Stripe Adapter for SAP Digital Payments add-on

The certified Stripe Adapter for SAP DPA integrates with Stripe, delivering a range of payment features for both SAP and Stripe users. It works with Payment Elements and supports more than 40 payment methods. It also works on SAP S/4 HANA Private or Public Cloud with no additional configuration and simplifies automatic bank reconciliation, eliminating the need for manual reconciliation.

Install the SAP DPA

To install the SAP DPA:

1. Install and configure the SAP DPA (directly from SAP).

2. Onboard the DPA tenant on the Stripe app.

Customer benefits

The Stripe adapter enhances the functionality of the SAP Digital Payment Add-On, and addresses a range of user needs for businesses that use SAP S/4HANA. Some of the key use-cases for SAP DPA include:

• Online sales: The SAP DPA eases the process for orders made through e-commerce platforms or directly through an ERP, which is common in B2B transactions. It automates the entire payment flow from authorisation and capture of payments, to reconciling them.

• Managing payment methods: DPA provides an option to store default payment methods for SAP business partners, which creates seamless transactions that can be initiated and completed without requiring any customer action.

• Accounts receivable: For orders that are managed outside SAP, DPA offers a support system that reconciles external payments with SAP Accounting.

• Automated Fulfilment: When payments are authorised outside of SAP in e-commerce transactions, a customer portal, or a terminal device, DPA acts as a link between the fulfilment from SAP and capture of the payment, which ensures that customers are charged correctly for their purchase.

External payments processes

The SAP DPA supports “external payments”. External payments are payments made using external channels, or bank debits or redirects, rather than payment cards.

You can implement external payments in two ways. You can use a one-step process (known as “direct capture”) where the payment is charged directly to the payer’s account without any prior authorisation. You can also use a two-step process (known as “manual capture” or “separate authorisation and capture”) where the payment is first authorised against the payer’s account before being charged.

The Stripe V2 adapter supports the following business processes:

• External payment direct capture
• External payment separate authorisation and capture
• External payment authorisation
• External payment settlement
• External payment refund
• Digital payment advice
• External payment authorisation preparation
• External payment direct capture preparation

Adapter pricing

The adapter is free. New Stripe users must create a Stripe account separately from the extension installation. There are no setup, monthly or other fees. Charges from SAP apply for the usage of the SAP DPA.
