Overall Satisfaction with GoCardless

We use GoCardless to take direct debit payments from customers wishing to pay by installments.
  • Makes it easy to set up a series of direct debit payments
  • Helps us to get paid more reliably
  • Provides a means to take one-off card payments without having our own card processing facility
  • The web-based admin dashboard for setting up direct debits can be a little confusing
  • Ease of use
  • Low transaction fee
  • It has helped us to provide alternative payment options to our clients
  • It has helped us to secure regular and timely payments with the minimum of fuss
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 business-to-business payments.

Some services we provide (e.g., web hosting) are billed on a recurring basis. Operationally, and from an internal point of view, it makes sense to bill these annually. For cash flow, customers prefer to pay monthly, and we use GoCardless to set up monthly direct debit payments against our annual invoices. This keeps our customers happy while giving us our regular income without incurring the administrative overhead of monthly billing and payment handling.
