Who is it for?

GoCardless is made for businesses that bill their customers on a recurring basis. It’s ideal for collecting payment for both intermittent and repeating invoices as well as subscriptions, retainers and instalments.

How does GoCardless work?

GoCardless is a bank-to-bank payment method. It uses Direct Debit, ACH and PAD to automatically collect payments directly from your customer’s bank account.

Your customers only need to enter their payments details once, and that’s it. You’re authorised to collect all future payments without further action from your customer.

The amount you charge and when you charge can be fixed or flexible. In fact, it’s linked to the amount and due date on the Xero invoice you’ve sent your customer. Payments happen frictionlessly in the background.

How does it work with Xero?

Simple setup You can create an account from this page or directly within Xero. Once connected to Xero, it’s simple and secure to set your customers up to pay via GoCardless. Then, just send out your invoices and GoCardless can automatically collect payment when they are due.

One-click reconciliation Once invoice payment has been collected via GoCardless, the invoice is marked as ‘paid’ and an expense transaction is added for the GoCardless fee. Reconciling your payment can then be done with a single click!

Poor integration

Xero marks all invoices as PAID on the due date, while Go Cardless can then take another 5 days to make an actual collection and payout, so why mark it as paid ? Ridiculous. Other than that, I would give it a higher rating. Please fix it urgently.

Garbage

They have a $5,000 limit on payments that isn't obvious anywhere. To raise this limit they ask you more questions than the IRS. You send them what they ask for, and they don't take the time to read it properly and ask the same question again. Look elsewhere for ACH payments.
