Direct Debit
GoCardless mandates and collection.
Replaces a separate invoicing app and a folder of unpaid PDFs. Money arrives in days rather than weeks, and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.
Invoice from the driveway. Get paid before you leave it.
One tap turns the job into a branded invoice with a Pay Now link — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Direct Debit. Reminders chase politely on your behalf. Xero or QuickBooks are updated for you.
Debtor days drop from weeks to days, and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.
- Set up a GoCardless mandate once and collect from the customer without asking again
- Suits landlords, letting agents and anyone on a maintenance arrangement
- Collections are reconciled back to the invoice automatically
- Cheaper than card for larger balances, and far cheaper than waiting 60 days
Step 05 of the job: invoice
Marking the job complete raises the invoice from the accepted quote, nets off the deposit, attaches the certificate and sends it with a Pay Now link — before the van has left the drive.
Direct Debit is one part of that step. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →
What does direct Debit replace?
For most trade businesses, a separate invoicing app and a folder of unpaid PDFs. Money arrives in days rather than weeks, and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.
Does direct Debit work on a phone, and offline?
Yes. The mobile app is offline-first: records created on site are stored on the device and synced automatically, in order, when signal returns. Lofts, plant rooms and rural sites were the design brief.
Which plan is it on?
Every paid plan. Direct Debit is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
How long does it take to start using?
Minutes. Start a 14-day free trial with no card, pick your trades at sign-up, and direct Debit is switched on with your trade's templates already in place.
