Title: GoCardless changing payouts
Post by: jo5hm4n on January 17, 2018, 07:18:43 pm: I have a good number of custards on GoCardless now and i have it so the payments are automatically coming out every 4 weeks. Most of my customers are on 4 weekly cleaning, but obviously whenever i take a week off for holiday or xmas etc, then its now worked out that half a dozen or so are now paying for windows 2-3 weeks before im even due round lol.

I don't have a problem with this, but i dont want to risk upsetting customers. Is there an easy way to change and delay the payments or reset them for a few weeks later than scheduled? Also, i dont want to bother customers either, im only going to change this if i can do it easily without annoying customers. They dont want to have to setup again etc...

What would you do.....

Just take a single payment straight after the clean.

Post by: Marc Stock on January 17, 2018, 07:25:08 pm: I take all my payments at the end of the month on or around the 28th in one batch.

Therefore most if not all the work has been completed by then and it will usually show up in the account at the beginning the next month.

So if i have to chop and change the dates its not a big deal as long as its done that month.

What does it cost with the GC function enabled, or is that standard.

No. They discontinued the app. But the dashboard is still there ( website)
