Adding Customers
Before you can create and collect payments from your customers, you first need to set them up in your GoCardless account. As GoCardless operates on a pull-based payment mechanism, you will need to invite them to authorise you to collect payments from their bank account. We offer three ways to do this via your dashboard, which we’ll cover one by one in this section.
We do offer one exception to this customer setup process via the GoCardless dashboard - Paylinks. Paylinks allow you to connect a single payment to a multi-use authorisation link so that the payment immediately begins processing once a customer submits their details. See here for more information.
Please note: Customers will need to provide their first and last name, email address, billing address and bank details to set up a payment authorisation.
