FAQs
Once the business you referred has completed six payment actions in their GoCardless account. There is a 30 day validation period before both the Eligible Advisor and Active Eligible Merchant have their respective discounts applied to their GoCardless account within 14 to 90 days. See terms and conditions for more details.
Once activated, the new merchant will get their 25% discount for 12 months total. For advisors, the 15% discount will be applied for a period of one year, starting from the date the discount is first applied. To qualify for a renewal of the 15% discount for an additional year, advisors must refer and successfully onboard a minimum of five new Active Eligible Merchants during the preceding 12 month period. Subject to approval by GoCardless.
There are three things businesses do on their dashboard that help qualify them as “active users”:
Getting a customer to set up a bank debit or PayTo mandate (which allows that business to automate payment collection from that customer).
Collecting a direct debit or PayTo payment.
Any business that signs up and then completes any combination of payment actions. Once they total six payment actions, we classify them as an “active” user of GoCardless. We use this to qualify your commission.
Once you have your unique tracking link, you can share it in any way you like with your customers. You can send it via email, SMS, WhatsApp, share on your social channels, or even create a QR code for them to scan.
Anyone can be an advisor. A good candidate for our program is any individual or business who has relevant contacts in their network. No need to be a GoCardless customer yourself. You could have clients, members or followers who would benefit from collecting their payments with GoCardless.
We’ll process your review within a week, and if successful, we’ll get in touch with the details to set up your introductory call.
