💰 Sales – Direct Debit Order
A direct debit order is a cashless payment method in which the payee collects a financial amount directly from the payer's account. This payment method is used primarily for regular or recurring payments.
In ABRA Flexi, direct debit orders can be created not only in the Sales module, but also in the Money module.
