About this Product
GoCardless Direct Debit for Business Central is a build-to-order AL extension that brings GoCardless's bank-debit network directly into your Dynamics 365 Business Central tenant — no manual exports, no separate portal, no copy-pasting payment references.
ECOSIRE designs and builds the extension against your chart of accounts, customer ledger and posting setup, then installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem). It is not an instant Microsoft AppSource download — it is tailored to how your business actually invoices and collects.
Under the hood it adds table and page extensions to Customer, Sales Invoice and Payment records, plus dedicated GoCardless mandate and payment tables. AL event subscribers hook the standard posting and payment-journal flows, while a Job Queue entry polls the GoCardless REST API for mandate, payment and payout status. OAuth/access-token credentials are stored in isolated storage, scoped behind a dedicated permission set.
Customers are onboarded to a Direct Debit mandate (hosted authorisation flow or pre-authorised import). Once a mandate is active, ECOSIRE wires collection so posted sales invoices are submitted to GoCardless across Bacs, SEPA Core, ACH Debit, BECS, Autogiro and PAD in the currency you trade in. When GoCardless pays out, the extension reconciles the payout to the originating invoices, posts processing fees to the G/L account you nominate, and applies customer payments automatically. Failed or late-failed collections are surfaced with retry handling so dunning stays accurate.
Optional extras include Dataverse / Power Platform surfacing of mandate status and webhook-driven near-real-time updates. Everything ships with documentation, a permission set, and ECOSIRE support.
What you get
- A per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app) built to your posting and currency setup and installed on your environment
- GoCardless API integration (live + sandbox) configured with your account, scoped to your active schemes
- Dedicated permission set and isolated-storage credential configuration

- Post-deployment support window with bug fixes and BC monthly-update compatibility checks
Who this is for
Finance / AR Manager at a subscription business
Runs recurring billing across the UK and EU and wants invoices collected by direct debit automatically, with payouts and fees reconciled inside BC instead of in spreadsheets.
Business Central Administrator
Owns the tenant and needs a cleanly-installed, permission-scoped per-tenant extension that survives monthly BC updates rather than ad-hoc customisations or manual API scripts.
Operations lead at an EU/UK/AU SME
Trades in multiple currencies and needs Bacs, SEPA, BECS or ACH collections handled in one system, with failed payments flagged so dunning and cash-flow forecasting stay correct.

Frequently Asked Questions about GoCardless Direct Debit for Business Central
How long does delivery take, and how is it installed?
This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource download. After a short scoping call to confirm your schemes, currencies and posting setup, typical delivery is around one working week depending on complexity. ECOSIRE builds the AL extension, tests it against a GoCardless sandbox, then installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem) and runs a handover session with your team.
What ongoing support and updates are included?
The one-time build includes a post-deployment support window covering bug fixes and compatibility checks against Microsoft's monthly Business Central updates. Because it ships as a version-pinned per-tenant extension, ECOSIRE can re-test and re-publish it ahead of major BC releases. Ongoing support, feature additions or new GoCardless schemes can be arranged under a separate maintenance or change-request agreement.
Do I need my own GoCardless account?
Yes. You hold the GoCardless merchant account and the underlying scheme registrations (for example Bacs Service User Number or SEPA creditor identifier). ECOSIRE connects the extension to your account via the GoCardless REST API and configures live and sandbox credentials in BC isolated storage — we never store your keys in plain text or shared config.
Which direct-debit schemes and currencies are supported?
The extension supports the schemes GoCardless offers — Bacs (GBP), SEPA Core (EUR), ACH Debit (USD), BECS (AUD), Autogiro (SEK) and PAD (CAD) — matched to the bank accounts and currencies you trade in. We enable the specific schemes you use during scoping; others can be added later as your GoCardless account expands.
Will this break when Business Central updates each month?
It is built as a proper AL per-tenant extension using event subscribers and table/page extensions rather than modifying base objects, which is the supported, upgrade-safe approach. ECOSIRE pins the extension to your BC version and validates it against Microsoft's release waves. If a future platform change affects an integration point, the post-deployment support window covers the fix.
Can mandate and collection data appear in Power Platform or Power BI?
Yes, as an optional extra. The extension can surface mandate status, payments and payouts through the BC API/OData so they are available to Power BI dashboards, and mandate state can be projected into Dataverse for use in Power Apps portals or Power Automate flows. This is scoped and priced during the build.
