What is GoCardless?GoCardless is a Direct Debit provider that allows you to collect payments direct from your client’s bank. Unlike a Standing Order where you’re reliant on them to send you money, with GoCardless and Direct Debit, they grant you permission and you take the money.
It almost completely removes late payments which improves your cashflow massively. Their fees are incredibly low at just 1% but capped at £2 per transaction with no monthly fees and free signup. We highly recommend you start using GoCardless if you’re based in the UK.
See the GoCardless Integration in actionImmediately after your client signs the proposal, they'll see a page that looks like this. They'll then be redirected to GoCardless to set up their Direct Debit and then sent back. Meanwhile, a charge for the amount you set will be started. Once they've completed it, they'll be sent back, the payment block will go green and let them know the payment is successful.
That money is then processed by GoCardless and will be released in accordance with your collection and payout dates.
Now they're a customer in your GoCardless account, you can start a subscription with 1-click.
