Prefix

For all collecting SEPA Direct Debit contracts, Buckaroo uses a prefix to distinguish between the authorizations of various merchants. The merchant must use this required prefix for each mandate reference. This prefix is mentioned under the SEPA subscription, involves 3 characters, and is mandatory for every collecting authorization via Buckaroo. The merchant decides what comes behind the prefix. Often the subscription, registration, telephone, or card number within the subscriptions administration is used for this purpose.

Note: To find the prefix, go to My Buckaroo -> General

Example:

If you as a merchant have been assigned the prefix X6A and the mandate reference number determined by the merchant is 12000001, the authorization has to be offered with the following mandate number: X6A12000001.
