Great, just for little payments the charges update had changed our way to work with that. For the rest, we love it.
Pros
with team-up integration i win so much time. recurrent memberships payments.So easy way to develop payment in our boxes.
Cons
possibility to decrease charges for little payment. 0,20centimes for little payment is so big. in the past we used for so much payment now it's too expensive for little payment. 0,20cent add-on has been living like an horrible news for us.. We need to use stripe now for that.
Reasons for Switching to GoCardless

We used Gocardless since 2015, I discovered the product in 2020 and I recommend it because the product is still ramping up, more ergonomic and try to add in France the "instant direct banking" to earn efficacity an security.
Pros
What I like in Gocardless is his reliability, we connected it to our acconting system, ours emails adress, our software and also at our internal communication. It's posible to deal with our reccuring billing but also one time payments. Success+ is also a good product of Gocardless to which automatically restarts failures.
Cons
I'm a little bit of disappointed the time to recover the money between the billing and the money in our bank account. It's between 8 and 14 days.

I HATE this business!! They are the absolute worst. They allow you accept payments from customers, and THEN they suspend your account. The "Account Review" team can ONLY be reached by email and then NEVER respond. They have over $40,000 of my funds and have holding my account hostage for over two weeks and counting...
Pros
The provide of their service, which they have broken.
Cons
Everything about actually working with them.

Go Cardless were very hard to deal with, especially when we set up a dedicated truct account to recieve inbound payments. It was very hard to get GoCardless to recognise this account, even though it was specifically just for payments that were to be made via Go Cardless.
Pros
It provided a solution that allowed our customers to authorise Direct Debit payments for recurring payment amounts.
Cons
We are based in NZ and it was very hard to contact them.
We stopped using GoCardless because the fees were to expensive for low value payments.
It is actually possible to direct debit money from a persons account without obtaining their permission.
