Are you tired of chasing down payments and invoices? Do you want to make it easier for your customers to pay their bills?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a small business owner or freelancer, then getting paid is one of your top priorities. You need to make sure that you are getting paid quickly and reliably, or else you could end up in a bad position. That means your customers’ happiness with available payment methods is important. The easier it is to pay you, the better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to get paid, including via direct debit. This article will go over the advantages of using direct debit for your business, as well as how easy it is to set it up! We’ll walk you through how GoCardless<\/a> and InvoiceBerry work together in order to make this happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Direct Debit and GoCardless<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cash<\/strong> is quick, but requires a lot of manual admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bank transfers<\/strong> ask a lot of work from your customer and you’re reliant on when they actually send it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Credit or debit cards<\/strong> carry high costs for your business and customer cards can still fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standing orders<\/strong> are great for fixed amounts at regular intervals, but are less flexible–if they need to pay you a different amount or change how often they get billed, your clients often need to cancel the order and make a new one themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct debit<\/strong> has the convenience of standing orders, but with added flexibility. After your client allows you to collect payment from them, they won’t need to worry about things like changing amounts or frequencies. You’re in control, and more and more people are looking for this option<\/a> to pay for services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
