For Partner Integrators

Introduction

As a partner, you can accept bank payments on your software. GoCardless establishes a direct relationship with your users, and processes payments on your behalf.

In this guide, we’ll cover all of the key steps required for building an integration. Click “What's Next” at the bottom of each page to follow the integration flow and see code examples:
