Direct Debit
Achieve Seamless Bank Debit Transactions
Direct debit enables you to accept payments seamlessly by:
- Linking your customer’s bank accounts safely, supporting repeat and subsequent purchases
- Pulling funds directly from your customer’s bank account, completing payments on the same platform
- Settling funds instantly, allowing better visibility and immediate access to your funds
You will find direct debit useful if you:
- Look to accept large payments (e.g. luxury e-commerce items, downpayments)
- Design a cash-in flow or wallet top-up (e.g. digital wallets)
- Provide a service that is paid on a recurring basis (e.g. subscriptions, monthly investment plans, membership fee renewals)
Payment Experience
What makes direct debit attractive as a payment method is its simple payment experience. Your end users only need to link their bank account and make the payment.

Mobile Banking with Xendit
Mobile banking is a type of direct debit with a slightly different process than what is commonly known. The main difference is that mobile banking has no linking mechanism and supporting only one-time payments. This flow requires end user authorization on every payment through the banking app. Mobile banking is only supported by banks in Thailand.
Integration Types
If you are using third-party integrations (TPI), particularly Shopify, Woocommerce and Wix, you may integrate with our XenInvoice to accept direct debit payments. Every time your customer checks out, they will be redirected to their chosen bank for direct debit. To learn more about how to integrate Xendit on your Shopify, Woocommerce or Wix website, you may head to Third-Party Plugins/Extensions in our Integrations section.
Using direct debit on your TPI-powered website simply follows the direct debit generic payment flow. The user interface is pre-built so no development work is needed!
For a live simulated user experience, you may head to demo.xendit.co and use the sample OTP & log-in details in the Integration Guide.
If you power your own website and use the new payment API or the legacy API, you may allow your customers to link their chosen banks at any time and return to your page or application should they want to make direct debit payments.
To further view implementation details per available bank channel, you may head over to Payment Flows.
