Updated over 2 weeks ago

You can now charge your clients automatically and securely via SEPA direct debit.

Payment Settings in Harbiz

From the Business & Payments > Harbiz Payment Summary, you can manage how you receive payments from your subscription clients and review the status of your transfers in detail.

Payment methods for your clients

Choose how you'd like your subscription clients to pay you. You can select from the following options:

  • Card payments only

  • Direct debit only (SEPA Direct Debit)

  • Both options (the client can choose their preferred method)

  • Detailed Transactions
    View a complete breakdown of your transactions, organized by:

    • Date

    • Type of transaction

    • Net amount

    • Total amount

    • Applied commission

    • Description of the transaction


Disputes

You can now easily view and manage all disputes from the Payment Receipts section in your Harbiz dashboard.

Within this section, you'll find a tab called Disputes, where a table will display all relevant information:

  • Date of the transaction

  • Disputed amount

  • Dispute status

  • Payment method used

  • Associated invoice

  • Involved client

  • Available actions: mark as resolved or contact the client if your intervention is needed

💡 Dispute Notifications: You’ll now receive a notification whenever a client rejects a payment and triggers a dispute. Additionally, a dispute status will be added to the client's profile so you can easily identify it.


Payment status types by payment method

  • Direct Debit (SEPA):

This payment method can only result in the Lost status.

ℹ️ Due to banking regulations, clients can cancel a SEPA charge without providing justification within a specific period. The bank does not allow appeals or counterclaims, which means the dispute is automatically lost.

  • Card Payments:
    Disputes related to card payments can have the following statuses:

Action required: Your response is needed.

Under review: The dispute is being reviewed by the bank.

Won: The dispute was resolved in your favor.

Lost: The dispute was resolved in the client's favor.


Available actions by payment method

  • Direct Debit (SEPA):


    Mark as resolved: Use this option if you no longer wish to follow up on the dispute. Once marked as resolved, the status will change to Closed.

  • Card Payments:


    📩 Contact us: Opens a direct conversation with the Harbiz Support Team in case you need assistance with the dispute. Once the process is completed (either won or lost), the dispute will appear as Closed.
