A small detail that often gets overlooked in the daily routine of running a shop (like so many other little things):
Under Modules > Payment Options > Direct Debit, there is an "Update" button. In principle, you need to click this once a week because new bank codes (BIC numbers) are constantly appearing, disappearing, or changing.
We automate this process using a simple cron job. And since the Bundesbank sometimes takes a few seconds to respond, we also verify before importing that we have indeed received the complete list.
Requirements:
- Cron jobs are permitted by your host or included in your hosting package.
- We require access to your hosting backend to set up the cron job for you.
And just like that, there’s one less thing you have to think about regularly. By the way, the
sitemap is another one of those things...
