Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Forwardly is so good designed. It is easy to use and review payments or vendors and find the information that I need. If I ever have a question or concern, the support team is just a few clicks away.
  • Easy-to-use platform, onboarding was a breeze. Within a day I was able to request the payments from my clients.
  • It seemed simple enough, sign up, link the bank, start sending invoices. They make it sounds very easy…
  • Very user friendly. Account setup was smooth. Payment processing is super easy & quick which improved the cash flow.
  • I was paying all my bills through Chase and I am surprised to see the time automation has saved us. Easy to use with my Quickbooks.

Cons

  • I still need to use my bank for international payments as I can only send free payments via ACH or card transfers and USA businesses only. No phone support though but I found video calls are more than enough.
  • Relatively new platform, but I can't think of any at this point.
  • When it actually came time for customers to pay, they reported website slowness, difficulty linking/verifying their bank info. When it comes to support, it’s non existent. The only option they have is email support, don’t expect a fast response either.
  • First couple of payments for each client took time but got better & faster with time.
  • Every payment needs an OTP and it was a challenge during my overseas trip

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Very low fees. Much better than credit cards! Integration with Xero is excellent. Handles multi-currency as well.
  • I have been using GoCardless for my business since 2012. When we first started using them they were a small start-up and we had remained loyal and supportive of them for over 7 years.

Cons

  • Getting multi-currency setup correctly in Xero took a few extra steps and wasn't documented clearly at the time (we had to setup an additional clearing account in Xero). But the GoCardless support was very useful, and guided me to the Xero documentation I needed to follow.
  • Sadly their service today is nothing like it was in the past. Over the years there have been some issues with their service but they had generally been helpful in getting things fixed.
