"Go Cardless - use it or your loosing time & money"

5/5

What do you like best about GoCardless?

Its connected to Xero. It's one simple action to invoice a client and let Go Cardless do the rest. My clients have a different $ value invoiced to them every fortnight, Go Cardless handles this with ease. No more chasing unpaid invoices, no more reconciling individual payments, no more concerns about cash flow, no more concerns about anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCardless?

Would be great to have the payments come through less than 3 days after they have been taken from the clients account, but I understand why. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GoCardless:Effortless Recurring Payments."

5/5

What do you like best about GoCardless?

What I like best about GoCardless is its seamless automation of recurring payments and direct debits. It reduces administrative effort and ensures timely transactions, making cash flow management simple and reliable for both businesses and customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCardless?

One drawback of GoCardless is that payment processing times are sometimes slower than anticipated. Additionally, the reporting features could be more comprehensive, offering greater detail to help users better understand transaction trends and customer behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoCardless solving and how is that benefiting you?

GoCardless addresses the difficulties of handling recurring and automated payments with efficiency. It removes the burden of manual billing, helps to cut down on payment delays, and reduces the likelihood of transaction errors. Through the automation of direct debits, it enhances the predictability of cash flow and enables greater attention to be given to growing the business instead of chasing payments.

"Useful for collecting money but could be better"

4/5

What do you like best about GoCardless?

It help us a lot to collect payments from our partners using direct debit. It gives us security that we will receive, and we don’t need to wait too long or send many reminders. Most of the process is automatic, which save us a lot of time every month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCardless?

In our personal case, we had some problems with the QuickBooks integration. The payments are not always matched correctly with the right invoices. It doesn’t mark the invoice as paid automatically like we expected, so our finance team still need to check and organize who paid what. It creates a bit more work for us, even if the money is already on our side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good tool for getting paid, but could be faster"

4/5

What do you like best about GoCardless?

We use GoCardless to charge our partners by Direct Debit. It works fine and helps us to be sure we will get the money. No more chasing people to pay invoices. Once the setup is done, it works almost automatic and gives peace of mind. We can focus on the work, not on payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCardless?

I think the fee is a bit high, especially if you have small payments. Also, it takes a few days until we get the money in our bank account after the client pays. I wish it was faster, like 2 days max. Sometimes we need the cashflow more quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoCardless solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before GoCardless we had to send reminders to our partners and wait a lot until they pay. Some forget, some delay, and that creates problems for our finance team. Now everything is automated. We can send the Direct Debit link once and next time the invoice is paid on time. Much more easy and less stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy way to get paid always on time"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GoCardless?

I like that I don’t need to chase clients for payments anymore. We setup the Direct Debit one time and after that the money come on the right day. No stress, no need to send reminders. It save us lot of time and we know every invoice will be paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoCardless?

Comissions are a bit high and it is difficult to convince clients to setup the DD mandate in the beginning, they get confused or think is complicated. Also the dashboard sometimes feel too much, I just want to see simple info fast. Support reply ok but sometimes take time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoCardless solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before we was losing time sending emails and waiting clients to pay invoices. Sometimes they forget, or pay late, and that make problems for our cashflow. With GoCardless we just activate the Direct Debit and the payments come automatically. We don’t need to remind or ask again. It’s good to have control and no more overdue invoices.
