On-Demand Debit Experience

The payment experience is important to us, that’s why we have built borderless™ to be flexible to your needs. We have built two debit experiences which can be used. Choosing an experience will impact your development time to integrate with our solution.

  • On-Demand Debit API- This method allows On-Demand Debits to be triggered via API, integrated with your solution and customized to your specific needs.
  • Plans- This requires no development work. This tool is needed to manage your On-Demand Debit plans regardless if use our API or not.

On-Demand Flow Overview

The On-Demand Debit experience is simple and easy to manage.

  • Step 1: Create an On-Demand Direct Debit Plan using our "Plans" tab in your dashboard.
  • Step 2: Enter the plan name, maximum amount that can be charged, and description. All details will be displayed to the customer when they are invited.
  • Step 3: Invite one or more clients via email or using their PayMe @handles “@borderless” or include a link on your website or custom emails.
  • Step 4 (optional): The customer receives an invitation asking them to subscribe to the On-Demand Direct Debit Plan. If a link is used, this step is skipped.
  • Step 5: The customer will log into their borderless™ account and accept the details of the plan. If they don’t have a borderless™ account, they can create one in under 5 minutes.
  • Step 6: You get notified of their action and now can debit their bank account. You can use our dashboard or On-Demand Debit API to trigger debits at any time.
  • Step 7: Once you trigger a debit, the customer gets notified and the payment is processed after 3 business days. The customer needs to be notified 3 days in advance. The funds then take 2-3 business days after being processed to be reflected in your bank account. We recommend you debit a customer’s bank account a week beforehand.
