GoCardless
Chose GoCardless
GoCardless sends an email when a customer signs up in the portal which is crucial. We have many issues with not knowing when a customer has signed up to make a payment. GoCardless is seamless with a checkbox that makes this function possible. Our other software does not do …
Chose GoCardless
GoCardless better fit Kanopy's needs for the following reasons: (1) desire to decrease credit card payments which carry higher costs, (2) single payment solution for 12+ countries via direct debit at no fees for customers, and (3) better customer integration potential for …
Chose GoCardless
We didn't research a lot of platforms as GoCardless offered pretty much everything we were looking for, i.e low cost, easy to use & implement.
Chose GoCardless
It stacks up well against Stripe but I think they serve different purposes. Stripe is better when it comes to integrations, GoCardless is great for recurring payments, particularly for service-based businesses.
Chose GoCardless
GoCardless provides a simple way to take one-off card payments or set up direct debits for customers. Payment links can be included on electronic invoices, and certainly, from a UK perspective, it provides a more professional appearance than using, say, PayPal for …
Chose GoCardless
For direct debit it is superb. Integration is much easier, and it supports the different strands of our company's UK and European payments landscape.
Chose GoCardless
Gocardless had no integration or monthly fees. You only pay for what you use. Windcave has monthly fees (and a setup fee).
Chose GoCardless
[GoCardless has] lower fees and is easier to use.

This application is well suited for any organization, or area processing large volumes of payments. We utilize it to assist with the processing of lockbox, and loan payments.

I think it's a great payment gateway for small businesses which are new to the business and looking for something low budget & an easy-to-use platform to begin accepting the payments. It does streamline the cash flow & gives good visibility to payment status but sometimes it takes 3-4 days in the reconciliation of balances which might not be suitable for businesses looking to have a quick turn-around-time of balances.

There is no phone support, email only, and the support is slow coming. The support staff often don't read your support query properly, so you waste time having to re-explain yourself. That is the only downside of this product.
