GoCardless for WooCommerce POS
GoCardless direct-debit at the Oliver POS register for UK and EU WooCommerce.
Powered through the GoCardless for WooCommerce plugin — install it on WordPress, configure under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, and Oliver picks it up at the register automatically.
How GoCardless works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
GoCardless is the leading direct-debit and account-to-account payments provider in the UK and Europe. Oliver POS opens GoCardless's hosted authorisation inside the in-POS browser view via the official WooCommerce plugin.
GoCardless does direct debit at scale
GoCardless is a UK-headquartered fintech that has built a global direct-debit platform — UK Bacs, European SEPA, US ACH, Australian BECS. For subscription businesses and recurring-billing retailers, GoCardless removes card fees and chargeback risk while letting customers pay from their bank account on a predictable schedule.
GoCardless in the Oliver POS browser view
The GoCardless WooCommerce plugin opens GoCardless's hosted authorisation page. From the Oliver register, the cashier picks GoCardless; Oliver opens the page in the in-POS browser view; the customer enters their account details (IBAN for SEPA, sort code + account for UK Bacs); GoCardless authorises and stores the mandate; Oliver writes the WooCommerce order. The customer's bank is debited 3-5 days later.
Instant Bank Pay for at-the-counter use
For one-off in-store purchases (not subscriptions), GoCardless offers Instant Bank Pay — an open-banking flow where the customer authorises a one-off transfer from their bank's mobile app. Oliver POS surfaces this through the in-POS browser view and the funds arrive instantly.
Best fit for retailers who…
Pick GoCardless at the Oliver POS if you have a subscription/recurring component (gyms, cafés with weekly subscriptions, repair-plan retailers), or if you sell higher-ticket B2B and want a UK Bacs or SEPA Direct Debit option to skip card fees.
