The advantage of sending this email from Chargebee is that it allows you to configure elements such as your company logo, signature etc.
Click Save.
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.
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.
Once a mandate is generated, Stripe verifies it in 3 business days and then another 3 business days are required to confirm the success or failure of the payment.
You must notify their customers during mandate creation and before they are charged. To do so, you can enable the following email notifications in Chargebee:
Mandate Creation
Pre-notification
Follow the steps below to navigate to these notifications
Go to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Email Notifications
Select the Payments and credits category
Both notifications will be available there. You can edit the template as per your requirements.
