What payment method should I use to acquire a data offering?

When acquiring a paid data offering, there are two distinct methods for making payment to the data provider:

Method 1 : Payment via Stripe

Once the data provider has approved your acquisition request, you will need to complete the acquisition by processing a transaction through Stripe and:

1. Choose your preferred payment method: SEPA direct debit or credit card

2. Enter your bank details and click “Pay”

After completing the transaction, you will be redirected to “Transactions">”Acquirer”. 

You can then access the acquired data.

Method 2 :  Deferred payment upon invoice outside the Participant Portal

1. This payment method requires prior discussion with the data provider regarding the preferred payment method outside of the Participant Portal. Payment is therefore not processed through the Data Exchange Solution.

2. Once the acquisition has been confirmed, you can access the data for this offering directly under “Transactions” > “Acquirer”.
