Introduction to Direct Debit using GoCardless

Use GoCardless with Sage Accounting to collect payments from your customers using Direct Debit. You can manage mandates and payments directly from your software.

GoCardless lets you collect payments from your customers using Direct Debit. This is useful for recurring payments or when you want to collect payments automatically.

With Sage Accounting, you can manage the full Direct Debit process in one place. This includes creating mandates, requesting payments, and tracking their status.

Direct Debit payments use a mandate. Your customer must authorise this before you can collect payment.

You can also let customers pay some fully outstanding invoices using their banking app. This is a separate payment option and doesn’t use a Direct Debit mandate.
