Overview
This is the documentation for the GoCardless API.
If you’re just exploring or want to start building an integration, check out our getting started guide for a step-by-step introduction with PHP, .NET, Java, Ruby and Python code samples
For testing purposes we recommend you sign up for a sandbox account.
Supported Direct Debit Schemes
The GoCardless API currently supports the following Direct Debit schemes:
Scheme | Countries |
---|---|
Bacs | UK & Channel Islands (inc. Jersey & Guernsey) + Isle of Man + Gibraltar (The customer needs to select UK as the country) |
SEPA Core* | Åland Islands Austria Belgium Cyprus Estonia Finland France French Guiana Germany Greece Guadeloupe Ireland Italy Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Martinique Mayotte Monaco Netherlands Portugal Réunion San Marino Slovakia Slovenia Spain Saint Barthélemy Saint Martin Saint Pierre and Miquelon |
ACH | United States |
Autogiro | Sweden |
Betalingsservice | Denmark |
BECS | Australia |
BECS NZ | New Zealand |
PAD | Canada |
PayTo** | Australia |
Faster Payments*** | UK & Channel Islands (inc. Jersey & Guernsey) + Isle of Man + Gibraltar (The customer needs to select UK as the country) |
Note: There are practical issues with SEPA Direct Debit in some countries that mean we would not recommend using it to collect payments from end customers in those markets. Local implementation can cause problems in the Baltic states in particular - please contact us for more information.
* Collection from all non-Eurozone SEPA countries is also supported through the API, but since only a small percentage of bank accounts in these countries are reachable they have not been listed above.
** PayTo although not technically a Direct Debit scheme can be used as an alternative to BECS.
*** Faster Payments is not a Direct Debit scheme, but an alternative to BACS that can be used for instant and variable recurring payments.
Getting Started
There are three key parts to an integration with the API - you can do one, two or all three of them:
- Setting up mandates with your customers’ bank accounts
- Collecting payments against your mandates
- Staying up-to-date with webhooks
To get started with the API, check out our “getting started” guide, with copy and paste code samples in PHP, Ruby and Python guiding you through your integration from start to finish.
Restrictions
Whilst the entire GoCardless API is accessible in the sandbox environment, the following restrictions exist in live.
Payment page restrictions
Unless your payment pages have been approved as scheme rules compliant by our sponsor bank you must use the Billing Requests API to create customers, bank accounts and mandates.
The following endpoints are therefore restricted:
- Billing Requests: Create_customer_details, Collect_bank_account
- Customers: Create
- Customer bank accounts: Create
- Mandate: Create, Reinstate
- Javascript flow: All endpoints
Please get in touch to discuss having your payment pages approved.
Creditor management restrictions
Unless your account has previously been approved as a whitelabel partner you may only collect payments on behalf of a single creditor. The following endpoints are therefore restricted:
- Creditors: Create
Anatomy
The following state diagrams explain the flows of mandate setup to setup customers on a Direct Debit and payment creation, to collect payment against said mandate. There’s also a short section on how timings work.
Mandate setup
Payment creation
How timings work
Direct debit payments don’t process instantly, and work differently to card payments.
For the UK:
- If a Direct Debit mandate is already in place, payment is collected 2 working days after submission, can be considered 95% confirmed 3 working days after submission, and 100% confirmed after 4 working days.
- If a Direct Debit mandate needs to be created, payment is collected 4 working days after submission, can be considered 95% confirmed 5 working days after submission, and 100% confirmed after 6 working days.
There’s also a requirement to notify your customers 3 working days before payment leaves their account. See the notifications section for more detail.
For more information on UK timings, see our detailed guide.
For ACH:
- New mandates take up to 2 interbank business days before payments can be submitted under them.
- For all payment collections, you must submit the collection to the banks 2 interbank business days before the payment due date.
You will need to notify your customers at least 2 working days in advance of the payment being collected.
For more information on ACH timings, see our detailed guide.
For Autogiro:
- New mandates take up to 6 interbank business days before payments can be submitted under them.
- For all payment collections, you must submit the collection to the banks 2 interbank business days before the payment due date.
You will need to notify your customers at least 8 working days in advance of the payment being collected.
For more information on Autogiro timings, see our detailed guide.
For BECS:
- For all payment collections, you must submit the collection to the banks 1 interbank business day before the payment due date.
For more information on BECS timings, see our detailed guide.
For BECS NZ:
- For all payment collections, you must submit the collection to the banks 2 interbank business days before the payment due date.
For more information on BECS NZ timings, see our detailed guide.
For Betalingsservice:
- New mandates must be created at least one working day before payments can be created.
- For all payment collections, you must submit the collection 8 working days before the end of the month preceding the month in which you wish to take the payment
For more information on Betalingsservice timings, see our detailed guide.
For PAD:
- For all payment collections, you must submit the collection to the banks 3 interbank business days before the payment due date.
For more information on PAD timings, see our detailed guide.
For PayTo:
- There is no advance notice period and payments can be taken almost instantaneously.
For Faster Payments:
- There is no advance notice period and payments can be taken almost instantaneously.
For SEPA Core:
- For all payment collections, you must submit the collection to the banks 3 interbank business days before the payment due date.
You will need to notify your customers 3 working days in advance of the payment being collected.
For more information on SEPA timings, see our detailed guide.
In all cases, you can still test these as if they were instant - for more detail, see the section on testing your integration.
Backwards Compatibility
The following changes are considered backwards compatible:
- Adding new API endpoints
- Adding new properties to the responses from existing API endpoints
- Reordering properties returned from existing API endpoints
- Adding optional request parameters to existing API endpoints
- Altering the format or length of IDs
- These strings will never exceed 255 characters, but you should be able to handle anything up to that length
- Altering the
message
attributes returned by validation failures / other errors - The number of and duration between retries for failed webhooks
- The behaviour of Scenario Simulators
- Sending webhooks for new event types

Currently we have the following libraries available:
- GoCardless Pro Ruby
- GoCardless Pro Python
- GoCardless Pro Java
- GoCardless Pro PHP
- GoCardless .NET
- GoCardless Node.js
- GoCardless Pro Go
- GoCardless Pro Android
- GoCardless Pro iOS
If there’s a another language you’d like a library for, please get in touch to let us know.
Making Requests
Base URLs
The base URLs for the GoCardless API are
- https://api.gocardless.com/
for live
- https://api-sandbox.gocardless.com/
for sandbox
The API is only available over HTTPS. Attempting to access the API over an
unsecured HTTP connection will return a tls_required
error.
Authentication
After creating an access token in the dashboard, you must provide it in an Authorization request header (using the bearer authentication scheme) when making API requests.
Authorization: Bearer TOP_SECRET_ACCESS_TOKEN
If you’re using our JavaScript Flow, you must use a publishable access token instead.
Versions
Every request must specify a GoCardless-Version
header, with a released
API version.
GoCardless-Version: 2015-07-06
Currently available versions:
2015-07-06
- Removed helper endpoint (replaced with new individual endpoints).
Historic versions which are no longer available:
2015-04-29
- Changed auth and removed sort_code.
2014-11-03
- Changed validations on charge_customer_at.
2014-10-03
- Enforced validation of keys passed to all endpoints.
2014-09-01
- First Pro API release.
MIME Types
All requests and responses are JSON-formatted and UTF-8 encoded.
An Accept
header is required for all requests, for example:
Accept: application/json
A Content-Type
and Content-Length
header must be given when sending data to the API
(using POST
and PUT
endpoints), for example:
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 3495
For the Accept
and Content-Type
headers, you may
give either the standard JSON MIME type (application/json
), or the JSON-API
variant (application/vnd.api+json
).
You will receive an invalid_content_type
error if you attempt to make a POST
/PUT
request without one of these MIME types.
In the case of a missing Content-Length
header,
you will receive an Error 411 (Length Required)
error message. Although, the majority
of HTTP clients should send the header by default.
PUT, PATCH and DELETE
If your HTTP client or proxy doesn’t support PUT
or DELETE
, you
can instead make a POST
request with the header X-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT
or X-HTTP-Method-Override: DELETE
.
The HTTP PATCH
verb is not allowed by the API, and will result in a
method_not_allowed
error. Please use PUT
to alter an existing resource.
Rate Limiting
We apply a rate limit to all API requests, to prevent excessive numbers of simultaneous requests from an individual integrator degrading the API experience for others.
Currently, this limit stands at 1000 requests per minute. If you are making requests from
a partner integration (on behalf of a merchant), the rate limit is 1000 requests per
minute per merchant. The limit can always be found in the response header
ratelimit-limit
.
If your API call returns a 429
status code with a rate_limit_exceeded
error, you have
exceeded this limit. These requests can be safely retried. We supply information in the
ratelimit-remaining
and ratelimit-reset
headers, which indicate how many requests are
allowed in the current time window, and the time after which the rate limit will reset,
respectively.
For example, reading response headers like these, your integration is permitted to make a
further 163
requests until Thu, 03 May 2018 16:00:00 GMT
, after which the limit will
reset back to 1000
for the next time window:
ratelimit-limit: 1000
ratelimit-remaining: 163
ratelimit-reset: Thu, 03 May 2018 16:00:00 GMT
If you are planning to make a large number of requests to our API, our rate limit should be regarded as a performance target: if you can successfully hit 1000 requests/minute, your task will be completed in the shortest possible time.
Timeouts
Some timeouts affect HTTP requests and connections to the API.
- Request Timeout - we have a request timeout of 29 seconds. A single request cannot last more than this amount of time.
- Keepalive Timeout - we have a keepalive timeout (also known as an idle timeout) of 10 minutes on persistent HTTP connections. If a connection has been open with no request for that time period, the connection will be closed.
Idempotency Keys
Some requests are dangerous to make twice. In a situation like submitting payments, retrying a request that appeared to fail (for example due to a network timeout) could lead to a payment being taken twice. This is clearly undesirable.
When creating resources, our API supports idempotent creation. If you make a request
with an Idempotency-Key
header, we only allow that key to be used for a single
successful request. Any requests to create a resource with a key that has previously been
used will not succeed, and will respond with a 409
idempotent_creation_conflict
error, with the error including a links.conflicting_resource_id
attribute pointing
to the already-existing resource.
Our API libraries will automatically generate idempotency keys when you try to create a resource. However, you might want to generate and supply your own - for example, using an ID from your database to identify a record (for example a payment you’re going to collect) will protect against not only network errors, but also accidentally doing the same thing twice from your side.
Idempotency keys may be no longer than 128 characters.
Idempotency keys are intended to prevent conflicts over short periods of time, and will not be persisted indefinitely. We guarantee that we will honour idempotency keys for at least 30 days. After this point we reserve the right to respect the keys for any further length of time and this behaviour must not be relied upon. We strongly encourage generating idempotency keys using UUIDv4 but any non-repeating unique identifier is sufficient.
Optional properties
When making requests, optional properties should be completely omitted from the JSON when not being used. This is automatically handled in our API libraries and is only relevant if you create your own.
Dates and Times
All timestamps are formatted as ISO8601 with timezone information. For API calls
that allow for a timestamp to be specified, we use that exact timestamp. These
timestamps look something like 2014-02-27T15:05:06.123Z
.
For endpoints that require dates, we expect a date string of the format YYYY-MM-DD
,
where an example would look like 2014-02-27
.
Cursor Pagination
All list/index endpoints are ordered and paginated reverse chronologically by default.
Options
The following options are available on all cursor-paginated endpoints:
before
- ID of the object immediately following the array of objects to be returned.
after
- ID of the object immediately preceding the array of objects to be returned.
limit
- Upper bound for the number of objects to be returned. Defaults to 50. Maximum of 500. Minimum of 1.
Response
Paginated results are always returned in an array, and include the following meta data:
before
- The ID of the first resource that has been returned.
after
- The ID of the last resource that has been returned.
limit
- The upper bound placed on the number of objects returned. If there were not enough remaining objects in the list of data then fewer than this number will have been returned.
GET https://api.gocardless.com/resources?after=ID789 HTTP/1.1
HTTP/1.1 200 (OK)
Content-Type: application/json
{
"meta": {
"cursors": {
"after": "ID456",
"before": "ID123"
},
"limit": 50
},
"resources": [{
...
}]
}
Response Codes
You may encounter the following response codes. Any unsuccessful response codes will contain more information to help you identify the cause of the problem.
200
- OK. The request has succeeded.
201
- Created. The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created. The newly created resource can be referenced by the URI(s) returned in the entity of the response, with the most specific URI for the resource given by a
Location
header field. 204
- No Content. The request was successful but no body was returned.
400
- Bad Request. The request could not be understood by the server, usually due to malformed syntax. The response body will contain more details in the form of an array.

Scenario Simulators
When you’re building an integration with the API, there are some common paths you should make sure your integration handles successfully.
In the sandbox environment, we provide scenario simulators which allow you to manually trigger certain cases (like a customer cancelling their mandate or a payment failing due to lack of funds) from the Dashboard so you can test how your integration responds.
To find out more, see our scenario simulators guide.
Errors
Every error includes a type
, the HTTP status code
, a short message
, a
documentation_url
, linking to the relevant section of this document, and a
unique request_id
which can be used to help the GoCardless support team
find your error quickly.
There is also an errors
key which is an array listing any errors that have
been raised in one of two formats.
When the type
is validation_failed
, each error will be composed of a field
and a message
describing what is wrong with that field.
For all other errors, the structure will contain a reason
and a message
describing what the problem encountered.
There are 4 types of errors, depending on the root cause. These are:
Error types
gocardless
- This is an error that has occured within GoCardless while processing your requests. In some cases, depending on the specific issue highlighted in
errors
, the request should be retried. If the problem persists, it should be reported to our support team with therequest_id
, so we can resolve the issue. invalid_
api_ usage - This is an error with the request you made. It could be an invalid URL, the authentication header could be missing, invalid, or grant insufficient permissions, you may have reached your rate limit, or the syntax of your request could be incorrect. The
errors
will give more detail of the specific issue. invalid_
state - The action you are trying to perform is invalid due to the state of the resource you are requesting it on. For example, a payment you are trying to cancel might already have been submitted. The
errors
will give more details.
validation_
failed - The parameters submitted with your request were invalid. Details of which fields were invalid and why are included in the response. The
request_pointer
parameter indicates the exact field of the request that triggered the validation error.
These four types should be handled very differently: gocardless
errors should send an alert to your dev team, or directly to GoCardless support; invalid_api_usage
should send an alert to your dev team; invalid_state
should alert the end user and not allow them to retry; validation_failed
should alert the end user and prompt them to correct their input.
GoCardless errors
internal_
server_ error - An internal error occurred while processing your request. This should be reported to our support team with the
request_id
, so we can resolve the issue.
request_
timed_ out - The request did not complete within a reasonable time. In this case, the request should be retried (possibly with different parameters). If the problem persists, it should be reported to our support team with the
request_id
, so we can resolve the issue.
query_
timed_ out - The query for this request did not complete within a reasonable time, potentially due to being too complex. In this case, the request should be retried (possibly with different parameters). If the problem persists, it should be reported to our support team with the
request_id
, so we can resolve the issue.
Invalid API usage errors
invalid_
type - The
errors
key may also hold an array of type errors if the JSON you sent was incorrectly typed. These are in the same format as validation errors (with amessage
andfield
per error). A type error will also be returned if you include any additional, unknown parameters.
path_
not_ found - The path was not recognised. Check that you spelled the resource name correctly, and that the URL is formatted correctly.
resource_
not_ found - The ID in the request was not found in our database.
link_
not_ found - One of the
link[resource]
IDs in the request was not found. Your integration should ensure that end users can only use existing resources.
unauthorized
- Your username/password was not recognised.
forbidden
- You were authenticated, but you do not have permission to access that resource.
feature_
disabled - You are trying to use a feature which hasn’t been enabled on your account. Please contact support if you would like to enable it.
not_
acceptable - The content type specified in your
Accept
header was not acceptable to this endpoint.
request_
entity_ too_ large - The body of your request is too large.
unsupported_
media_ type - The API communicates using JSON only. Make sure that your
Accept
header permits JSON, and yourContent-Type
header is supported, if you are sending JSON data (e.g. with aPOST
orPUT
request).
rate_
limit_ exceeded - You have exceeded the rate limit. See the included headers for when your rate limit will be reset.
access_
token_ not_ found - No access token with the ID specified was found.
access_
token_ not_ active - The access token you are using has been disabled.
access_
token_ revoked - The access token you are using has been revoked by the user.
missing_
authorization_ header - No
Authorization
header was included in your request. See making requests for details on how to structure your authorisation header.
invalid_
authorization_ header - The
Authorization
header sent was not valid. Make sure it was constructed as described in making requests.
insufficient_
permissions - The access token you are using does not have the right scope to perform the requested action.
method_
not_ allowed - The HTTP verb used is not permitted. Note that we do not allow
PATCH
requests, andPUT
must be used to update resources.
bad_
request - The request syntax was incorrect.
idempotency_
key_ too_ long - An idempotency key was supplied for this request but exceeded the max length of this key. See idempotency keys for details on how to work with idempotency.
invalid_
document_ structure - The JSON sent to the server was not in the correct structure. Note that JSON parameters may not be sent at the top level, but must be sent under the name of the resource. See the examples for details on how this is done for each endpoint.
invalid_
content_ type - When including a JSON body with a request you must also include a
Content-Type
header, set toapplication/json
orapplication/vnd.api+json
.
tls_
required - The GoCardless API can only be accessed over TLS/SSL. Make sure you are sending requests to urls starting with
https://
, nothttp://
.
missing_
version_ header - No
GoCardless-Version
header was included in your request. See making requests for details on how to set your version header.
version_
not_ found - The
GoCardless-Version
specified was not found. The version must be one of those listed in the changelog.
invalid_
filters - The combination of filters specified in the query string of your request are not allowed. Only certain combinations of filters may be applied to each list endpoint, as documented on each endpoint.
request_
body_ not_ allowed - Sending a request body is not supported for the HTTP method you have used. Use query string parameters in the URL instead.
customer_
data_ removed - The customer has been removed and they can no longer be returned by our API. You should remove any GoCardless references to these objects in your systems.
payout_
items_ data_ archived - Payout items for payouts created more than 6 months ago have been archived. Please contact support if you require access to this data.
Invalid state errors
cancellation_
failed - The mandate, payment or subscription was not in a cancellable state. It might have already been cancelled, failed, or it might be too late in the submission process to cancel. For example, payments cannot be cancelled once they are submitted to the banks.
retry_
failed - The payment could not be retried.
disable_
failed - The customer or creditor bank account could not be disabled, as it is already disabled.
mandate_
is_ inactive - The payment could not be created, because the mandate linked is cancelled, failed, or expired.
mandate_
replaced - The resource could not be created, because the mandate it links to has been replaced (for example, because the creditor has moved to a new Service User Number). The new mandate can be found through the reference to
links[new_mandate]
in the error response, or by retrieving the original mandate and checkinglinks[new_mandate]
.
bank_
account_ disabled - The mandate could not be created because the customer bank account linked is disabled.
mandate_
not_ inactive - The mandate could not be reinstated, because it is already being submitted, or is active.
refund_
is_ unreachable - The refund could not be created, because it would not reach the target bank account.
refund_
payment_ invalid_ state - The refund could not be created, because the payment specified is not
confirmed
orpaid_out
.
total_
amount_ confirmation_ invalid - The refund could not be created because the total amount refunded does not match.
number_
of_ refunds_ exceeded - The refund could not be created because five refunds have already been created for the given payment.
idempotent_
creation_ conflict - The resource has not been created as a resource has already been created with the supplied idempotency key. See idempotency keys for details.
customer_
bank_ account_ token_ used - The customer bank account could not be created because the token given has already been used.
billing_
request_ must_ be_ ready_ to_ fulfil -
The billing request must have no outstanding required actions. To check the actions please view the actions array in the billing request get response.
Validation errors
The errors
key may also hold an array of individual validation failures in
this case, or one of the following errors.
bank_
account_ exists - The customer or creditor bank account you are trying to create already exists. These resources must be unique.
You should use the corresponding update endpoints to update the details on the existing bank account instead, which will be referenced aslinks[customer_bank_account]
orlinks[creditor_bank_account]
(as appropriate) in the error response.
available_
refund_ amount_ insufficient - The refund requested by the creditor could not be created for the given currency, because the creditor does not have a sufficient balance available to cover the cost of the refund.
The amount available for refunds will fluctuate over time, as it is calculated in real time using several indicators. Examples of such indicators are in-flight payments, pending refunds, and any applicable ‘buffer allowance’ provided by GoCardless for the creditor in the given currency. The amount available for refunds will be returned in themetadata
of the error response, under theavailable_refund_amount
key, in the lowest denomination for the currency (e.g. pence in GBP, cents in EUR).

Billing Requests
This section contains API endpoints that are used to power Billing Requests.
Billing Requests help create resources that require input or action from a customer. An example of required input might be additional customer billing details, while an action would be asking a customer to authorise a payment using their mobile banking app.
Billing Requests go through a simple lifecycle, with the state exposed as the
status
field:
-
pending
, actions need completing before we can fulfil -
ready_to_fulfil
, all required actions are complete and the integrator may fulfil this request -
fulfilled
, the request is fulfilled and an resource has been created -
cancelled
, request was cancelled before it can be completed (no resource will ever be created)
Integrators have a choice between building their own user experience flows to complete the required actions, or creating a Billing Request Flow against the Billing Request. Billing Request Flows are a GoCardless managed flow that knows how to process outstanding actions on the Request, helping the customer provide their required details and fulfil the request.
We advise most integrators make use of Billing Request Flows to benefit from the efforts GoCardless put into optimising conversion, adapting to a changing regulatory environment, and to reduce integration effort.
Even for integrators who want a whitelabel experience, we might advise completing some actions through a customer integration and leveraging the Billing Request Flow to complete the more complex actions.
Bank Authorisations
Bank Authorisations can be used to authorise Billing Requests. Authorisations are created against a specific bank, usually the bank that provides the payer’s account.
Creation of Bank Authorisations is only permitted from GoCardless hosted UIs (see Billing Request Flows) to ensure we meet regulatory requirements for checkout flows.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “BAU”.
authorisation_
type - Type of authorisation, can be either ‘mandate’ or ‘payment’.
authorised_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when the user has been authorised.
created_
at - Timestamp when the flow was created
expires_
at - Timestamp when the url will expire. Each authorisation url currently lasts for 15 minutes, but this can vary by bank.
last_
visited_ at - Fixed timestamp, recording when the authorisation URL has been visited.
qr_
code_ url - URL to a QR code PNG image of the bank authorisation url.
This QR code can be used as an alternative to providing the
url
to the payer to allow them to authorise with their mobile devices. redirect_
uri - URL that the payer can be redirected to after authorising the payment.
On completion of bank authorisation, the query parameter of either
outcome=success
oroutcome=failure
will be appended to theredirect_uri
to indicate the result of the bank authorisation. If the bank authorisation is expired, the query parameteroutcome=timeout
will be appended to theredirect_uri
, in which case you should prompt the user to try the bank authorisation step again.The
redirect_uri
you provide should handle theoutcome
query parameter for displaying the result of the bank authorisation as outlined above.The BillingRequestFlow ID will also be appended to the
redirect_uri
as query parameterid=BRF123
.Defaults to
https://pay.gocardless.com/billing/static/thankyou
. url
- URL for an oauth flow that will allow the user to authorise the payment
links
[billing_ request] - ID of the billing request against which this authorisation was created.
links
[institution] - ID of the institution against which this authorisation was created.
Create a Bank Authorisation
Create a Bank Authorisation.
Relative endpoint: POST /bank_authorisations
Restricted: this endpoint is restricted as the authorisation must be used within a
checkout flow that meets regulatory requirements for each payment
scheme. Integrators should use a Billing Request Flow to do this.
If you would like to enable bank authorisations, you will need to go through a separate compliance process.
For more details please get in touch.
Parameters
redirect_
uri - URL that the payer can be redirected to after authorising the payment.
On completion of bank authorisation, the query parameter of either
outcome=success
oroutcome=failure
will be appended to theredirect_uri
to indicate the result of the bank authorisation. If the bank authorisation is expired, the query parameteroutcome=timeout
will be appended to theredirect_uri
, in which case you should prompt the user to try the bank authorisation step again.The
redirect_uri
you provide should handle theoutcome
query parameter for displaying the result of the bank authorisation as outlined above.The BillingRequestFlow ID will also be appended to the
redirect_uri
as query parameterid=BRF123
.Defaults to

Billing Requests
Billing Requests help create resources that require input or action from a customer. An example of required input might be additional customer billing details, while an action would be asking a customer to authorise a payment using their mobile banking app.
See Billing Requests: Overview for how-to’s, explanations and tutorials.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “BRQ”.
actions
- List of actions that can be performed before this billing request can be fulfilled.
Each instance will contain these properties:
-
available_currencies
: List of currencies the current mandate supports -
bank_authorisation
: Describes the behaviour of bank authorisations, for the bank_authorisation action -
collect_customer_details
: Additional parameters to help complete the collect_customer_details action -
completes_actions
: Which other action types this action can complete. -
institution_guess_status
: Describes whether we inferred the institution from the provided bank account details. One of:-
not_needed
: we won’t attempt to infer the institution as it is not needed. Either because it was manually selected or the billing request does not support this feature -
pending
: we are waiting on the bank details in order to infer the institution -
failed
: we weren’t able to infer the institution -
success
: we inferred the institution and added it to the resources of a Billing Request
-
-
required
: Informs you whether the action is required to fulfil the billing request or not. -
requires_actions
: Requires completing these actions before this action can be completed. -
status
: Status of the action -
type
: Unique identifier for the action.
-
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
fallback_
enabled - (Optional) If true, this billing request can fallback from instant payment to direct debit.
Should not be set if GoCardless payment intelligence feature is used.
See Billing Requests: Retain customers with Fallbacks for more information.
fallback_
occurred - True if the billing request was completed with direct debit.
mandate_
request [authorisation_ source] - This field is ACH specific, sometimes referred to as SEC code.
This is the way that the payer gives authorisation to the merchant. web: Authorisation is Internet Initiated or via Mobile Entry (maps to SEC code: WEB) telephone: Authorisation is provided orally over telephone (maps to SEC code: TEL) paper: Authorisation is provided in writing and signed, or similarly authenticated (maps to SEC code: PPD)
mandate_
request [consent_ type] - This attribute represents the authorisation type between the payer and merchant. It can be set to one-off, recurring or standing for ACH scheme. And single, recurring and sporadic for PAD scheme.
constraints
[end_ date] - The latest date at which payments can be taken, must occur after start_date if present

Collect bank account details
If the billing request has a pending
collect_bank_account
action, this endpoint can be
used to collect the details in order to complete it.
The endpoint takes the same payload as Customer Bank Accounts, but check the bank account is valid for the billing request scheme before creating and attaching it.
If the scheme is PayTo and the pay_id is available, this can be included in the payload along with the country_code.
ACH scheme For compliance reasons, an extra validation step is done using a third-party provider to make sure the customer’s bank account can accept Direct Debit. If a bank account is discovered to be closed or invalid, the customer is requested to adjust the account number/routing number and succeed in this check to continue with the flow.
BACS scheme Payer Name Verification is enabled by default for UK based bank accounts, meaning we verify the account holder name and bank account number match the details held by the relevant bank.
Relative endpoint: POST /billing_requests/BRQ123/actions/collect_bank_account
Restricted: this endpoint is restricted to GoCardless Pro and GoCardless Enterprise accounts with the custom payment pages upgrade.

Billing Request Flows
Billing Request Flows can be created to enable a payer to authorise a payment created for a scheme with strong payer authorisation (such as open banking single payments).
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “BRF”.
authorisation_
url - URL for a GC-controlled flow which will allow the payer to fulfil the billing request
auto_
fulfil - (Experimental feature) Fulfil the Billing Request on completion of the flow (true by default). Disabling the auto_fulfil is not allowed currently.
created_
at - Timestamp when the flow was created
customer_
details_ captured - Identifies whether a Billing Request belongs to a specific customer
exit_
uri - URL that the payer can be taken to if there isn’t a way to progress ahead in flow.
expires_
at - Timestamp when the flow will expire. Each flow currently lasts for 7 days.
language
- Sets the default language of the Billing Request Flow and the customer. ISO 639-1 code.
lock_
bank_ account - If true, the payer will not be able to change their bank account within the flow. If the bank_account details are collected as part of bank_authorisation then GC will set this value to true mid flow.
You can only lock bank account if these have already been completed as a part of the billing request.
lock_
currency - If true, the payer will not be able to change their currency/scheme manually within the flow. Note that this only applies to the mandate only flows - currency/scheme can never be changed when there is a specified subscription or payment.
lock_
customer_ details - If true, the payer will not be able to edit their customer details within the flow. If the customer details are collected as part of bank_authorisation then GC will set this value to true mid flow.
You can only lock customer details if these have already been completed as a part of the billing request.
prefilled_
bank_ account [account_ type] - Bank account type for USD-denominated bank accounts. Must not be provided for bank accounts in other currencies. See local details for more information.
prefilled_
customer [address_ line1] - The first line of the customer’s address.
prefilled_
customer [address_ line2] - The second line of the customer’s address.
prefilled_
customer [address_ line3] - The third line of the customer’s address.
prefilled_
customer [city] - The city of the customer’s address.
prefilled_
customer [company_ name] - Customer’s company name. Company name should only be provided if
given_name
andfamily_name
are null. prefilled_
customer [country_ code] - ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.
prefilled_
customer [danish_ identity_ number] - For Danish customers only. The civic/company number (CPR or CVR) of the customer.
prefilled_
customer [email] - Customer’s email address.
prefilled_
customer [family_ name] - Customer’s surname.
prefilled_
customer [given_ name] - Customer’s first name.

customer [region] - The customer’s address region, county or department.
prefilled_
customer [swedish_ identity_ number] - For Swedish customers only. The civic/company number (personnummer, samordningsnummer, or organisationsnummer) of the customer.
redirect_
uri - URL that the payer can be redirected to after completing the request flow.
session_
token - Session token populated when responding to the initialise action
show_
redirect_ buttons - If true, the payer will be able to see redirect action buttons on Thank You page. These action buttons will provide a way to connect back to the billing request flow app if opened within a mobile app. For successful flow, the button will take the payer back the billing request flow where they will see the success screen. For failure, button will take the payer to url being provided against exit_uri field.
show_
success_ redirect_ button - If true, the payer will be able to see a redirect action button on the Success page. This action button will provide a way to redirect the payer to the given redirect_uri. This functionality is helpful when merchants do not want payers to be automatically redirected or on Android devices, where automatic redirections are not possible.
skip_
success_ screen - If true, the payer will not be redirected to the success screen after completing the flow. A redirect_uri needs to be provided for this parameter to be taken into account.
links
[billing_ request] - ID of the billing request against which this flow was created.
Create a Billing Request Flow
Creates a new billing request flow.
Relative endpoint: POST /billing_request_flows
Parameters
auto_
fulfil - (Experimental feature) Fulfil the Billing Request on completion of the flow (true by default). Disabling the auto_fulfil is not allowed currently.

lock_
customer_ details - If true, the payer will not be able to edit their customer details within the flow. If the customer details are collected as part of bank_authorisation then GC will set this value to true mid flow.
You can only lock customer details if these have already been completed as a part of the billing request.

Billing Request Templates
Billing Request Templates are reusable templates that result in numerous Billing Requests with similar attributes. They provide a no-code solution for generating various types of multi-user payment links.
Each template includes a reusable URL that can be embedded in a website or shared with customers via email. Every time the URL is opened, it generates a new Billing Request.
Billing Request Templates overcome the key limitation of the Billing Request: a Billing Request cannot be shared among multiple users because it is intended for single-use and is designed to cater to the unique needs of individual customers.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “BRT”.
authorisation_
url - Permanent URL that customers can visit to allow them to complete a flow based on this template, before being returned to the
redirect_uri
. created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
mandate_
request_ currency - ISO 4217 currency code.
mandate_
request_ description - A human-readable description of the payment and/or mandate. This will be displayed to the payer when authorising the billing request.
mandate_
request_ metadata - Key-value store of custom data that will be applied to the mandate created when this request is fulfilled. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters.
mandate_
request_ scheme - A bank payment scheme. Currently “ach”, “autogiro”, “bacs”, “becs”, “becs_nz”, “betalingsservice”, “faster_payments”, “pad”, “pay_to” and “sepa_core” are supported. Optional for mandate only requests - if left blank, the payer will be able to select the currency/scheme to pay with from a list of your available schemes.
mandate_
request_ verify - Verification preference for the mandate. One of:
-
minimum
: only verify if absolutely required, such as when part of scheme rules -
recommended
: in addition tominimum
, use the GoCardless payment intelligence solution to decide if a payer should be verified -
when_available
: if verification mechanisms are available, use them -
always
: aswhen_available
, but fail to create the Billing Request if a mechanism isn’t available
-
By default, all Billing Requests use the recommended
verification preference. It uses GoCardless payment intelligence solution to determine if a payer is fraudulent or not. The verification mechanism is based on the response and the payer may be asked to verify themselves. If the feature is not available, recommended
behaves like minimum
.
If you never wish to take advantage of our reduced risk products and Verified Mandates as they are released in new schemes, please use the minimum
verification preference.
See Billing Requests: Creating Verified Mandates for more information.

Update a Billing Request Template
Updates a Billing Request Template, which will affect all future Billing Requests created by this template.
Relative endpoint: PUT /billing_request_templates/BRQ123
Parameters
mandate_
request_ currency - ISO 4217 currency code.
mandate_
request_ description - A human-readable description of the payment and/or mandate. This will be displayed to the payer when authorising the billing request.
mandate_
request_ metadata - Key-value store of custom data that will be applied to the mandate created when this request is fulfilled. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters.
mandate_
request_ scheme - A bank payment scheme. Currently “ach”, “autogiro”, “bacs”, “becs”, “becs_nz”, “betalingsservice”, “faster_payments”, “pad”, “pay_to” and “sepa_core” are supported. Optional for mandate only requests - if left blank, the payer will be able to select the currency/scheme to pay with from a list of your available schemes.
mandate_
request_ verify - Verification preference for the mandate. One of:
-
minimum
: only verify if absolutely required, such as when part of scheme rules -
recommended
: in addition tominimum
, use the GoCardless payment intelligence solution to decide if a payer should be verified -
when_available
: if verification mechanisms are available, use them -
always
: aswhen_available
, but fail to create the Billing Request if a mechanism isn’t available
-
By default, all Billing Requests use the recommended
verification preference. It uses GoCardless payment intelligence solution to determine if a payer is fraudulent or not. The verification mechanism is based on the response and the payer may be asked to verify themselves. If the feature is not available, recommended
behaves like minimum
.
If you never wish to take advantage of our reduced risk products and Verified Mandates as they are released in new schemes, please use the minimum
verification preference.
See Billing Requests: Creating Verified Mandates for more information.

Blocks
Blocks are created to prevent certain customer details from being used when creating mandates.
The details used to create blocks can be exact matches, like a bank account or an email, or a more generic match such as an email domain or bank name. Please be careful when creating blocks for more generic matches as this may block legitimate payers from using your service.
New block types may be added over time.
A block is in essence a simple rule that is used to match against details in a newly created mandate. If there is a successful match then the mandate is transitioned to a “blocked” state.
Please note:
- Payments and subscriptions cannot be created against a mandate in blocked state.
- A mandate can never be transitioned out of the blocked state.
The one exception to this is when blocking a ‘bank_name’. This block will prevent bank accounts from being created for banks that match the given name. To ensure we match bank names correctly an existing bank account must be used when creating this block. Please be aware that we cannot always match a bank account to a given bank name.
This API is currently only available for GoCardless Protect+ integrators - please get in touch if you would like to use this API.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “BLC”.
active
- Shows if the block is active or disabled. Only active blocks will be used when deciding if a mandate should be blocked.
block_
type - Type of entity we will seek to match against when blocking the mandate. This can currently be one of ‘email’, ‘email_domain’, ‘bank_account’, or ‘bank_name’.
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
reason_
description - This field is required if the reason_type is other. It should be a description of the reason for why you wish to block this payer and why it does not align with the given reason_types. This is intended to help us improve our knowledge of types of fraud.
reason_
type - The reason you wish to block this payer, can currently be one of ‘identity_fraud’, ‘no_intent_to_pay’, ‘unfair_chargeback’. If the reason isn’t captured by one of the above then ‘other’ can be selected but you must provide a reason description.
resource_
reference - This field is a reference to the value you wish to block. This may be the raw value (in the case of emails or email domains) or the ID of the resource (in the case of bank accounts and bank names). This means in order to block a specific bank account (even if you wish to block generically by name) it must already have been created as a resource.
updated_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was updated.
Create a block
Creates a new Block of a given type. By default it will be active.
Relative endpoint: POST /blocks
Note: Block will be enabled if you try to create a block that already exists and is disabled.
Parameters
active
- Shows if the block is active or disabled. Only active blocks will be used when deciding if a mandate should be blocked.
block_
type - Type of entity we will seek to match against when blocking the mandate. This can currently be one of ‘email’, ‘email_domain’, ‘bank_account’, or ‘bank_name’.
reason_
description - This field is required if the reason_type is other. It should be a description of the reason for why you wish to block this payer and why it does not align with the given reason_types. This is intended to help us improve our knowledge of types of fraud.
reason_
type - The reason you wish to block this payer, can currently be one of ‘identity_fraud’, ‘no_intent_to_pay’, ‘unfair_chargeback’. If the reason isn’t captured by one of the above then ‘other’ can be selected but you must provide a reason description.
resource_
reference - This field is a reference to the value you wish to block. This may be the raw value (in the case of emails or email domains) or the ID of the resource (in the case of bank accounts and bank names). This means in order to block a specific bank account (even if you wish to block generically by name) it must already have been created as a resource.

Create blocks by reference
Creates new blocks for a given reference. By default blocks will be active. Returns 201 if at least one block was created. Returns 200 if there were no new blocks created.
Relative endpoint: POST /blocks/block_by_ref
Parameters
active
- Shows if the block is active or disabled. Only active blocks will be used when deciding if a mandate should be blocked.
reason_
description - This field is required if the reason_type is other. It should be a description of the reason for why you wish to block this payer and why it does not align with the given reason_types. This is intended to help us improve our knowledge of types of fraud.
reason_
type - The reason you wish to block this payer, can currently be one of ‘identity_fraud’, ‘no_intent_to_pay’, ‘unfair_chargeback’. If the reason isn’t captured by one of the above then ‘other’ can be selected but you must provide a reason description.
reference_
type - Type of entity we will seek to get the associated emails and bank accounts to create blocks from. This can currently be one of ‘customer’ or ‘mandate’.
reference_
value - This field is a reference to the entity you wish to block based on its emails and bank accounts. This may be the ID of a customer or a mandate. This means in order to block by reference the entity must have already been created as a resource.

Creditors
Each payment taken through the API is linked to a “creditor”, to whom the payment is then paid out. In most cases your organisation will have a single “creditor”, but the API also supports collecting payments on behalf of others.
Currently, for Anti Money Laundering reasons, any creditors you add must be directly related to your organisation.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “CR”.
address_
line1 - The first line of the creditor’s address.
address_
line2 - The second line of the creditor’s address.
address_
line3 - The third line of the creditor’s address.
bank_
reference_ prefix - Prefix for the bank reference of payouts sent to this creditor. For instance, if
the creditor’s
bank_reference_prefix
wasACME
, the bank reference of a payout sent to that creditor could beACME-8G7Q8
.This prefix is also used for refunds in EUR and GBP.
can_
create_ refunds - Boolean indicating whether the creditor is permitted to create refunds.
city
- The city of the creditor’s address.
country_
code - ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.

logo_
url - URL for the creditor’s logo, which may be shown on their payment pages.
mandate_
imports_ enabled - Boolean value indicating whether creditor has the Mandate Imports functionality enabled.
merchant_
responsible_ for_ notifications - Boolean value indicating whether the organisation is responsible for sending all customer notifications (note this is separate from the functionality described here). If you are a partner app, and this value is true, you should not send notifications on behalf of this organisation.
name
- The creditor’s trading name.
postal_
code - The creditor’s postal code.
region
- The creditor’s address region, county or department.
scheme_
identifiers - An array of the scheme identifiers this creditor can create mandates against.

fields are for customers to contact the merchant for support purposes. They must be displayed on the payment page, please see our compliance requirements for more details.Each instance will contain these properties:
-
address_line1
: The first line of the scheme identifier’s support address. -
address_line2
: The second line of the scheme identifier’s support address. -
address_line3
: The third line of the scheme identifier’s support address. -

-
successful
: The creditor’s account is fully verified, and they can receive payouts. Once a creditor has been successfully verified, they may in the future require further verification - for example, if they change their payout bank account, we will have to check that they own the new bank account before they can receive payouts again. -
in_review
: The creditor has provided all of the information currently requested, and it is awaiting review by GoCardless before they can be verified and receive payouts. -
action_required
: The creditor needs to provide further information to verify their account so they can receive payouts, and should visit the verification flow.

Creditor Bank Accounts
Creditor Bank Accounts hold the bank details of a creditor. These are the bank accounts which your payouts will be sent to.

Customer Bank Accounts
Customer Bank Accounts hold the bank details of a customer. They always belong to a customer, and may be linked to several Direct Debit mandates.
Note that customer bank accounts must be unique, and so you will encounter a bank_account_exists
error if you try to create a duplicate bank account. You may wish to handle this by updating the existing record instead, the ID of which will be provided as links[customer_bank_account]
in the error response.
Note: To ensure the customer’s bank accounts are valid, verify them first using bank_details_lookups, before proceeding with creating the accounts

Customer Notifications
Customer Notifications represent the notification which is due to be sent to a customer
after an event has happened. The event, the resource and the customer to be notified
are all identified in the links
property.
Note that these are ephemeral records - once the notification has been actioned in some way, it is no longer visible using this API.
Restricted: This API is currently only available for approved integrators - please get in touch if you would like to use this API.
Properties
id
- The id of the notification.
action_
taken - The action that was taken on the notification. Currently this can only be
handled
, which means the integrator sent the notification themselves. action_
taken_ at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this action was taken.
action_
taken_ by - A string identifying the integrator who was able to handle this notification.
type
- The type of notification the customer shall receive.
One of:
-
payment_created
-
payment_cancelled
-
mandate_created
-
mandate_blocked
-
subscription_created
-
subscription_cancelled
-
instalment_schedule_created
-
instalment_schedule_cancelled
-
links
[customer] - The customer who should be contacted with this notification.
links
[event] - The event that triggered the notification to be scheduled.
links
[mandate] - The identifier of the related mandate.
links
[payment] - The identifier of the related payment.
links
[refund] - The identifier of the related refund.
links
[subscription] - The identifier of the related subscription.
Handle a notification
“Handling” a notification means that you have sent the notification yourself (and
don’t want GoCardless to send it).
If the notification has already been actioned, or the deadline to notify has passed,
this endpoint will return an already_actioned
error and you should not take
further action. This endpoint takes no additional parameters.

Events
Events are stored for all webhooks. An event refers to a resource which has been updated, for example a payment which has been collected, or a mandate which has been transferred. Event creation is an asynchronous process, so it can take some time between an action occurring and its corresponding event getting included in API responses. See here for a complete list of event types.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “EV”.
action
- What has happened to the resource. See Event Actions for the possible actions.
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
customer_
notifications - Present only in webhooks when an integrator is authorised to send their own
notifications. See here
for further information.
Each instance will contain these properties:
-
deadline
: Time after which GoCardless will send the notification by email. -
id
: The id of the notification. -
mandatory
: Whether or not the notification must be sent. -
type
: See here for a complete list of customer notification types.

the reason the payment was not retried. This can be one of:
-
failure_filter_applied
: The payment won’t be intelligently retried as there is a high likelihood of failure on retry. -
other
: The payment won’t be intelligently retried due to any other reason.
-

Reconciling Payouts with Events
When a payout is created not only does it have an event created for it, but all payments and refunds within that payout have events created for them too. If you know the payout’s ID, you can fetch all of these events using two API requests.
The first step is to find the “paid” event for the Payout you’re interested in. You can do this by filtering events based on the ID of the payout and the action, which is “paid”:
GET https://api.gocardless.com/events?payout=PY123&action=paid
To find child events for a payout, filter for events with a parent_event
equal to the Payout’s paid event:
GET https://api.gocardless.com/events?parent_event=EV123
This will return a paginated list of all child events for payments and refunds associated with the payout.
If you’d also like to return the associated payments or refunds, you can scope the request to a resource_type and include those resources:
GET https://api.gocardless.com/events?parent_event=EV123&resource_type=payments&include=payment
GET https://api.gocardless.com/events?parent_event=EV123&resource_type=refunds&include=refund

Instalment Schedules
Instalment schedules are objects which represent a collection of related payments, with the
intention to collect the total_amount
specified. The API supports both schedule-based
creation (similar to subscriptions) as well as explicit selection of differing payment
amounts and charge dates.
Unlike subscriptions, the payments are created immediately, so the instalment schedule cannot be modified once submitted and instead can only be cancelled (which will cancel any of the payments which have not yet been submitted).
Customers will receive a single notification about the complete schedule of collection.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “IS”.
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
currency
- ISO 4217 currency code. Currently “AUD”, “CAD”, “DKK”, “EUR”, “GBP”, “NZD”, “SEK” and “USD” are supported.
metadata
- Key-value store of custom data. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters.
name
- Name of the instalment schedule, up to 100 chars. This name will also be copied to the payments of the instalment schedule if you use schedule-based creation.
payment_
errors - If the status is
creation_failed
, this property will be populated with validation failures from the individual payments, arranged by the index of the payment that failed. status
- One of:
-
pending
: we’re waiting for GC to create the payments -
active
: the payments have been created, and the schedule is active -
creation_failed
: payment creation failed -
completed
: we have passed the date of the final payment and all payments have been collected -
cancelled
: the schedule has been cancelled -
errored
: one or more payments have failed
-
total_
amount - The total amount of the instalment schedule, defined as the sum of all individual payments, in the lowest denomination for the currency (e.g. pence in GBP, cents in EUR). If the requested payment amounts do not sum up correctly, a validation error will be returned.
links
[customer] - ID of the associated customer.
links
[mandate] - ID of the associated mandate which the instalment schedule will create payments against.
payments
- Array of IDs of the associated payments
Create (with dates)
Creates a new instalment schedule object, along with the associated payments. This API is recommended if you know the specific dates you wish to charge. Otherwise, please check out the scheduling version.
The instalments
property is an array of payment properties (amount
and
charge_date
).
It can take quite a while to create the associated payments, so the API will return
the status as pending
initially. When processing has completed, a subsequent GET
request for the instalment schedule will either have the status success
and link
to the created payments, or the status error
and detailed information about the
failures.
Relative endpoint: POST /instalment_schedules
Parameters
currency
- required ISO 4217 currency code. Currently “AUD”, “CAD”, “DKK”, “EUR”, “GBP”, “NZD”, “SEK” and “USD” are supported.
instalments
-
required An explicit array of instalment payments, each specifying at least an
amount
andcharge_date
. name
- required Name of the instalment schedule, up to 100 chars. This name will also be copied to the payments of the instalment schedule if you use schedule-based creation.
total_
amount - required The total amount of the instalment schedule, defined as the sum of all individual payments, in the lowest denomination for the currency (e.g. pence in GBP, cents in EUR). If the requested payment amounts do not sum up correctly, a validation error will be returned.
app_
fee - The amount to be deducted from each payment as an app fee, to be paid to the partner integration which created the subscription, in the lowest denomination for the currency (e.g. pence in GBP, cents in EUR).
metadata
- Key-value store of custom data. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters.
payment_
reference - An optional reference that will appear on your customer’s bank statement. The character limit for this reference is dependent on the scheme.
ACH - 10 characters
Autogiro - 11 characters
Bacs - 10 characters
BECS - 30 characters
BECS NZ - 12 characters
Betalingsservice - 30 characters
Faster Payments - 18 characters
PAD - scheme doesn’t offer references
PayTo - 18 characters
SEPA - 140 characters
Note that this reference must be unique (for each merchant) for the BECS scheme as it is a scheme requirement. Restricted: You can only specify a payment reference for Bacs payments (that is, when collecting from the UK) if you’re on the GoCardless Plus, Pro or Enterprise packages. Restricted: You can not specify a payment reference for Faster Payments. retry_
if_ possible - On failure, automatically retry payments using intelligent retries. Default is
false
. Important: To be able to use intelligent retries, Success+ needs to be enabled in GoCardless dashboard. links
[mandate] - required ID of the associated mandate which the instalment schedule will create payments against.

Create (with schedule)
Creates a new instalment schedule object, along with the associated payments. This API is recommended if you wish to use the GoCardless scheduling logic. For finer control over the individual dates, please check out the alternative version.
It can take quite a while to create the associated payments, so the API will return
the status as pending
initially. When processing has completed, a subsequent
GET request for the instalment schedule will either have the status success
and link to
the created payments, or the status error
and detailed information about the
failures.

Mandates
Mandates represent the Direct Debit mandate with a customer.
GoCardless will notify you via a webhook whenever the status of a mandate changes.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “MD”. Note that this prefix may not apply to mandates created before 2016.
authorisation_
source - This field is ACH specific, sometimes referred to as SEC code.
This is the way that the payer gives authorisation to the merchant. web: Authorisation is Internet Initiated or via Mobile Entry (maps to SEC code: WEB) telephone: Authorisation is provided orally over telephone (maps to SEC code: TEL) paper: Authorisation is provided in writing and signed, or similarly authenticated (maps to SEC code: PPD)
consent_
parameters [end_ date] - The latest date at which payments can be taken, must occur after start_date if present
consent_
parameters [max_ amount_ per_ payment] - The maximum amount that can be charged for a single payment
periods
- Frequency configuration
Each instance will contain these properties:
-
max_amount_per_period
: The maximum total amount that can be charged for all payments in this period -
max_payments_per_period
: The maximum number of payments that can be collected in this period -
period
: The repeating period for this mandate
-
consent_
parameters [start_ date] - The date from which payments can be taken
consent_
type - (Optional) Specifies the type of authorisation agreed between the payer and merchant. It can be set to one-off, recurring or standing for ACH, or single, recurring and sporadic for PAD.
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
funds_
settlement - This field will decide how GoCardless handles settlement of funds from the customer.
-
managed
will be moved through GoCardless’ account, batched, and payed out. -
direct
will be a direct transfer from the payer’s account to the merchant where invoicing will be handled separately.
-
metadata
- Key-value store of custom data. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters.
next_
possible_ charge_ date - The earliest date that can be used as a
charge_date
on any newly created payment for this mandate. This value will change over time. next_
possible_ standard_ ach_ charge_ date - If this is an an ACH mandate, the earliest date that can be used as a
charge_date
on any newly created payment to be charged through standard ACH, rather than Faster ACH. This value will change over time.It is only present in the API response for ACH mandates.
payments_
require_ approval - Boolean value showing whether payments and subscriptions under this mandate require approval via an automated email before being processed.
reference
- Unique reference. Different schemes have different length and character set requirements. GoCardless will generate a unique reference satisfying the different scheme requirements if this field is left blank.
scheme
- Bank payment scheme to which this mandate and associated payments are submitted. Can be supplied or automatically detected from the customer’s bank account.
status
- One of:
-
pending_customer_approval
: the mandate has not yet been signed by the second customer -
pending_submission
: the mandate has not yet been submitted to the customer’s bank -
submitted
: the mandate has been submitted to the customer’s bank but has not been processed yet -
active
: the mandate has been successfully set up by the customer’s bank -
suspended_by_payer
: the mandate has been suspended by payer -
failed
: the mandate could not be created -
cancelled
: the mandate has been cancelled -
expired
: the mandate has expired due to dormancy -
consumed
: the mandate has been consumed and cannot be reused (note that this only applies to schemes that are per-payment authorised) -
blocked
: the mandate has been blocked and payments cannot be created
-
verified_
at - Timestamp recording when this mandate was verified.
links
[creditor] - ID of the associated creditor.
links
[customer] - ID of the associated customer
links
[customer_ bank_ account] - ID of the associated customer bank account which the mandate is created and submits payments against.
links
[new_ mandate] - ID of the new mandate if this mandate has been replaced.
Create a mandate
Creates a new mandate object.
Relative endpoint: POST /mandates
Note: this endpoint is a legacy API endpoint and does not support GoCardless’ newest features. We recommend using the Billing Requests API instead.
Restricted: this endpoint is restricted to GoCardless Pro and GoCardless Enterprise accounts with approved payment pages.
Warning: by default, the ability to provide a custom mandate reference is switched off. The banking system rules for valid references are quite complex, and we recommend allowing GoCardless to generate it. If you would like to provide custom references, please contact support.
Parameters

Reinstate a mandate
Reinstates a cancelled or expired mandate to the banks. You will receive a resubmission_requested
webhook, but after that reinstating the mandate follows the same process as its initial creation, so you will receive a submitted
webhook, followed by a reinstated
or failed
webhook up to two working days later. Any metadata supplied to this endpoint will be stored on the resubmission_requested
event it causes.
This will fail with a mandate_not_inactive
error if the mandate is already being submitted, or is active.
Mandates can be resubmitted up to 10 times.
Relative endpoint: POST /mandates/MD123/actions/reinstate
Restricted: this endpoint is restricted to accounts with approved payment pages. To instead use the GoCardless hosted payment pages, see the redirect flows endpoint.
Warning: A mandate can only be reinstated if it has been cancelled through the dashboard or the API. Any mandate that has been cancelled by the bank cannot be reinstated.
Parameters
metadata
- Key-value store of custom data. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters.

Mandate Imports
Mandate Imports allow you to migrate existing mandates from other providers into the GoCardless platform.
The process is as follows:
- Create a mandate import
- Add entries to the import
- Submit the import
- Wait until a member of the GoCardless team approves the import, at which point the mandates will be created
- Link up the mandates in your system
When you add entries to your mandate import, they are not turned into actual mandates until the mandate import is submitted by you via the API, and then processed by a member of the GoCardless team. When that happens, a mandate will be created for each entry in the import.
We will issue a mandate_created
webhook for each entry, which will be the same as the webhooks
triggered when creating a mandate using the mandates API. Once these
webhooks start arriving, any reconciliation can now be accomplished by
checking the current status of the mandate import and
linking up the mandates to your system.
Note that all Mandate Imports have an upper limit of 30,000 entries, so we recommend you split your import into several smaller imports if you’re planning to exceed this threshold.
Restricted: This API is currently only available for approved integrators - please get in touch if you would like to use this API.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “IM”.
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
scheme
- The scheme of the mandates to be imported.
All mandates in a single mandate import must be for the same scheme. status
- The status of the mandate import.
-
created
: A new mandate import. -
submitted
: After the integrator has finished adding mandates and submitted the import. -
cancelled
: If the integrator cancelled the mandate import. -
processing
: Once a mandate import has been approved by a GoCardless team member it will be in this state while mandates are imported. -
processed
: When all mandates have been imported successfully.
-
links
[creditor] - ID of the associated creditor.
Create a new mandate import
Mandate imports are first created, before mandates are added one-at-a-time, so this endpoint merely signals the start of the import process. Once you’ve finished adding entries to an import, you should submit it.
Relative endpoint: POST /mandate_imports
Parameters
scheme
- required A bank payment scheme. Currently “ach”, “autogiro”, “bacs”, “becs”, “becs_nz”, “betalingsservice”, “faster_payments”, “pad”, “pay_to” and “sepa_core” are supported.
links
[creditor] - ID of the associated creditor. Only required if your account manages multiple creditors.

Submit a mandate import
Submits the mandate import, which allows it to be processed by a member of the GoCardless team. Once the import has been submitted, it can no longer have entries added to it.
In our sandbox environment, to aid development, we automatically process mandate imports approximately 10 seconds after they are submitted. This will allow you to test both the “submitted” response and wait for the webhook to confirm the processing has begun.

Cancel a mandate import
Cancels the mandate import, which aborts the import process and stops the mandates being set up in GoCardless. Once the import has been cancelled, it can no longer have entries added to it. Mandate imports which have already been submitted or processed cannot be cancelled.

Mandate Import Entries
Mandate Import Entries are added to a Mandate Import. Each entry corresponds to one mandate to be imported into GoCardless.
To import a mandate you will need:
- Identifying information about the customer (name/company and address)
- Bank account details, consisting of an account holder name and either an IBAN or local bank details
- Amendment details (SEPA only)
We suggest you provide a record_identifier
(which is unique within the context of a
single mandate import) to help you to identify mandates that have been created once the
import has been processed by GoCardless. You can
list the mandate import entries,
match them up in your system using the record_identifier
, and look at the links
fields to find the mandate, customer and customer bank account that have been imported.
Restricted: This API is currently only available for approved integrators - please get in touch if you would like to use this API.
Properties
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
record_
identifier - A unique identifier for this entry, which you can use (once the import has been processed by GoCardless) to identify the records that have been created. Limited to 255 characters.
links
[customer] - The ID of the customer which was created when the mandate import was processed.
links
[customer_ bank_ account] - The ID of the customer bank account which was created when the mandate import was processed.
links
[mandate] - The ID of the mandate which was created when the mandate import was processed.
links
[mandate_ import] - The ID of the mandate import. This is returned when you create a Mandate Import.
Add a mandate import entry
For an existing mandate import, this endpoint can be used to add individual mandates to be imported into GoCardless.
You can add no more than 30,000 rows to a single mandate import.
If you attempt to go over this limit, the API will return a record_limit_exceeded
error.
Relative endpoint: POST /mandate_import_entries

Payer Authorisations
Don’t use Payer Authorisations for new integrations. It is deprecated in favour of Billing Requests. Use Billing Requests to build any future integrations.
Payer Authorisation resource acts as a wrapper for creating customer, bank account and mandate details in a single request. PayerAuthorisation API enables the integrators to build their own custom payment pages.
The process to use the Payer Authorisation API is as follows:
- Create a Payer Authorisation, either empty or with already available information
- Update the authorisation with additional information or fix any mistakes
- Submit the authorisation, after the payer has reviewed their information
- [coming soon] Redirect the payer to the verification mechanisms from the response of the Submit request (this will be introduced as a non-breaking change)
- Confirm the authorisation to indicate that the resources can be created
After the Payer Authorisation is confirmed, resources will eventually be created as it’s an asynchronous process.
To retrieve the status and ID of the linked resources you can do one of the following:
- Listen to
payer_authorisation_completed
webhook (recommended) - Poll the GET endpoint
- Poll the GET events API
https://api.gocardless.com/events?payer_authorisation={id}&action=completed
Note that the create
and update
endpoints behave differently than
other existing create
and update
endpoints. The Payer Authorisation is still saved if incomplete data is provided.
We return the list of incomplete data in the incomplete_fields
along with the resources in the body of the response.
The bank account details(account_number, bank_code & branch_code) must be sent together rather than splitting across different request for both create
and update
endpoints.
The API is designed to be flexible and allows you to collect information in multiple steps without storing any sensitive data in the browser or in your servers.

Update a Payer Authorisation
Updates a Payer Authorisation. Updates the Payer Authorisation with the request data. Can be invoked as many times as needed. Only fields present in the request will be modified. An empty array of incomplete_fields means that the resource is valid. This endpoint has been designed this way so you do not need to save any payer data on your servers or the browser while still being able to implement a progressive solution, such a multi-step form. Note that in order to update the metadata
attribute values it must be sent completely as it overrides the previously existing values.

Confirm a Payer Authorisation
Confirms the Payer Authorisation, indicating that the resources are ready to be created. A Payer Authorisation cannot be confirmed if it hasn’t been submitted yet.
The main use of the confirm endpoint is to enable integrators to acknowledge the end of the setup process. They might want to make the payers go through some other steps after they go through our flow or make them go through the necessary verification mechanism (upcoming feature).

Retry a payment
Retries a failed payment if the underlying mandate is active. You will receive a resubmission_requested
webhook, but after that retrying the payment follows the same process as its initial creation, so you will receive a submitted
webhook, followed by a confirmed
or failed
event. Any metadata supplied to this endpoint will be stored against the payment submission event it causes.
This will return a retry_failed
error if the payment has not failed.
Payments can be retried up to 3 times.
Relative endpoint: POST /payments/PM123/actions/retry
Parameters
charge_
date - A future date on which the payment should be collected. If not specified, the payment will be collected as soon as possible. If the value is before the mandate’s
next_possible_charge_date
creation will fail. If the value is not a working day it will be rolled forwards to the next available one. metadata
- Key-value store of custom data. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters.

Payout Items
When we collect a payment on your behalf, we add the money you’ve collected to your GoCardless balance, minus any fees paid. Periodically (usually every working day), we take any positive balance in your GoCardless account, and pay it out to your nominated bank account.
Other actions in your GoCardless account can also affect your balance. For example, if a customer charges back a payment, we’ll deduct the payment’s amount from your balance, but add any fees you paid for that payment back to your balance.
The Payout Items API allows you to view, on a per-payout basis, the credit and debit
items that make up that payout’s amount. Payout items can only be retrieved for payouts
created in the last 6 months. Requests for older payouts will return an HTTP status
410 Gone
.
Properties
amount
- The positive (credit) or negative (debit) value of the item, in fractional currency;
the lowest denomination for the currency (e.g. pence in GBP, cents in EUR), to one decimal place.
For accuracy, we store some of our fees to greater precision than we can actually pay out (for example, a GoCardless fee we record might come to 0.5 pence, but it is not possible to send a payout via bank transfer including a half penny).
To calculate the final amount of the payout, we sum all of the items and then round to the nearest currency unit. taxes
- An array of tax items beta
Note: VAT applies to transaction and surcharge fees for merchants operating in the UK and France.
Each instance will contain these properties:
-
amount
: The amount of tax applied to a fee in fractional currency; the lowest denomination for the currency (e.g. pence in GBP, cents in EUR), to one decimal place. -
currency
: ISO 4217 currency code. Currently “AUD”, “CAD”, “DKK”, “EUR”, “GBP”, “NZD”, “SEK” and “USD” are supported. -
destination_amount
: The amount of tax to be paid out to the tax authorities in fractional currency; the lowest denomination for the currency (e.g. pence in GBP, cents in EUR), to one decimal place.When
currency
anddestination_currency
don’t match this will benull
until theexchange_rate
has been finalised. -
destination_currency
: ISO 4217 code for the currency in which tax is paid out to the tax authorities of your tax jurisdiction. Currently “EUR” for French merchants and “GBP” for British merchants. -
exchange_rate
: The exchange rate for the tax from the currency into the destination currency.Present only if the currency and the destination currency don’t match and the exchange rate has been finalised.
You can listen for the payout’s
tax_exchange_rates_confirmed
webhook to know when the exchange rate has been finalised for all fees in the payout. -
tax_rate_id
: The unique identifier created by the jurisdiction, tax type and version
-
type
- The type of the credit (positive) or debit (negative) item in the payout (inclusive of VAT if applicable). One of:
-
payment_paid_out
(credit) -
payment_failed
(debit): The payment failed to be processed. -
payment_charged_back
(debit): The payment has been charged back. -
payment_refunded

refund
(debit): A refund sent to a customer, not linked to a payment. -
refund_funds_returned
(credit): The refund could not be sent to the customer, and the funds have been returned to you. -
gocardless_fee
(credit/debit): The fees that GoCardless charged for a payment. In the case of a payment failure or chargeback, these will appear as credits. Will include taxes if applicable for merchants. -
app_fee
(credit/debit): The optional fees that a partner may have taken for a payment. In the case of a payment failure or chargeback, these will appear as credits. -
revenue_share
(credit/debit): A share of the fees that GoCardless collected which some partner integrations receive when their users take payments. Only shown in partner payouts. In the case of a payment failure or chargeback, these will appear as credits. -
surcharge_fee
(credit/debit): GoCardless deducted a surcharge fee as the payment failed or was charged back, or refunded a surcharge fee as the bank or customer cancelled the chargeback. Will include taxes if applicable for merchants.

Redirect Flows
Deprecated: Redirect Flows are legacy APIs and cannot be used by new integrators. The Billing Request flow API should be used for your payment flows.
Redirect flows enable you to use GoCardless’ hosted payment pages to set up mandates with your customers. These pages are fully compliant and have been translated into Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish.
The overall flow is:
-
You create a redirect flow for your customer, and redirect them to the returned redirect url, e.g.
https://pay.gocardless.com/flow/RE123
. -
Your customer supplies their name, email, address, and bank account details, and submits the form. This securely stores their details, and redirects them back to your
success_redirect_url
withredirect_flow_id=RE123
in the querystring. -
You complete the redirect flow, which creates a customer, customer bank account, and mandate, and returns the ID of the mandate. You may wish to create a subscription or payment at this point.
Once you have completed the redirect flow via the API, you should display a confirmation page to your customer, confirming that their Direct Debit has been set up. You can build your own page, or redirect to the one we provide in the confirmation_url
attribute of the redirect flow.
Redirect flows expire 30 minutes after they are first created. You cannot complete an expired redirect flow. For an integrator this is shorter and they will expire after 10 minutes.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “RE”.
confirmation_
url - The URL of a confirmation page, which you may optionally redirect the customer to rather than use your own page, that confirms in their chosen language that their Direct Debit has been set up successfully. Only returned once the customer has set up their mandate via the payment pages and the redirect flow has been completed, and only available for 15 minutes from when you complete the redirect flow. The structure of this URL may change at any time, so you should read it directly from the API response.
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
description
- A description of the item the customer is paying for. This will be shown on the hosted payment pages.
mandate_
reference - Mandate reference generated by GoCardless or submitted by an integrator.
metadata
- Key-value store of custom data. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters. Note: This should not be used for storing PII data.
redirect_
url - The URL of the hosted payment pages for this redirect flow. This is the URL you should redirect your customer to.
scheme
- The Direct Debit scheme of the mandate. If specified, the payment pages will only allow the set-up of a mandate for the specified scheme. It is recommended that you leave this blank so the most appropriate scheme is picked based on the customer’s bank account.
session_
token - The customer’s session ID must be provided when the redirect flow is set up and again when it is completed. This allows integrators to ensure that the user who was originally sent to the GoCardless payment pages is the one who has completed them.
success_
redirect_ url - The URL to redirect to upon successful mandate setup. You must use a URL beginning
https
in the live environment. links
[billing_ request] - ID of billing request that a redirect flow can create.
Note: The redirect flow will only create a billing request in the event the redirect flow is eligible to send the payer down this new and improved flow links
[creditor] - The creditor for whom the mandate will be created. The
name
of the creditor will be displayed on the payment page. links
[customer] - ID of customer created by this redirect flow.
Note: this property will not be present until the redirect flow has been successfully completed. links
[customer_ bank_ account] - ID of customer bank account created by this redirect flow.
Note: this property will not be present until the redirect flow has been successfully completed. links
[mandate] - ID of mandate created by this redirect flow.
Note: this property will not be present until the redirect flow has been successfully completed.
Create a redirect flow
Creates a redirect flow object which can then be used to redirect your customer to the GoCardless hosted payment pages.
Relative endpoint: POST /redirect_flows
Deprecated: Redirect Flows are legacy APIs and cannot be used by new integrators. The Billing Request flow API should be used for your payment flows.
Parameters

Complete a redirect flow
This creates a customer, customer bank account, and mandate using the details supplied by your customer and returns the ID of the created mandate.
This will return a redirect_flow_incomplete
error if your customer has not yet been redirected back to your site, and a redirect_flow_already_completed
error if your integration has already completed this flow. It will return a bad_request
error if the session_token
differs to the one supplied when the redirect flow was created.
Relative endpoint: POST /redirect_flows/RE123456/actions/complete
Deprecated: Redirect Flows are legacy APIs and cannot be used by new integrators. The Billing Request flow API should be used for your payment flows.
Parameters
session_
token - required The customer’s session ID must be provided when the redirect flow is set up and again when it is completed. This allows integrators to ensure that the user who was originally sent to the GoCardless payment pages is the one who has completed them.

Refunds
Refund objects represent (partial) refunds of a payment back to the customer.
GoCardless will notify you via a webhook whenever a refund is created, and will update the amount_refunded
property of the payment.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “RF”.
amount
- Amount in minor unit (e.g. pence in GBP, cents in EUR).
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
currency
- ISO 4217 currency code. This is set to the currency of the refund’s payment.
fx
[estimated_ exchange_ rate] - Estimated rate that will be used in the foreign exchange of the
amount
into thefx_currency
. This will vary based on the prevailing market rate until the moment that it is paid out. Present only before a resource is paid out. Has up to 10 decimal places. fx
[exchange_ rate] - Rate used in the foreign exchange of the
amount
into thefx_currency
. Present only after a resource is paid out. Has up to 10 decimal places. fx
[fx_ amount] - Amount that was paid out in the
fx_currency
after foreign exchange. Present only after the resource has been paid out. fx
[fx_ currency] - ISO 4217 code for the currency in which amounts will be paid out (after foreign exchange). Currently “AUD”, “CAD”, “DKK”, “EUR”, “GBP”, “NZD”, “SEK” and “USD” are supported. Present only if payouts will be (or were) made via foreign exchange.
metadata
- Key-value store of custom data. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters.
reference
- An optional reference that will appear on your customer’s bank statement. The character limit for this reference is dependent on the scheme.
ACH - 10 characters
Autogiro - 11 characters
Bacs - 10 characters
BECS - 30 characters
BECS NZ - 12 characters
Betalingsservice - 30 characters
Faster Payments - 18 characters
PAD - scheme doesn’t offer references
PayTo - 18 characters
SEPA - 140 characters
Note that this reference must be unique (for each merchant) for the BECS scheme as it is a scheme requirement. Restricted: You can only specify a payment reference for Bacs payments (that is, when collecting from the UK) if you’re on the GoCardless Plus, Pro or Enterprise packages. Restricted: You can not specify a payment reference for Faster Payments. status
- One of:
-
created
: the refund has been created -
pending_submission
: the refund has been created, but not yet submitted to the banks -
submitted
: the refund has been submitted to the banks -
paid
: the refund has been included in a payout -
cancelled
: the refund has been cancelled -
bounced
: the refund has failed to be paid -
funds_returned
: the refund has had its funds returned
-
links
[mandate] - ID of the mandate against which the refund is being made.
links
[payment] - ID of the payment against which the refund is being made.
Create a refund
Creates a new refund object.
-
total_amount_confirmation_invalid
if the confirmation amount doesn’t match the total amount refunded for the payment. This safeguard is there to prevent two processes from creating refunds without awareness of each other. -
number_of_refunds_exceeded
if five or more refunds have already been created against the payment. -
available_refund_amount_insufficient
if the creditor does not have sufficient balance for refunds available to cover the cost of the requested refund.
Relative endpoint: POST /refunds
Restricted: This endpoint is disabled by default. You can contact us to request that we enable this for you.
Warning: A payment that has been (partially) refunded can still receive a late failure or chargeback from the customer’s bank.
A refund can only be created once it is outside the safer refund period (7 calendar days after the charge date) otherwise an error is returned. The safer refund period can be disabled by contacting GoCardless.
Parameters

Scenario Simulators
Scenario Simulators allow you to manually trigger and test certain paths that your integration will encounter in the real world. These endpoints are only active in the sandbox environment.
Properties
id
- The unique identifier of the simulator, used to initiate simulations. One of:
-
creditor_verification_status_action_required
: Sets a creditor’sverification status
toaction required
, meaning that the creditor must provide further information to GoCardless in order to verify their account to receive payouts. -
creditor_verification_status_in_review
: Sets a creditor’sverification status
toin review
, meaning that the creditor has provided all of the information requested by GoCardless to verify their account, and is now awaiting review. -
creditor_verification_status_successful
: Sets a creditor’sverification status
tosuccessful
, meaning that the creditor is fully verified and can receive payouts. -
payment_confirmed
: Transitions a payment through toconfirmed
. It must start in thepending_submission
state, and its mandate must be in theactivated
state (unless it is a payment for ACH, BECS, BECS_NZ or SEPA, in which cases the mandate may bepending_submission
, since their mandates are submitted with their first payment). -
payment_paid_out
: Transitions a payment through topaid_out
, having been collected successfully and paid out to you. It must start in thepending_submission
state, and its mandate must be in theactivated
state (unless it is a payment for ACH, BECS, BECS_NZ or SEPA, in which cases the mandate may bepending_submission
, since their mandates are submitted with their first payment). -
payment_failed
: Transitions a payment through tofailed
. It must start in thepending_submission
state, and its mandate must be in theactivated
state (unless it is a payment for ACH, BECS, BECS_NZ or SEPA, in which cases the mandate may bepending_submission
, since their mandates are submitted with their first payment). -
payment_charged_back
: Behaves the same as thepayout_paid_out
simulator, except that the payment is transitioned tocharged_back
after it is paid out, having been charged back by the customer. -
payment_chargeback_settled
: Behaves the same as thepayment_charged_back
simulator, except that the charged back payment is additionally included as a debit item in a payout, thereby settling the charged back payment. -
payment_late_failure
: Transitions a payment through tolate_failure
, having been apparently collected successfully beforehand. It must start in thepending_submission
state, and its mandate must be in theactivated
state (unless it is a payment for ACH, BECS, BECS_NZ or SEPA, in which cases the mandate may bepending_submission
, since their mandates are submitted with their first payment). Not compatible with Autogiro mandates. -
payment_late_failure_settled
: Behaves the same as thepayment_late_failure
simulator, except that the late failure is additionally included as a debit item in a payout, thereby settling the late failure. -
payment_submitted
: Transitions a payment tosubmitted
, without proceeding any further. It must start in thepending_submission
state. -
mandate_activated
: Transitions a mandate through toactivated
, having been submitted to the banks and set up successfully. It must start in thepending_submission
state. Not compatible with ACH, BECS, BECS_NZ and SEPA mandates, which are submitted and activated with their first payment. -
mandate_customer_approval_granted
: Transitions a mandate through topending_submission
, as if the customer approved the mandate creation. It must start in thepending_customer_approval
state. Compatible only with Bacs and SEPA mandates, which support customer signatures on the mandate. All payments associated with the mandate will be transitioned topending_submission
. All subscriptions associated with the mandate will becomeactive
. -
mandate_customer_approval_skipped
: Transitions a mandate through topending_submission
, as if the customer skipped the mandate approval during the mandate creation process. It must start in thepending_customer_approval
state. Compatible only with Bacs and SEPA mandates, which support customer signatures on the mandate. All payments associated with the mandate will be transitioned topending_submission
. All subscriptions associated with the mandate will becomeactive
. -
mandate_failed
: Transitions a mandate through tofailed
, having been submitted to the banks but found to be invalid (for example due to invalid bank details). It must start in thepending_submission
orsubmitted
states. Not compatible with SEPA mandates, which are submitted with their first payment. -
mandate_expired
: Transitions a mandate through toexpired
, having been submitted to the banks, set up successfully and then expired because no collection attempts were made against it for longer than the scheme’s dormancy period (13 months for Bacs, 3 years for SEPA, 15 months for ACH, Betalingsservice, and BECS). It must start in thepending_submission
state. Not compatible with Autogiro, BECS NZ, and PAD mandates, which do not expire. -

Scheme Identifiers
This represents a scheme identifier (e.g. a SUN in Bacs or a CID in SEPA). Scheme identifiers are used to specify the beneficiary name that appears on customers’ bank statements.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, usually beginning with “SU”.
address_
line1 - The first line of the scheme identifier’s support address.
address_
line2 - The second line of the scheme identifier’s support address.
address_
line3 - The third line of the scheme identifier’s support address.
can_
specify_ mandate_ reference - Whether a custom reference can be submitted for mandates using this scheme identifier.
city
- The city of the scheme identifier’s support address.
country_
code - ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.
created_
at - Fixed timestamp, recording when this resource was created.
currency
- The currency of the scheme identifier.
email
- Scheme identifier’s support email address.
minimum_
advance_ notice - The minimum interval, in working days, between the sending of a pre-notification to the customer, and the charge date of a payment using this scheme identifier.
By default, GoCardless sends these notifications automatically. Please see our compliance requirements for more details.
name
- The name which appears on customers’ bank statements. This should usually be the merchant’s trading name.
phone_
number - Scheme identifier’s support phone number.
postal_
code - The scheme identifier’s support postal code.
reference
- The scheme-unique identifier against which payments are submitted.
region
- The scheme identifier’s support address region, county or department.
scheme
- The scheme which this scheme identifier applies to.
status
- The status of the scheme identifier. Only
active
scheme identifiers will be applied to a creditor and used against payments.
Create a scheme identifier
Creates a new scheme identifier. The scheme identifier status will be pending
while GoCardless is
processing the request. Once the scheme identifier is ready to be used the status will be updated to active
.
At this point, GoCardless will emit a scheme identifier activated event via webhook to notify you of this change.
In Bacs, it will take up to five working days for a scheme identifier to become active. On other schemes, including SEPA,
this happens instantly.
Scheme identifier name validations
The name
field of a scheme identifier can contain alphanumeric characters, spaces and
special characters.
Its maximum length and the special characters it supports depend on the scheme:
scheme | maximum length | special characters allowed |
---|---|---|
bacs | 18 characters | / . & - |
sepa | 70 characters | / ? : ( ) . , + & < > ' " |
ach | 16 characters | / ? : ( ) . , ' + - |
faster_ |
18 characters | / ? : ( ) . , ' + - |
The validation error that gets returned for an invalid name will contain a suggested name in the metadata that is guaranteed to pass name validations.
You should ensure that the name you set matches the legal name or the trading name of the creditor, otherwise, there is an increased risk of chargeback.
Relative endpoint: POST /scheme_identifiers
Restricted: This endpoint is restricted to GoCardless Embed customers. Please contact us if you are interested in using this product.
Parameters
name
- required The name which appears on customers’ bank statements. This should usually be the merchant’s trading name.
scheme
- required The scheme which this scheme identifier applies to.
links
[creditor] - required ID of the associated creditor.

Subscriptions
Subscriptions create payments according to a schedule.
Recurrence Rules
The following rules apply when specifying recurrence:
- If
day_of_month
andstart_date
are not providedstart_date
will be the mandate’snext_possible_charge_date
and the subscription will then recur based on theinterval
&interval_unit
- If
month
orday_of_month
are present the following validations apply:
interval_unit | month | day_of_month |
---|---|---|
yearly | optional (required if day_ |
optional (invalid if month not provided) |
monthly | invalid | optional |
weekly | invalid | invalid |
Examples:

Pause a subscription
Pause a subscription object. No payments will be created until it is resumed.
This can only be used when a subscription is collecting a fixed number of payments (created using count
),
when they continue forever (created without count
or end_date
) or
the subscription is already paused for a number of cycles.
When pause_cycles
is omitted the subscription is paused until the resume endpoint is called.
If the subscription is collecting a fixed number of payments, end_date
will be set to null
.
When paused indefinitely, upcoming_payments
will be empty.
When pause_cycles
is provided the subscription will be paused for the number of cycles requested.
If the subscription is collecting a fixed number of payments, end_date
will be set to a new value.
When paused for a number of cycles, upcoming_payments
will still contain the upcoming charge dates.
This fails with:
-
forbidden
if the subscription was created by an app and you are not authenticated as that app, or if the subscription was not created by an app and you are authenticated as an app -
validation_failed
if invalid data is provided when attempting to pause a subscription. -
subscription_paused_cannot_update_cycles
if the subscription is already paused for a number of cycles and the request provides a value forpause_cycle
. -
subscription_cannot_be_paused
if the subscription cannot be paused. -
subscription_already_ended
if the subscription has taken all payments. -
pause_cycles_must_be_greater_than_or_equal_to
if the provided value forpause_cycles
cannot be satisfied.
Relative endpoint: POST /subscriptions/SB123/actions/pause
Warning: Please note that any payments that have already been created from this subscription will still be collected unless you manually cancel them.
Parameters
metadata
- Key-value store of custom data. Up to 3 keys are permitted, with key names up to 50 characters and values up to 500 characters.
pause_
cycles - The number of cycles to pause a subscription for. A cycle is one duration of
interval
andinterval_unit
. This should be a non zero positive value. For AUD subscriptions withinterval_unit: weekly
the minimum value varies between3
&4
because of the mandatory minimum waiting period. For NZD subscriptions withinterval_unit: weekly
the minimum value is2
because of the mandatory minimum waiting period.

transferred
The mandate has been transferred to a different bank account either using a bank switching service (where it is supported) or with help from GoCardless Support when a customer asks to change their bank account (we can make the switch after verifying the details). The event will include links[previous_customer_bank_account]
and links[new_customer_bank_account]
. When using a bank switching service, the mandate may have been submitted again, depending on how the involved banks handled the transfer.
Origin | Cause | Description |
---|---|---|
bank | bank_ |
The customer’s bank account was transferred to a different bank or building society. |
api | mandate_ |
This mandate was transferred to a new bank account through GoCardless. |
expired
No collection attempts were made against the mandate within the dormancy period of your service user number. As a result it has expired, and no further collections can be taken against it. If you wish to continue taking payments from this customer you should request their permission and use the reinstate endpoint.
Origin | Cause | Description |
---|---|---|
gocardless | mandate_ |
The mandate is being marked as expired, because no payments have been collected against it for the dormancy period of your service user number. If you have access to the mandate reinstation API endpoint, you can use this to attempt to set this mandate up again. |
bank | mandate_ |
This mandate was cancelled by the customer or their bank. |
gocardless | mandate_ |
The mandate has expired. |
submitted
The mandate has been submitted to the banks, and should become active in a few days, unless the bank declines the request.
Origin | Cause | Description |
---|---|---|
gocardless | mandate_ |
The mandate has been submitted to the banks. |
bank | bank_ |
The customer’s bank account was transferred to a different bank or building society. |
resubmission_requested
A request to resubmit the mandate was made by the mandate reinstate endpoint.
Origin | Cause | Description |
---|---|---|
api | resubmission_ |
An attempt to reinstate this mandate was requested. |
bank | bank_ |
The customer’s bank account was transferred to a different bank or building society. |
reinstated
The mandate has become active again, after it was cancelled or expired. This can be due to the customer’s bank wishing to undo a cancellation or expiry notice they sent, or because the mandate was successfully reinstated via the reinstate endpoint.
Origin | Cause | Description |
---|---|---|
gocardless | mandate_ |
The time window after submission for the banks to refuse a mandate has ended without any errors being received, so this mandate is now active. |
bank | mandate_ |
A cancelled mandate has been re-instated by the customer’s bank. |
replaced
The mandate has been cancelled and replaced by a new mandate (for example, because the creditor has moved to a new Service User Number). The event will include links[new_mandate]
with the ID of the new mandate.
Origin | Cause | Description |
---|---|---|
gocardless | scheme_ |
The creditor has changed to a different scheme identifier, so this mandate has been cancelled and replaced by a new one. |
consumed
The mandate has been used to create a payment, and has now been consumed. It cannot be used again.
Origin | Cause | Description |
---|---|---|
gocardless | mandate_ |
The mandate has been used to create a payment, and has now been consumed. It cannot be used again. |
blocked
The mandate has been blocked because the customer’s details matched against an entry in either our global blocklist or the blocklist populated by you. This mandate cannot be unblocked and no payments can be created against it. If you still wish to collect payments from this customer, you will need to remove their details from any blocks you have created and ask them to set up a new mandate. If you contacted GoCardless to block the customer’s details, you will need to make a request to unblock them.
Origin | Cause | Description |
---|---|---|

The mandate has been blocked because the customer’s details matched against an entry in the blocklist populated by you. |

Intelligent Retries
Intelligent retries is a feature which automatically retries payments if they fail.
Important: To be able to use intelligent retries, Success+ needs to be enabled in Gocardless Dashboard.
Individual Payments
Creating Payment
When creating a payment set retry_if_possible
to true
This will enable intelligent retries if the payment is considered eligible.
Updating Payment
If a payment has been created with retry_if_possible
set to true, then it can be updated to
false
. This will prevent the payment being automatically retried in the event of a failure.
The API currently only allows the flag to be updated to false
. Hence for a payment which
has been already created it is not allowed to set this flag to true
.

Content-Type: application/json
{
"payments": {
"retry_if_possible": false
}
}
Instalment Schedules
When creating an instalment schedule set retry_if_possible
to true
to ensure that all instalment payments created are automatically retried upon failure.

Subscriptions
When creating a subscription set retry_if_possible
to true
to ensure that all payments created for the subscription are retried automatically upon failure.
POST https://api.gocardless.com/subscriptions HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
{
"subscriptions": {
"amount": "2500",

"retry_if_possible": true,
...
}
Handling Failures
On payment failure the failed
event will always be sent. If the payment will be automatically retried the field will_attempt_retry
will be true
.
When a payment is automatically retried it will trigger a resubmission_requested
event just like any other type of retry.
When will_attempt_retry
is true
, GoCardless will automatically retry the payment. Please do not attempt to collect the payment from the customer yourself, as this can lead to them being double charged.

Retry Rules
The criteria below are subject to change and should not be relied upon.
Use the will_attempt_retry
field above
to know for sure if a payment will be retried.
The retry_if_possible
field does not guarantee the payment will be retried on failure.
A payment will be retried if the following conditions are met:
- Intelligent retries for the scheme has been enabled on the settings page.
- The payment has field
retry_if_possible
set to true. - The payment has failed due to insufficient funds.
- The number of payment failures is lesser than the number of retries configured in the intelligent retries settings page.
- The subsequent retry can be confirmed within the retry window configured in the intelligent retries settings page.
Healthcheck
We expose a health check endpoint which can be used to test connections to our API.
Requests to this endpoint do not require authorization and are not rate limited.
This endpoint will return a 200
response while our API is available.

Bank Details Lookups
Look up the name and reachability of a bank account.
Properties
available_
debit_ schemes - Array of schemes supported for this bank account. This will be an empty array if the bank account is not reachable by any schemes.
bank_
name - The name of the bank with which the account is held (if available).
bic
- ISO 9362 SWIFT BIC of the bank with which the account is held.
Even if no BIC is returned for an account, GoCardless may still be able to collect payments from it - you should refer to the
available_debit_schemes
attribute to determine reachability.
Perform a bank details lookup
Performs a bank details lookup. As part of the lookup, a modulus check and reachability check are performed.
For UK-based bank accounts, where an account holder name is provided (and an account number, a sort code or an iban are already present), we verify that the account holder name and bank account number match the details held by the relevant bank.
If your request returns an error or the available_debit_schemes
attribute is an empty array, you will not be able to collect payments from the
specified bank account. GoCardless may be able to collect payments from an account
even if no bic
is returned.
Bank account details may be supplied using local details or an IBAN.
ACH scheme For compliance reasons, an extra validation step is done using a third-party provider to make sure the customer’s bank account can accept Direct Debit. If a bank account is discovered to be closed or invalid, the customer is requested to adjust the account number/routing number and succeed in this check to continue with the flow.
Note: Usage of this endpoint is monitored. If your organisation relies on GoCardless for modulus or reachability checking but not for payment collection, please get in touch.

account_
holder_ name - The account holder name associated with the account number (if available). If provided and the country code is GB, a payer name verification will be performed.

Webhooks
Check out our getting started guide for a step-by-step introduction to handling webhooks, with PHP, Ruby, Python and Java code samples
Overview
A webhook is a HTTP request containing a list of GoCardless events. Webhooks notify you of new events, e.g. when the bank informs us that one of your payments has failed.
You can enable webhooks by creating a Webhook Endpoint
in your GoCardless dashboard.
When an event occurs in your GoCardless account, we’ll batch that (and any
other undelivered events) up into a single webhook and send it to every enabled webhook
endpoint as a POST
request.
There are a few things to note when using webhooks:
-
Webhooks may arrive out of order, or the same one may be delivered multiple times. Each event may be included in one or more webhooks. We can only guarantee that we’ll try to deliver each event at least once.
-
When deciding what actions to take in response to Webhook events, we recommend you switch on the
details[cause]
field. Other fields, such asdetails[reason_code]
, are payment scheme-specific and can be inconsistent between banks, whereas thedetails[cause]
field is our simplified and predictable key indicating what triggered the event. -
Webhooks with an invalid signature must return a
498 Token Invalid
error. -
Webhooks about unknown events should be ignored, and return
204 No Content
. GoCardless may add new events to the API without considering this a backwards incompatible change. -
You must use
SSL/TLS
for webhook URLs. Unsecured webhook URLs are only allowed in the sandbox environment. Your server must respond with the full certificate chain including intermediate certificates. You can test this with a tool like Qualys SSL labs -
Webhooks include an
Origin
header indicating what GoCardless environment they were sent from. This will behttps://api.gocardless.com
for live, andhttps://api-sandbox.gocardless.com
for sandbox. -
All the webhooks you’ve ever been sent are viewable in your GoCardless dashboard in the “Developers” area.
-
The webhook ID included under the
meta
key should not be used for deduplication: it is only included to help with debugging. Searching for this ID in the GoCardless dashboard will show you the information on the most recent delivery attempt for this webhook.
Our webhooks platform will only wait 10 seconds for a response from your server, before
terminating the request - we suggest you store the webhook body and execute
any work that needs doing asynchronously to avoid issues.
The Webhook’s response_code
will be null
when this happens.
Status codes
Your webhook handler should return a response with a 2xx status code,
e.g. 200 OK
, or 204 No Content
. If the webhook signature is invalid, you should return
a 498 Invalid Token
Errors & Retries
In the event we fail to deliver the webhook, or you respond with a non 2xx status code, we will attempt to resend the webhook up to 8 times at increasing time intervals, including the initial attempt this will be a total of 9 attempts.
You can view webhooks we’ve sent you in your GoCardless dashboard, and can retry them if required.
Approved IP addresses
We send webhooks from the following IP addresses which you may wish to add to your firewalls approved list:
- 35.204.73.47
- 35.204.191.250
- 35.204.214.181
We will provide advance notification by email at least two weeks before we make any changes to these addresses.
You can set the email we will contact you at from your Dashboard - simply click “Settings” in the top-right hand corner, then “Contact preferences”, and then edit your developer contact.
Signing Webhooks
We sign the body of the POST request with an HMAC SHA256 hex digest, using the secret of the webhook endpoint for which this webhook is being sent. This is done using an additional header:
Webhook-Signature
- The HMAC SHA256 hex digest of the request body.
You must check that the webhook has a valid signature before processing it. Here’s how you could do that in Ruby:
# request_signature - the signature sent in Webhook-Signature
# request_body - the JSON body of the webhook request
# secret - the secret for the webhook endpoint
require "openssl"
digest = OpenSSL::Digest.new("sha256")
calculated_signature = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest(digest, secret, request_body)
if calculated_signature == request_signature
# Signature ok!
else
# Invalid signature. Ignore the webhook and return 498 Token Invalid
end
Examples
Payments
In this example, you have set up two customers, and each has a mandate. You
created a payment for each customer, called “Test Payment” and “Test Payment 2”
respectively. A few days later, these have been collected, and this has generated
a payment update event for those payments. You have created a webhook endpoint, with id
WE123
, secret 123ABC456DEF
, and url https://example.com/webhooks
.
We will send a POST
request, like the one on the right, to
https://example.com/webhooks
. To process it, you should:
- Store the contents of the webhook in durable storage e.g a database or queue.
- Check the signature
- Return 204 No Content
- Process the content of the webhook asynchronously by
- Checking that you have not already processed the events contained in the webhook.
- Fetching the updated resources, using the ID’s supplied, and check that they have not changed further since the webhook was sent (since webhooks may arrive out of order)
- Acting on the events, e.g. shipping goods, extending subscription

Mandates
In this example a customer has two mandates, and has just closed their bank account. Both mandates were cancelled by their bank, and this is being passed on through GoCardless via a webhook, using the same webhook endpoint as in the previous example. Once again, you should:
- Store the contents of the webhook in durable storage e.g a database or queue.
- Check the signature
- Return 204 No Content
- Process the content of the webhook asynchronously by
- Checking that you have not already processed the events contained in the webhook.
- Fetching the updated resources, using the ID’s supplied, and check that they have not changed further since the webhook was sent (since webhooks may arrive out of order)

}
Payouts
In this example, your payments have been collected by GoCardless, and are now ready to be paid out into the associated creditor bank account. This payout has just been generated, which triggers a webhook using the same webhook endpoint as in the previous examples. Once again you should:
- Store the contents of the webhook in durable storage e.g a database or queue.
- Check the signature
- Return 204 No Content
- Process the content of the webhook asynchronously by
- Checking that you have not already processed the events contained in the webhook.
- Fetching the updated resources, using the ID’s supplied, and check that they have not changed further since the webhook was sent (since webhooks may arrive out of order)

"links": {
"payout": "PO123"
}
}
],
"meta": { "webhook_id": "WB123" }
}
Subscriptions
In this example a subscription has just raised a payment, which triggers a webhook using the same webhook endpoint as in the previous examples. Once again you should:
- Store the contents of the webhook in durable storage e.g a database or queue.
- Check the signature
- Return 204 No Content
- Process the content of the webhook asynchronously by
- Checking that you have not already processed the events contained in the webhook.
- Fetching the updated resources, using the ID’s supplied, and check that they have not changed further since the webhook was sent (since webhooks may arrive out of order)

}
JavaScript Flow
You can use our JavaScript flow to create custom payment pages. Our JavaScript library will send sensitive bank details to our servers directly and return a token that can be used to create a customer bank account.
The API allows you to create and show your customer bank account tokens.
Restricted: the JavaScript Flow is restricted to GoCardless Pro & Enterprise accounts with approved payment pages. To instead use the GoCardless hosted payment pages, see the redirect flows endpoint.
Customer Bank Account Tokens
Customer bank account tokens can only be used once. Attempting to create a second customer bank account from the same customer bank account token will result in a customer_bank_account_token_used
error.
Properties
id
- Unique identifier, beginning with “AT”.
created_
at - Fixed timestamp of when the customer bank account token was originally created.
links
[customer_ bank_ account] - ID of customer bank account that was created from this token.
Note: this property will only be present if this token has been used to create a customer bank account.
Create a customer bank account token
Creates a new customer bank account token object.
Relative endpoint: POST /customer_bank_account_tokens
Note: The customer bank account token API is currently in beta and will change.
We may not honour the usual backwards compatibility practice, however we will do our best to inform you of upcoming changes.
GoCardless performs modulus checks on all bank details. For testing purposes, check the test bank details section for a list of scheme specific set of bank details you can use.
The overall flow is:
-
You render a payment form with a publishable access token embedded on the page.
-
Your customer supplies their bank account details and submits the form. The form submission needs to be intercepted in JavaScript and submitted using our JavaScript library; on success you should inject the created token into the form and complete the submission to your server.
-
You create a customer bank account passing in the token in place of bank account details.
Intercepting form submission with the JavaScript library

OAuth
Check out our getting started guide for a step-by-step introduction to building an OAuth integration, with PHP, Ruby, Python and Java code samples
OAuth allows you to work with other users’ GoCardless accounts. Once a user approves you, you can use the GoCardless API on their behalf and receive their webhooks.
The GoCardless OAuth API conforms to the OAuth spec, and can be used with OAuth client libraries available in most languages.
The base URLs for the GoCardless OAuth API are:
-
https://connect.gocardless.com
for live -
https://connect-sandbox.gocardless.com
for sandbox
The OAuth flow
The flow to link a GoCardless account to your app is as follows:
- The user clicks a link on your site to the GoCardless OAuth flow. The link includes details of your app as well as a
scope
which defines the level of access you want the user to authorise. - On the GoCardless OAuth page, the user logs in to their GoCardless account, or creates a new one, and agrees to connect their account to your app.
- The user, having agreed that they’d like to connect to your app, is redirected back to your site with a
code
. - Your site exchanges the
code
for a permanentaccess_token
which can be stored and used to make requests to the API on the user’s behalf. - You can then make API requests using the user’s access token and receive webhooks relating to their account.
You can try the process for yourself by connecting your sandbox account to our example app. The source code, written in Ruby, is available here - it provides a good introduction to creating your own OAuth app.
Creating an OAuth app
To get started, you’ll need a GoCardless account. If you haven’t already, you can sign up here to get one. Once you’re logged into your account, you can create apps from the developer section of your dashboard
When you do this, you’ll be issued a client_id
and client_secret
, each 64
characters long, which you’ll use to identify your integration when requesting
access to other users’ GoCardless accounts.
Building an authorisation link
An authorisation link takes your user to the GoCardless OAuth flow, where they may agree to connect their GoCardless account to your app. It includes details of your app and the level of access requested.
To construct an authorisation link, take the relevant OAuth base URL plus the relative endpoint /oauth/authorize
with the following querystring parameters. You should redirect your user to this link using a GET
request.
Parameters
response_
type -
required The kind of OAuth request you’re making - only
code
is supported. client_
id -
required The
client_id
of your app. scope
-
required The level of access you want to your users’ GoCardless accounts - this may either be
read_write
orread_only
. redirect_
uri -
required The URL to send your users to once they’ve agreed to connect their account to GoCardless (as well if they deny authorisation or something goes wrong, in which case we’ll pass you details of the error). This must exactly match one of the
redirect_uris
stored on your app. state
- An optional string of your choice. Any value you pass in here will be included as a querystring parameter when we redirect back to your redirect URL. Please note that this value can be tampered with by your user, and so shouldn’t be trusted implicitly. We recommend using this parameter for a CSRF token.
prefill
[email] - Your user’s email address. We will pre-fill this on the login or signup forms to make it quicker and easier for them to complete the flow.
prefill
[given_ name] - Your user’s given (first) name. We will pre-fill this on the signup form.
prefill
[family_ name] - Your user’s family (last) name. We will pre-fill this on the signup form.
prefill
[organisation_ name] - The name of the user’s organisation (e.g. Acme Widget plc, 2nd Upminster Scout Group or Tim Rogers). We will pre-fill this on the signup form.
prefill
[country_ code] - The country code of the users’ organisation in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code format. We will pre-fill this on the signup form.
language
- The language that the login/signup form should be in, in ISO 639-1 format. If the language specified is supported, we will use it. Otherwise, we will fall back to the most appropriate available language for the user, based on factors like their browser settings and location.
initial_
view - An optional parameter, set to either
signup
orlogin
to specify which view we should show when your user enters the OAuth flow. By default, they will see the login view if you’re requestingread_only
access and the signup view if requestingread_write
.
GET https://connect.gocardless.com/oauth/authorize HTTP/1.1

prefill[given_name]=Tim,
prefill[family_name]=Rogers,
prefill[organisation_name]=Tim%27s%20Fishing%20Store
prefill[country_code]=GB
Handling the redirect back to you
Once the user has connected their GoCardless account to your app, they’ll be redirected to your redirect_uri
.
In the querystring, you will be passed a code
, which you must exchange for a long-lived access token within 5 minutes. If you provided a state
in the original redirect to GoCardless, this will be passed back to you.
Errors
If the user denies your request to connect, or some other kind of error occurs (for example you specify an invalid scope
or response_type
is missing), the user will be redirected back to you with an error
and error_description
, per the OAuth spec.
error
will be set to one of the following, and there will be a human-readable error_description
which you may wish to store to refer to in case of errors:
invalid_
request - You failed to provide either a
scope
or aresponse_type
. invalid_
scope - You provided a
scope
other thanread_only
orread_write
. unsupported_
response_ type - You provided a
response_type
other thancode
. access_
denied - The user chose not to connect their account to your app.

state=q8wEr9yMohTP
GET https://localhost/callback HTTP/1.1
error=access_denied&
error_description=The%20user%20cancelled%20the%20authorisation%20process.
Exchanging an authorisation code for an access token
Exchanges the authorisation code passed to you in the redirect for an access token which you may store and use to make future requests on the user’s behalf. Note that if the user has previously authorised with you, we will still generate a new access token and will disable any existing tokens for that user.
Relative endpoint: POST /oauth/access_token
Parameters
grant_
type -
required The kind of OAuth grant you’ve received - this will be
authorization_code
. code
-
required The authorisation code that resulted from the user agreeing to connect their account to your app, passed to you in the querystring as
code
. This will expire after 5 minutes, so you should exchange it for an access token immediately. redirect_
uri -
required One of the
redirect_uris
set on your app, and which you provided when sending your user to the OAuth flow. client_
id -
required The
client_id
for your registered app. client_
secret -
required The
client_secret
for your registered app.
Response
Following the OAuth spec, this endpoint responds with JSON including an access_token
if successful.
access_
token - Your permanent access token for authenticating on behalf of the user. You should store this for future use.
scope
- The
scope
of the access token, as originally requested (eitherread_write
orread_only
). token_
type - The type of token you’ve been issued - this will be
bearer
. organisation_
id - The ID of the GoCardless account to which you have been connected. You should store this for future use, as you will need it to identify to which of your users a webhook relates.
email
- A contact email for the GoCardless account to which you have been connected.
Errors
In case of an error, the endpoint responds with JSON including an error
and human-readable error_description
. error
may contain one of the following:
invalid_
request - You have not provided at least one of the required parameters (
grant_type
,code
,redirect_uri
,client_id
andclient_secret
), or one of your parameters is of the wrong type. unsupported_
grant_ type - You provided a
grant_type
other thanauthorization_code
. invalid_
client - The
client_id
andclient_secret
you provided to authenticate as your app were invalid or refer to a disabled app. invalid_
grant - The
code
you provided has already been used, has expired, or theredirect_uri
you provided does not match the one originally provided when passing the user to GoCardless.

Making requests
You can now make standard API requests using the access token you received in exchange for the authorisation code. This will allow you to view and manipulate (depending on the scope
you requested) the user’s data.
As with elsewhere in the API, the access token must be provided in an Authorization
request header, using the bearer authentication scheme.
Authorization: Bearer e72e16c7e42f292c6912e7710c123347ae178b4a
Any errors generated by requests using your users’ access tokens will follow the usual structure of errors in the GoCardless API, as opposed to the OAuth-specific errors above.
If the access token provided is invalid, you will receive a 401 Unauthorized
response. The response body will include a reason, which will be either:
-
access_token_not_found
(the access token was not recognised); or -
access_token_revoked
(the user has revoked your access to their account); or -
access_token_not_active
(the access token is inactive for another reason)
Users will need to go through the authorisation flow again in order for you to obtain a new access token.
If you receive an unexpected 403 Forbidden
response for an endpoint your app is authorised to access (see below), this may indicate that your user’s account is under review. The user will have been informed by GoCardless that they need to provide additional information to re-enable their account.
Restricted: You will not be able to access the following API endpoints on behalf of organisations connected to your app:
- Creditor (create and update)
- Creditor Bank Account (all endpoints)
Unless your app’s payment pages that have been approved as scheme rules compliant by our sponsor bank you must use GoCardless’ hosted payment pages (via the Redirect Flow API). As such, the following endpoints will also be restricted by default:
- Mandate (create and reinstate)
- Customer (create)
- Customer bank account (create)

Receiving webhooks
If you’ve provided a webhook URL for your app, we’ll notify you of new events relating to the GoCardless accounts of your users. For details on how webhooks work and how to process them, see the guide.
The events we send you will be identical to those described, but with an additional links[organisation]
attribute allowing you to identify which of your users a webhook relates to.
The organisation ID is provided when exchanging an authorisation code for an access token and when looking up an access token. If you expect to handle webhooks, you should store it for future reference.

App Fees
If your OAuth app is creating payments on behalf of your users you may wish to add on a fee in addition to the fee that GoCardless charges.
When an OAuth app creates a payment or a subscription, it can specify an app_fee
. This is an amount in pence or cents that will be deducted from the amount that the user receives. A fee charged by an app must be no more than 50% of the total payment amount.
App fees will be collated in a payout and paid out. App fee payouts are created and paid out daily, as with other payouts.

Compliance Requirements
When building a Direct Debit integration your payment pages and notifications need to comply with scheme-level rules. To help you design compliant pages quickly we have a series of guides:
Payment pages:
- ACH requirements (standard)
- ACH requirements (advanced)
- Autogiro requirements
- Bacs requirements
- BECS requirements
- BECS NZ requirements
- PAD requirements
- SEPA requirements
Customer notifications:
- ACH requirements
- Autogiro requirements
- Bacs requirements
- BECS requirements
- BECS NZ requirements
- PAD requirements
- SEPA requirements
Before your account can be set to “live” our sponsor bank will need to sign off your compliance in the above areas.
Alternatively, you may wish to use the Redirect Flow API,
which enables you to use payment pages hosted by GoCardless, and / or to have
GoCardless send compliant, generic notification emails on your behalf.
You can see our hosted payment pages and an example of the emails we send by
testing out the payment flow here.
Local Bank Details
Creditor bank accounts, customer bank accounts, and customer bank account tokens can all be created with local or international bank details. This section lists the different local bank detail formats, and how they should be used with the GoCardless API.
IBAN
When supplying an IBAN (international bank account number), the country_code
field is
optional, but must match the country code of the IBAN (its first two characters) if
supplied.
If currency
is not supplied we use the default currency based on the
provided or derived country_code
. For example if the IBAN of an account
begins with GB
but you want to collect Euros from the account using SEPA you
must specify the currency
as EUR
.
IBANs are not supported for Australian bank accounts denominated in AUD and Swedish bank accounts denominated in SEK - you must supply local bank details.
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"iban": "GB60 BARC 2000 0055 7799 11",
...
}
}
UK
For the UK, a 6-8 digit account_number
and a 6 digit branch_code
(sort code)
should be supplied.
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"country_code": "GB",
"account_number": "55779911",
"branch_code": "200000",
...
}
}
Australia
For Australia, an account_number
and a branch_code
(BSB number)
should be supplied. The account number is 5-9 digits, and the BSB number is 6 digits.
IBANs are not supported for Australian bank accounts denominated in AUD - you must supply local bank details.
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"country_code": "AU",
"account_number": "0123456789",
"branch_code": "012345",
...
}
}
Austria
For Austria, an account_number
(Kontonummer, Kto.) and bank_code
(Bankleitzahl, BLZ)
should be supplied. The Kontonummer is 4-11 digits, and the Bankleitzahl is 5 digits.
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"country_code": "AT",
"account_number": "234573201",
"bank_code": "19043",
...
}
}
Belgium
For Belgium, only an account_number
(Rekeningnummer/Numéro de compte) should be
supplied. The first three digits of this are a bank identifier, but are usually considered
part of the account number.
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"country_code": "BE",
"account_number": "539-0075470-34",
...
}
}
Canada
For Canada, use a 2-3 digit bank_code
(Financial Institution number), a 5
digit branch_code
(Branch Transit number) and a 7-12 digit account_number
.
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"country_code": "CA",
"account_number": "1234567",
"bank_code": "0003",
"branch_code": "00006",
...
}
}
Cyprus
For Cyprus, a 3 digit bank_code
(Kodikos Trapezas) and 7-16 digit account_number
(Arithmos Logariasmou) must be supplied, and a 5 digit branch_code
(Kodikos Katastimatos)
can also be supplied.
The bank and branch code (Kodikos Trapezas and Kodikos Katastimatos) are frequently
supplied together as a single number, so it is also allowed to supply just an 8-digit
bank_code
containing both the Kodikos Trapezas and the Kodikos Katastimatos.
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"country_code": "CY",
"account_number": "1200527600",
"bank_code": "002",
"branch_code": "00128",
...
}
}
Denmark
For Denmark, a 2-4 digit bank_code
(registreringsnummer) and a 9-10 digit
account_number
(kontonummer) must be supplied.
Alternatively, the bank code and branch code can be provided as part of the
account_number
field separated by a -
(e.g. 123-123-1234
), or a
13-14-digit account_number
(including bank code) can be provided where values
are separated by a space (e.g. 1234 1234567890
).
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"country_code": "DK",
"account_number": "3179681",
"bank_code": "345",
...
}
}
Estonia
All local account numbers were replaced with IBANs in February 2014, however some payers
may prefer using the old account numbers. These are up to 14 digits, and can be supplied
as the account_number
.
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"country_code": "EE",
"account_number": "221020145685",
...
}
}
Finland
As of August 2014, Finnish banks are required to use IBANs rather than the old “tilinumeron
rakenne”, however GoCardless still supports the older format. This is a 6 digit bank_code
,
and up to 8 digit account_number
.
The Åland Islands use the same banking details as Finland, and can be submitted
using their ISO 3166-1 country code AX
.
{
"customer_bank_accounts": {
"country_code": "FI",
"account_number": "456",
"bank_code": "500015",
...
}
}
France
There are four parts to French bank details:
- Code banque: 5 digit
bank_code
- Code guichet: 5 digit
branch_code
- Numéro de compte: up to 11 digit account number
- Clé RIB: 2 check digits
The check digits are frequently written at the end of the account number, and this is how
they should be included in the account_number
field.
French DOMs and TOMs use the same details as above, and can be submitted using their ISO 3166-1 country codes:
- French Guiana:
GF
- Guadeloupe:
GP
- Martinique:
MQ
- Mayotte:
YT
- Réunion:
RE
- Saint Barthélemy:

full local bank details. If local bank details are provided, a 3 digit bank_code
(Kodikos Trapezas), a 5 digit branch_code
(Kodikos Katastimatos), and a 16 digit

bank_code
- CAB: 5 digit
branch_code
- Numero di conto: up to 12 digit

Latvia replaced bank details with IBANs in 2005, so most Latvian payers are unlikely to
know their bank code and account number, however GoCardless continues to accept them. The
bank_code

San Marino
San Marino uses the same bank details formats as Italy.

Character Sets
Different schemes allow different sets of characters to be used in payment and mandate references. All schemes allow alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) and some also allow a selection of special characters (subject to change). Any references provided to us containing characters not permitted by the scheme will cause an error, we will include the characters that caused the error in the message.
The exact way that references are displayed also varies by bank (e.g. some truncate references, some do not show them at all). GoCardless will always format payment and mandate references to appear as accurately as possible for the given bank and scheme.
Public Certificate Policy
GoCardless forces HTTPS for all services, using TLS. Our client libraries also use TLS and verify the certificates to ensure security.
Currently our certificates are provided by Google (Google GTS Root R1 CA
).
This can be verified using the openssl
library:
$ openssl s_client -connect api.gocardless.com:443 <<< ""
CONNECTED(00000005)
depth=2 C = US, O = Google Trust Services LLC, CN = GTS Root R1
verify return:1
depth=1 C = US, O = Google Trust Services LLC, CN = GTS CA 1P5
verify return:1
depth=0 CN = api.gocardless.com
verify return:1

Our client libraries currently don’t offer any form of certificate pinning, and we don’t intend to support this feature in the future. We reserve the right to change our Certificate Authority (CA), which will break your integration if you’ve implemented certificate pinning..
For any future changes to the API certificate authority, we will place a scheduled maintenance notice on our status page, with at least 2 weeks advance warning. If your integration does depend on a specific TLS chain of trust, then we advise that you subscribe to updates on this page.
Approving our IP Addresses
Please be aware that adding our IPv4 addresses to an approved list is not a supported scenario for using our API. The IP address may change as part of our normal operations and should not be relied upon to remain static. This is inline with best practices for highly-available services.
As a result we recommend that you do not add our IPv4 addresses to your approved lists in the future.
Approving our IP addresses for receiving webhooks is still a valid practice. Please visit the webhooks appendix for more details.
Alternative to IP approved lists
We recommend relying on the stronger security provided by Transport Layer Security (TLS). This should be used to validate our identity whilst communicating with our API as part of the normal checking of certificates. Please note that certificate revocation should also be checked for all parts of the certificate chain in the certificate we provide you.
For more information on how to implement this change, or for help with any questions, please contact our team on api@gocardless.com.
Tax Rates
GoCardless has been instructed by the relevant authorities to charge tax on its fees.
GoCardless currently applies tax to transaction and surcharge fees for merchants operating in the UK and France.
Who does this impact?
At this time, this change will impact any creditors who have a country_code
of “GB” or “FR”. It is possible that we may have to start charging VAT (or equivalent) in other areas that we operate in the future.
In the onboarding flow we request that creditor to select the appropriate jurisdiction for their country, which we use to apply the correct tax to the merchant.
Best practices for integrating
For best practices see our partner guides for handling tax.
Definitions of jurisdiction
jurisdiction
for countries or overseas territories will be an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, e.g FR
for France & GP
for Guadeloupe
For areas with unique tax rates that do not have ISO-3166-1 codes, we will use the ISO 3166-2 subdivision codes for that country. e.g Corsica is FR-COR
.
