Customer story

"As we were setting up the business and building our systems, whether we were speaking with ClubRight or alternatives, GoCardless kept being recommended to us for payments."

Collecting from the bank, not the card

GoCardless collects money straight from a member's bank account by Direct Debit. Because no card is involved, payments do not fail when a card expires or gets replaced after a fraud alert, which is the most common reason a monthly membership quietly stops paying. Alongside recurring Direct Debit it can take one-off payments through Open Banking, useful for a joining fee, a course, or clearing an arrears balance without asking someone to read out card details.

Run from the member record

Where a club already uses GoCardless, mandates and collections are handled from inside ClubRight rather than logging into a separate dashboard to work out who has paid. Getting started is short: open a GoCardless account, complete their verification checks, connect it, then start collecting. Their ClubRight partner page states no sign-up costs, no commitments and no hidden fees. Check their current pricing for the per-transaction rate before you decide.

How to choose between this and ClubRight Pay

ClubRight Pay is our own UK payment offering and is what most UK clubs come on board with. GoCardless is fully supported and is the right answer in two situations in particular: you already run on it and would rather not move, or you collect in euros in the Republic of Ireland, where GoCardless handles SEPA Direct Debit directly. Either way the collections show against the member's record.

FAQ

GoCardless and ClubRight

Does GoCardless integrate with ClubRight?

Yes. Manage and automatically reconcile all your payments from within ClubRight, with mandates created the moment a member signs up.

What does GoCardless do?

Direct Debit payment collection.

Do I have to use GoCardless to use ClubRight?

No. Nothing in the ClubRight Connect directory is a requirement and nothing is tied to your account. Use your own supplier if you already have one — the directory exists to save you the research, not to steer you.

Does ClubRight charge extra for this?

No — ClubRight doesn’t add a fee for a partner being listed or connected. Whatever GoCardless charges for their own product is between you and them. Nobody pays to appear in this directory.
