For Partner Integrators
Introduction
With the GoCardless API, it’s easy to build a partner integration, adding Direct Debit functionality to your software, so your users can collect and manage their payments in a way that’s seamlessly integrated with your product and their business processes.
For example, if you provide accounting and invoicing software, you can integrate Direct Debit using the GoCardless API so your users can get paid automatically every time they raise an invoice.
