Data field explanations

Since not all fields are self-explanatory, here is some more info on them:

Payment method reference

An external reference to identify the authorization or mandate of the payment method at the payment provider. This field is optional.

Payment provider reference

An external reference for the payment provider to identify the customer. When a payment intent for a customer's order or contract is called, this reference is used in a third-party system to identify the correct customer.

Account creation date

The date when the payment account was created at the payment provider. Required, e.g., for some external mandate management in the SEPA environment.

Merchant payment gateway

A unique external reference to identify the merchant payment account that is associated with this account.

Click “Save” to add the new payment account. It will be listed in the billing data section “Payment accounts”. If you want to cancel instead of save the new payment account, click “Discard” and the window will close.
