Payment flow

1. If you have chosen Gateway JS, you will be redirected from the merchant's website to a gateway-hosted checkout page. Otherwise, Chargebee's checkout is used.
2. The end customer enters the bank account details and confirms the same. A mandate is generated based on the entered details, which authorises the Gateway to collect the payment.
3. Once a mandate is generated, it can take four to six days before a payment is cleared and settled.
   

Email Notifications

You must notify your end customers during mandate creation and before they are charged. To do so, they can enable the following email notifications in Chargebee:

• Mandate Creation
• Pre-notification

Follow the steps below to navigate to these notifications:

1. Go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Email Notifications
2. Select the Payments and credits category

Both notifications will be available there. You can edit the template as per your requirement.
