Collection period

If the return process takes too long to verify, you can pause the collection period for 2–4 weeks.

Have your Betaal per Maand client number ready, and email [email protected]

Gift cards

When paying with a gift card and Betaal per Maand, customers must enter the gift card details before placing their order, i.e. on your checkout page.

This is because Santander collects and require precise order specifications. Our platform would interpret the gift card as a discount and generate incorrect order information, e.g. tax calculations.

You are solely responsible for this in your integration.

Known error

The customer's first and last name, and the delivery details must be at least 2 characters long. Anything shorter can cause errors.

We recommend always requiring full names, not initials, abbreviations, or acronyms.

You can still change an order between approval from Santander and shipment.

How to change orders before shipment

  2. Go to Transactions > Transaction overview, and then click the relevant transaction.
  3. On the Transaction details page, under Order summary, click Change order status.
