SEPA vs Credit Cards
Two Ways to Collect Recurring Payments
Every subscription can use automatic or manual billing — and you can switch per subscription at any time.
Automatic Billing
Set it, forget it
Payments are collected automatically via SEPA Direct Debit or saved card. Zero manual effort after setup.
Manual / Invoice-Based
Send invoice, receive transfer
An invoice is generated each cycle and the client pays via bank transfer. Ideal for B2B clients who require purchase-order workflows.
Switch per subscription, anytime
Start a client on manual billing and move them to automatic once trust is built — or the other way around. No disruption to the billing cycle.
Everything for subscription billing
From simple monthly plans to complex enterprise billing, PayRequest handles it all.
Automated billing
Set it and forget it. We automatically charge customers on their billing date.
SEPA Direct Debit
Collect payments directly from bank accounts. Lower fees, higher success rates.
Flexible intervals
