GoCardless
What is GoCardless?
GoCardless is a specialized global payment network that simplifies direct debit transactions, making it easy to collect both recurring and one-off payments straight from your customers' bank accounts. By connecting GoCardless with Konnectify, your business can automate administrative billing tasks, align customer authorization flows with your CRM, and process payments dynamically based on milestones met in other business applications.
Create a secure merchant account to start collecting direct debits globally.

Sign Up Free →API & Authentication
To establish a secure integration, GoCardless utilizes an OAuth 2.0 authorization framework paired with your unique Client ID and Client Secret. This security layer ensures that your credentials remain hidden, allowing Konnectify to securely interact with the GoCardless API to manage mandates and payments on your behalf.
You can locate your Client ID and Client Secret inside your GoCardless Developer Dashboard under the API Credentials tab.
GoCardless maintains separate credentials for sandbox testing and live production environments. Ensure you use production credentials when activating live billing workflows, as sandbox credentials will fail to connect on live payment runs.
For comprehensive API specifications and environment guidelines, visit the official GoCardless Developer Documentation.
How to Connect
- An active GoCardless merchant account (Sandbox or Production).
- Your GoCardless Client ID and Client Secret.
- An active Konnectify account.
Add GoCardless to a Workflow
Open your Konnectify visual workflow builder, click "Add App", and select GoCardless from the billing application library.
Authorize Connection
Input your GoCardless Client ID and Client Secret in the connection modal. Click "Connect" to prompt the secure GoCardless portal, and authorize the integration permissions.
Configure Action Mappings
Choose your GoCardless action step and map fields dynamically (such as customer reference, values, and currency) from previous triggers in your workflow.
Double-check that bank mandate references are dynamically mapped rather than hardcoded to prevent payment failures.
Run a Connection Test
Trigger a test run inside Konnectify to verify that GoCardless successfully records the mandate or registers the payment parameter without error.
Activate Workflow
Toggle your automated workflow to "Active" to begin running live, hands-free direct debit configurations.
Triggers 0
This integration currently operates as an action-focused connector. While there are no direct GoCardless triggers in this version, you can execute GoCardless actions using triggers from any other app in your Konnectify account (such as CRMs, accounting tools, or webforms) to initiate payments and mandates.
Actions 4
Execute billing processes automatically in GoCardless whenever triggered by changes in external software applications.
