GoCardless integration
This is a great payment collection for UK (and soon EU) customers. It uses bank transfers and direct debit and so is much cheaper and easier than PayPal. Kashflow already has it integrated.
We are delighted to announce the launch of new payment services integrations for Xero, including GoCardless: http://blog.xero.com/2013/05/get-paid-faster/
For more advanced uses such as recurring billing and pre-authorized charges, we recommend Add-on partner Directli: http://www.directli.co.uk/xero.html – they provide a comprehensive GoCardless-Xero integration with all the features required to manage direct debit customers.

We've been using GoCardless for a few weeks now and have started receiving the first payments. It's been so good that we have made itthe mandatory payment method for all new subscription customers or anyone wanting something special from us.

GoCardless looks good to me too, I'd like to know which are the more popular UK payment systems that are being considered so that I could have a look at them too and see if they fit in with ours and our clients requirements

FreeAgentCentral already has a GoCardless integration too. GoCardless is going to be revolutionary for SMEs in the B2B space. Miss it, miss out.

This would be great! GoCardless is very good. Am I right in thinking that there is nothing stopping a 3rd party developer from linking Xero and GoCardless as they both have APIs?

Another vote from me, as a user looking to use GoCardless and Xero across a number of businesses and recommend to others - I'm sure it will come, but hope that its sooner rather than later.

We were using Kashflow and loved the pay now button on the invoices that fed the payment through our merchant account - hadn't got as far as using Go Cardless before our accountant persuaded us to change to Xero. A big big downside for us is only having darned Paypal as an option for direct payment - so now it's back to having to take card details on the phone which is a big pain in the butt and gives us a real downer on Xero.
Any other payment options would be nice, but we've heard good things about Go Cardless so if it was available in Xero we would use it.

Another vote for this.
Currently using Kashflow with 3 separate companies and another currently in decision time mode.
Kashflow doesn't have multi-user access but Xero doesn't have GoCardless, so its the pro's and cons.
For me, whoever adds the missing feature first will get all 4 companies, as don't want to be dealing with 2 different packages. -

Kashflow is a good tool for small businesses and one-man bands. As businesses gets a little bigger with more complex accounting needs, Xero becomes a more appropriate choice.
It makes a lot of sense for Xero to integrate with GoCardless to be able to better service their customers and reduce their processing costs.
It creates a natural way for businesses usng GoCardless to move across to a Xero from another cloud accounting provider without having to change their payment gateway provider.
As a business owner, it makes me nervous to interfere with the method of collecting revenues for my business. It would be a natural decision to choose Xero as the cloud accounting provider if there was no complication involved with changing payment gateway providers. -

Am currently using Kashflow with a look to moving to Xero, and the GoCardless feature is invaluable.
I have emailed GoCardless asking them if they are looking at integrating with Xero and this is their response:-
"We're working on other integrations - if you'd like to see a Xero integration, we'd really appreciate it if you'd recommend us to them directly!"
So I emailed Xero and this is their response:-
"Currently we haven’t had sufficient demand for integration with GoCardless to prioritise this integration.
We are currently putting a lot of effort into our own API so that other developers can easily integrate other products with Xero. We encourage you to vote for this integration on our feature request site as 3rd party developers are actively looking at our top integration requests. Here’s a link to this if you haven’t already done so. "
And they sent me a link to here.
GoCardless are working on a work around for setting up Direct Debits outside of Kashflow which I have been told will be ready this later this week.
So if you know anyone who wants to use GoCardless with Xero get them here to Vote!

We are newbies with GoCardless and like it a lot so far (especially with our own branding). It would be great if it integrated with Xero, but I'm also up for other payment systems. Any tips?

I use GoCardless and have a tough choice to make and not integrating with xero may mean i use kashflow instead it a deal breaker.
