WooCommerce GoCardless

WooCommerce GoCardless is a payment gateway that collects payments straight from customers' bank accounts. It handles both one-off and recurring bank payments, so invoices, memberships, subscriptions, and installments can be paid through the gateway. Shoppers enter their bank details in the GoCardless Drop-in and stay on your site to finish checkout.

Key Features

• Direct Debit payments – Customers can pay by bank direct debit, a method commonly used in the UK and Europe.
• One-off and recurring – The gateway collects both single payments and repeating bank payments from your store.
• Open banking coverage – Open banking payments are supported in the UK, Ireland, Germany, and France.
• Instant Bank Pay – Instant Bank Pay is available for supported countries and currencies only.
• GoCardless Drop-in – Shoppers enter their bank account details in the GoCardless Drop-in without leaving your site.
• Subscriptions support – The extension works with WooCommerce Subscriptions, a separate extension, to take subscription payments through the gateway.
• Pre-Orders support – With the separate WooCommerce Pre-Orders extension, pre-order products can be paid through the GoCardless gateway.
• Checkout blocks – Cart and checkout pages can be managed with the block editor.

Who Is It For

This gateway suits WooCommerce store owners who want to take bank payments rather than card payments, especially merchants in the UK and Europe handling invoices, memberships, subscriptions, or installments. It is also relevant to stores using WooCommerce Subscriptions or WooCommerce Pre-Orders, since the extension works with those separate extensions.
