An insurance company offers a one-year health insurance plan with monthly premiums of N10000. The company can use a closed fixed mandate to debit N10000 from the customer’s account each month for 12 months. After 12 months, the mandate expires.

API Integration Workflow

...

  • Creating a Mandate:

    • The merchant requests to set up a direct debit using the customer's account details.

    • The Mandate Creation request is successful, and the mandate status will be "Pending"

    • Once Monnify creates mandate, the status will be changed to “Pending Authorization”

  • Authorizing a Mandate:

    • The customer authorizes the mandate. Authorization instructions can be received through:

      • An authorization email sent directly by Monnify to the customer's email address.

      • An authorization link returned from the status API response, which the merchant can present to their customer.

  • Debiting a Mandate:

    • Once authorized successfully, the mandate status will be ‘Activated’ and merchants can use the Debit APIs to debit the account linked to the mandate as per the agreed terms.

    • The APIs accommodate different use cases, whether fixed or flexible debits, open or closed mandates based on set up.
