Charitable GoCardless GPL v1.0.1

Charitable GoCardless is a secure Direct Debit payment gateway extension that enables nonprofits to accept bank-based donations through GoCardless, helping significantly reduce transaction costs compared to traditional card payments. Instead of typical 2.5–3% card processing fees, GoCardless transactions average closer to 1%, allowing organizations to retain more of every donation. The extension integrates with major Direct Debit schemes worldwide including Bacs (UK), SEPA Core (Europe), ACH (USA), Autogiro (Sweden), Betalingsservice (Denmark), BECS (Australia & New Zealand), and PAD (Canada). Donations are processed via a secure off-site GoCardless-hosted payment page, ensuring sensitive banking data is handled safely and maintaining PCI compliance. Fully compatible with Charitable’s Recurring Donations extension, it supports weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual recurring giving without complex setup. Designed with privacy in mind, the integration allows direct connection to GoCardless without requiring partner account access, helping keep donor data secure and confidential. For nonprofits seeking lower fees, global bank payment options, and seamless recurring donation capabilities, Charitable GoCardless provides a cost-effective and reliable solution.
