The problem it solves
Recurring revenue needs reliable collection, but card subscriptions fail and chasing late payers is time you do not have. Direct Debit fixes that, yet on WooCommerce it normally means paying for a second subscriptions plugin on top.
What you get
Predictable recurring revenue
Monthly, six-monthly and yearly Direct Debit billing for WooCommerce, collected automatically.
No WooCommerce Subscriptions licence needed
It works with the GoCardless API directly.
Renewals appear as orders
Every collected payment shows as a paid renewal order in WooCommerce.
Built because we needed it
We wanted to sell recurring services by Direct Debit without paying for an extra subscriptions plugin on top. So we built the billing layer ourselves. It is independent, and is not made by or affiliated with GoCardless Ltd.
Not another off-the-shelf plugin
Built on GoCardless
Direct Debit mandate and first payment in one hosted step, then repeat payments collected automatically with retries on failures.
Customer and admin tools
A Direct Debit plans page in My Account with cancel, refunds from the order screen, and emails for failed payments.
Safe to test
A sandbox mode lets you test with GoCardless test bank details before going live.
How it compares to what is already out there
| Alternative | Typical price | What it is, and where this differs |
|---|---|---|
| WooCommerce Subscriptions | $279 per year | The standard subscription plugin. GoCardless states its own extension needs it for subscription products. |
| GoCardless for WooCommerce | $0 for the extension, plus GoCardless transaction fees | The official Direct Debit extension. It collects the payments but works with WooCommerce Subscriptions for recurring products. |
| Grow Better Digital Direct Debit Subscriptions | Price to be announced | Built around the problem above and used in our own business. Join the waiting list to hear the price first, with early-access offers. |
