## How Debit Cards Works

Debit Cards on Dodo Payments is implemented as a method-specific orchestration flow, not a generic on/off toggle. Debit cards use the **card network authorization** path with direct linkage to customer bank balances. Transactions pass issuer checks and may include 3DS where required, then settle through card acquiring rails. The checkout experience should treat intermediate states carefully: redirect started, customer returned, and final webhook confirmation can occur at different moments. Fulfillment logic should trigger only on a terminal success state.

Core operational points:
- **Display by eligibility** so Debit Cards appears only for valid country/currency corridors.
- **Handle asynchronous updates** and keep order state idempotent while payment status settles.
- **Track method analytics** (attempt rate, success rate, abandonment, and retry outcomes) by device and market.

## Where It's Available

Debit Cards is available **globally**, supports **all currencies**, and has a minimum transaction amount of **$0.50**. Transactions are processed **instantly**. Dodo Payments automatically shows Debit Cards to eligible customers based on their country, currency, and device -- no manual configuration needed.

Availability controls to keep accurate:
- **Country + currency gating** in checkout rendering logic.
- **Fallback sequencing** so users still see a strong alternative if Debit Cards is unavailable.
- **Clear buyer messaging** for unsupported corridors to reduce confusion.

## Use Cases

Debit Cards should be positioned where it naturally increases buyer confidence and reduces checkout friction. Debit cards are effective for price-sensitive buyers, subscription renewals, and markets where debit penetration is higher than credit. They also help reduce over-reliance on a single payment rail. It is most effective when merchants monitor method-level performance and continuously tune ranking rather than treating payment order as static.

Strong deployment patterns:
- **Market-specific checkout mixes** instead of one global payment stack.
- **Segment-aware presentation** (new vs returning users, mobile vs desktop, low vs high ticket).
- **Recovery flows** that offer an immediate alternative when Debit Cards is declined or abandoned.

## Integration with Dodo Payments

In Dodo Payments, Debit Cards appears as a dedicated payment option in hosted checkout and can be controlled through method eligibility settings. The API type string for this method is **`debit-cards`**. This keeps backend logic explicit and avoids ambiguous mapping when multiple wallets, cards, and bank methods are active.

Implementation checklist:
- **Enable `debit-cards`** for valid regions and currencies.
- **Consume webhooks** for final success, failure, and reversal states.
- **Reconcile method-level settlements** in finance reporting and refund operations.

This approach makes Debit Cards a measurable growth lever instead of a static payment checkbox.
