Recurring payments made easy

Debit and credit cards expire regularly or are lost and replaced, causing recurring payments to fail. Worse still, card transaction fees can be expensive. Bank debit doesn’t have these pitfalls. Bank debit is a good alternative to card payments, especially for recurring payments.

But setting up bank payments online has not been straight forward, especially if you don’t know the amount to be taken in advance. That’s why we introduced WPdirectdebit for WordPress websites. It works with Gravity Forms to make it easy for the customer to enter all the information you require. The form can total up the amount, accept quantities, offer a choice of payment intervals and much more. WPdirectdebit can even handle one-off payments, making it the one-stop solution for many merchants who use WordPress.

Take payments and create recurring payments directly from your own site.

How it works

You create your purchase form using Gravity Forms.

It can be complex, with multiple products, shipping charges, multiple addresses, discounts and coupons, etc.

Or it could be as simple as a ‘Buy now’ button.

Then you map the fields on the form to their payment functions via a WPdirectdebit form feed. It’s easy, only takes a moment and there’s no coding needed.

Finally, you compose your notification emails to keep the customer and everyone who needs to know, fully informed.

When the customer submits the purchase form, WPdirectdebit passes the mapped information over to GoCardless, and Gravity Forms sends your notifications.

WPdirectdebit can even create customer accounts, giving you the basis of a membership system and making subsequent purchases simpler.

You might find you no longer need credit card or PayPal integrations and the complexity that goes with them.
