This guide provides an overview of how GoCardless handles outbound payments, covering key features, examples, and API usage to ensure you have everything you need to get started.
What is an Outbound Payment?
Outbound Payments enable merchants to send money using the GoCardless API.
Why "Outbound Payments"? Unlike collection payments, where funds move from customers to merchants, the money flow for sending money is reversed — funds are transferred from the merchant's account to the recipient's account. To clearly reflect this reversed flow, we named the resource "Outbound Payment".
