When it comes to getting paid, have you ever wondered: Is there a better way? Whether you’re managing subscriptions, handling one-off payments, or working with customers across multiple countries, the way you process payments can have a big impact on your efficiency, costs, and cash flow. Credit cards, e-invoicing, and direct debit all have their strengths, but what if you could simplify the process, reduce costs, and get paid faster—no matter where your customers are?
At Younium, we’re excited to announce that we’re bringing a powerful new solution to the table: GoCardless integration, set to launch in Spring 2025. Building on the success of our Stripe connector, this new integration will empower businesses to streamline their payment processes, reduce costs, and get paid faster—all while seamlessly integrating with Younium’s subscription management platform.
Let’s explore the pros and cons of different payment methods and how Younium’s GoCardless integration can help you make smarter payment decisions.
The Pros and Cons of Popular Payment Methods
Credit Cards: Fast but Costly
- Pros: Credit cards are widely accepted and offer quick payment processing, making them a popular choice for businesses and customers alike.
- Cons: High transaction fees can eat into your margins, especially for smaller businesses or recurring payments. Additionally, not all customers prefer using credit cards for larger transactions.
E-Invoicing: Flexible but Slower
- Pros: E-invoicing provides flexibility and is ideal for businesses with longer payment terms or custom billing cycles.
- Cons: The process can be slow, with long lead times and the risk of late payments. Chasing unpaid invoices can also take up valuable time and resources.
Direct Debit: Reliable and Cost-Effective
- Pros: Direct debit, like GoCardless, offers low transaction fees, predictable cash flow, and is ideal for recurring payments. It’s also widely supported across multiple countries, making it a great option for businesses with international customers.
- Cons: Some customers may be hesitant to set up direct debit due to perceived complexity, though modern solutions like GoCardless have made the process much simpler.
