Ubercart GoCardless Client

The Ubercart GoCardless Client module provides an integration with the Ubercart e-commerce suite, and GoCardless.com. The module integrates into Ubercart like any other Payment service module, and allows customers to create a direct debit mandate for paying for products upon checking out.

The big advantage with GoCardless over other payment services is that it charges just 1% on transactions.

There are two kinds of payment service available from GoCardless: Subscriptions and One-off Payments.

Subscriptions are automatic recurring payment, and work well for users that want to take the same payment on a regular basis (for instance £5 per week, or £20 on the first of each month).

One-off Payments allow you, the end user, to trigger a payment against a direct debit mandate at any time with the API. This allows you to charge your end customers ad-hoc amounts.

Sites that implement the module are 'clients' of Seamless-CMS.co.uk, which handles the management of direct debit mandates with GoCardless on behalf of the client site.
