Sofort transactions allow only payment action Purchase, which triggers the transaction type debit for payment method Sofort.

Successful transactions (i.e. payments for orders) are captured/invoiced automatically and do not have to be confirmed manually.

If this feature is Enabled, additional data will be sent for the purpose of fraud protection. This additional data includes billing/shipping address and shopping basket.

The descriptor is the text representing an order on the consumer's bank statement issued by their bank. It provides information for the consumer, as it associates a specific debit on the consumer's account with the respective purchase in your shop.

• For Sofort, each request/response must contain the descriptor. The extension ensures that the descriptor is sent with each request/response.
• By default, the descriptor text consists of the first 9 characters of the shop name and the order number.
  To modify the descriptor, use the method create_descriptor in the file woocommerce-credit-agricole-ee/credit-agricole-woocommerce-extension/classes/helper/class-additional-information.php.
