Just give your customers your sort code and bank account number, ask them to enter the first line of their address.
I currently have about 10 payments a week this way.

Dai, you could do that, but by getting customers to your website, you are not just increasing the traffic, thus helping your search engine optimization, but also giving you the opportunity to sell another product, such as gutter or conny cleans

I have mine in business account and it comes up with what I give them as there reference, if the accoubnt is 881 thats what I give them, I then search dadta base for 881 and amend payments each morning, so much easier and cheaper than paypal also straight in your bank  ;D

I get £2000 per month in online payments. Every customer is assigned a unique customer number and uses  that as a ref in a bacs payment. Its free (for now) and I am considering trying to get all my customers moved over to this method.
