For recurring payments, Direct Debit is an excellent alternative to unreliable and expensive card payments. With WPdirectdebit, customers can set up their recurring payments by completing a form on your website, overcoming the shortfalls of fixed payment links. WPdirectdebit will even build the form for you. And, as WPdirectdebit runs on Gravity Forms, you can benefit from the availability of a vast range of Gravity Forms extensions, bringing true power and flexibility to your website.

Accepting membership applications? Combine a joining fee with a regular payment, all on the same form.  Offer a choice of payment amounts, intervals, free trials, joining fees and keep everyone in the picture via tailored automated emails. WPdirectdebit uses Gravity Forms to free you from the limitations of fixed payment links.

If you accept payments from customers in the UK, Germany or Australia, WPdirectdebit offers one-off payments via GoCardless Instant Bank Pay (UK, Germany) and PayTo (Australia). The customer uses their banking app or online banking account to verify the payment and the money is transferred to you almost straight away. One-off payments via Bank Debit is available for customers outside these countries.

Start here with with the main news at a glance. Then dig deeper.

Running a fundraising page or managing club or society subscriptions means you’re juggling enough already. The WPdirectdebit dashboard does the bookkeeping legwork for you: track collected income for the month, spot failed payments before they become a problem, and see at a glance how many supporters or members are actively paying in.

Behind the scenes, it’s all powered by a secure, direct connection to GoCardless — so every payout, every sign-up, every cancelled subscription is shown to you in real time, with no manual reconciliation required.

The WPdirectdebit dashboard is your launching off point to all of your payments data in even more detail.

No spreadsheets. No reconciliation. Just your people, accounted for.

For a treasurer or membership secretary, this is the bit that used to mean hours of admin. No more hunting through email threads or separate spreadsheets to work out who’s paying what. Every customer who’s set up a Direct Debit is automatically captured here — name, contact details, mandate status and sign-up date, all in one searchable list. Then click the customer name to pull up their complete customer record.

Filter by mandate status to see who’s actively contributing and who needs a nudge — handy when a member’s bank details have changed or a regular giver’s mandate has lapsed. Search instantly to pull up a single record, and export the full list whenever you need it for committee meetings, AGMs, or your own records.

Know exactly when the money lands — and how much you’re bringing in.

For anyone who has to answer to a treasurer, a committee, or an auditor, this is the record that makes those conversations easy. Transparent, timestamped, and always up to date. Every payout from GoCardless into your bank account is logged here automatically, with the arrival date, the amount, and any fees deducted shown side by side.

Filter by date range or status to reconcile a specific period in seconds — perfect for closing out the books at month-end or pulling together figures for a trustees’ meeting. Export the full breakdown whenever your accounts need it, with every reference number ready to match against your bank feed.

Every payment, every customer, one clear view.

See exactly who’s paid, how much, and what for — whether it’s a one-off donation, a monthly membership fee, an annual service fee… Each row tells you the customer, the description, the amount, and its status, so there’s never any doubt about who owes what.

Search by name, filter by date range or status, and find any payment in seconds — no more scrolling back through bank statements to work out which member’s payment bounced last month. And when something does need correcting, a refund is one click away*, right from the same screen.

This is the view that turns “I think everyone’s paid” into “I know everyone’s paid.” Whether you’re managing fifty members or five thousand donors, you get the same clarity: a single, searchable record of every transaction your organisation has collected.

*WPdirectdebit can only refund payments created by it.

Subscriptions and memberships, fully under your control.

This is where your ongoing income lives — every recurring subscription, club membership, or regular giving plan, with its amount, frequency, and status laid out clearly. Search for a member by name, filter by status or frequency, and you’ll find what you need in seconds.

Life happens — a member wants to pause over the summer, a donor needs to update their giving amount, someone’s moving on entirely. Pause, cancel, or edit any* recurring payment with a single click. Need to update several at once? Bulk edit handles that too.

For anyone managing subscriptions or membership renewals, this replaces the awkward conversations and manual adjustments with a few clicks. Your supporters get flexibility; you get a system that never loses track of who’s signed up for what.

*WPdirectdebit can only amend subscriptions created by it.

Set up a new subscription in minutes — no developer required.

Whether you’re launching a membership scheme, a monthly giving plan, or a magazine subscription, the form builder walks you through it step by step. Give it a name, pick your currency, and decide whether the amount is fixed or flexible — perfect if you want supporters to choose their own monthly giving level.

Set how often payments are taken, and decide whether it runs indefinitely or for a fixed number of payments, such as a 12-month membership term. Choose the day of the month it collects on, capture customer details, Gift Aid declaration, T’s & C’s acceptance… all you do is check a box or two, and you’re done. WPdirectdebit even drafts your notification emails for you.

Once saved, this becomes a ready-to-use form you can drop straight onto your website. Build it once, embed it anywhere, and let it run.

If you’re signing up lots of new customers every day, how do you know they are who they say they are without adding unnecessary friction to the checkout experience?

WPdirectdebit supports GoCardless Verified Mandates. Powered by Open Banking, customers will be connected to their mobile app or online banking login where they can instantly authenticate their bank details when they approve the payment.
