I was recently approached by GoCardless to offer advice on their development of an interface for their Direct Debit service with Sage 50 ...

I was really pleased that they had the foresight to consult with Sage users and trainers as they did the development, and they listened to our comments and acted on the advice too.

"GoCardless is the leading Direct Debit provider in the UK!"

Their system helps companies to take payments without having to chase customers, and unlike their competitors, they only charge 1% per payment (minimum charge 20p) up to a maximum of £2 and nothing else.

They have developed an add-on for Sage 50 Accounts that allows you to use their award-winning system from within Sage for the first time. I have used it myself and can vouch for the fact that it is remarkably easy to use. Once you have your customers set up, there's no need to chase them for payments, saving you loads of time.

It works very well for regular subscription type payments, where you have an ongoing relationship with your customers, and for service businesses such as accountants and consultants. It is a great alternative to asking your clients to set up standing order payments, as well as for more general invoice payments.

So what are the benefits?

I really like GoCardless' Sage 50 integration and the transaction fees automatically get allocated into your chart of accounts so you can see how much you've paid them.

"Would you like to know more?"

Until next time ...
