GoCardless - GoCardless as a Bank Feed

As the old 'GoCardless for Xero' integration is no longer being developed.

And the new 'GCiX' GoCardless as a payment service integration is even less functional.

Stripe, Paypal, Tyro and eWay all have bank feeds.

We need a functional bank feed for GoCardless.

Hey everyone, thanks for all the support and engagement on this idea. 

To be transparent with you all, building a dedicated bank feed for GoCardless isn't something we have in our plans right now.

While we don't have a direct bank feed for GoCardless, we still want to make sure you can easily reconcile these payments in Xero - When your customer pays, Xero automatically reconciles the individual invoice payments and fees in a dedicated GoCardless clearing account. You'll then just need to manually reconcile the bank transfer when the payout from GoCardless arrives in your bank account.

We’ll be sure to post an update here if our plans change.

    Yes this is very much needed bank feed wise!! Is there any movement on th is for go cardless?

  • Bee Hesketh commented  ·   ·  Report

    Either fix the issues with the GoCardless integrations, or give us a bank feed. The lack of functionality currently is incredibly poor.

    I was able to write an app within a few hours to pull all the infomation that would be required to create a 'bank feed' from the GoCardless API.
    As for the obtuse Xero API, there is no ability push 'bank feeds' or write new entries into 'bank accounts'.
    I've previously spoken the Xero about their API imitations, which some feture are apparently only available to select partners.
    Surely a Xero dev would be faster than me a part-time basic level programer. Surly they could get this task completed and tested in 1-2 hours.

    I've given up on GoCardless + Xero. It does not work

    We are going to Gocardless from Stripe and not having a bank feed is so backward. I am currently working from 3 spreadsheets, as we have 13 different files coming into the one Go cardless account.

    We would also like a direct bank feed from GoCardless to Xero to save time importing GoCardless transactions into Xero.

    This is a great idea. Currently we have to download payments and upload as csv files before manual reconciliation. Most of our donors pay monthly via GoCardless so it would be a significant time-saver. Thanks

    We are also finding this a problem. How do we match them as a bank etc?

    The older "Gocardless 4 Xero" app is till available in the xero app store, and it still works for a colleague of mine, so it should be a matter of moments to implement.

  • annette colton commented  ·   ·  Report

    Really need this. The older "GoCardless 4 Xero" app which does this is still listed in teh Xero app store, but tryng to install it diverts to the payment service installation.
    Please could we just have a choice of installing the original app, or the recommended payment service, instead of teh automatic divert.
    This could make it clear that the app is not supported through Xero and people should only install this rather than the payment service if there is a have a good reason to!
