Debit Request Type
In OCS.io, a Debit Request Type is a pre-defined list of values that specifies the type of payment method that a customer has authorized for automatic debiting. This list of values is used by the system to perform activities related to debiting customer bank accounts.
The Debit Request Type can be either "Direct Debit", "Credit Card", "PayPal", or any other payment method that is supported by the system. When a customer authorizes automatic debiting, they specify which payment method they want to use, and this information is stored as a Debit Request Type in the system.
The Debit Request Type is used by the system to perform a variety of tasks related to debiting customer bank accounts, such as generating payment requests, calculating fees and charges, and updating account balances. The system uses the Debit Request Type to determine which payment gateway or processor to use for processing the payment, as well as to determine any specific rules or regulations that apply to the payment method.
