelled at any time. For example, customers can cancel via their bank, or you can cancel from your GoCardless Dashboard.
