Partners: Going Live with your integration
What’s next?
Having followed our guides and built & tested your integration, check out our best practices guide - it’ll take you through everything you need to build a great integration for your users, and is perfect for going through before you go live.
Go-live checklist
Before going live, a member of our GoCardless team will need to review your integration with a demonstration video. Your demo should provide a full walkthrough for the following key elements, using an additional sandbox account as if you were one of our mutual customers:
1. OAuth
Including sign-in view, sign-up view, pre-filling capabilities, account connection, and clear verification or pending status.
2. Mandates
Demonstrate either hosted payment pages or custom pages (which will require compliance review) and pre-filling of customer and bank details.
3. Payments
Show usage of Payments, Subscriptions, and Installments endpoints, including implemented Open Banking and combined Open Banking/Direct Debit functionalities and outbound payments.
4. Refunds
Exhibit implemented refund capabilities. To enable refunds in sandbox, please provide the partnership team with the email address you used to create the account.
5. Reconciliation
Statuses: Display how current Mandate and Payment statuses are shown, and confirm that payments/resources are marked as confirmed/successful upon receiving the payment_confirmed event.
Submit your App for review
Once you’ve fully tested your partner integration in the sandbox and recorded the demonstration video, you’ll need to have it reviewed by a member of the GoCardless team before you can start connecting merchants in the live environment.
Make sure you have done the following:
Recorded your demonstration video
You'll also need to write a user guide so it's clear how your integration works - and URL of this user guide for us to review
A high-resolution logo, so we can list you as one of our partners
Please send this to partnerships@gocardless.com or your account manager. We'll aim to get back to you within 5 working days.
Finally, to drive usage of your integration, we’d suggest developing a landing page with the key benefits and a user guide, ensuring GoCardless is included in your FAQs and support materials, pointing users to it in welcome emails and regular communications.
Earning money from your integration
GoCardless offer a 10% revenue share of the transaction fees generated by your integration.
That means that for every transaction that your users take through your integration, you’ll receive a 10% share of the fees GoCardless collect.
Please note that if you have chosen to apply app fees to your integration, you cannot also have a revenue share.
For more information or to set up a revenue share, contact the partnerships team.
