GoCardless + Krokul CRM

Yes. Krokul CRM integrates with GoCardless. A won deal sends the client a mandate request, each line of the payment plan is collected as a Direct Debit payment against that mandate, and a confirmed GoCardless payment closes the line in Krokul. It runs through the Krokul app in Zapier and Make, or through the Krokul API and webhooks.

  • Via API and webhooksYou connect it with the Krokul app in an automation platform, the public API and signed webhooks. The page lists the steps for this service.

What your team gets

A won deal asks the client for a mandate

Recurring B2B contracts often run on Direct Debit. When a deal is won, Krokul creates a GoCardless mandate authorisation request for the client company and puts the authorisation link on the deal. The manager sends it with the contract, and the client approves the mandate on the GoCardless page.

An active Mandate is stored on the client company

GoCardless reports the mandate as active once the client bank accepts it. Krokul saves the Mandate ID on the client company and marks the company as ready for collection, so the next invoice does not wait for paperwork.

The payment plan collects itself

Each payment plan line with a date and the method Direct Debit becomes a GoCardless Payment against the active mandate, with the line as reference. Krokul shows the GoCardless state next to it, so the accountant sees what is pending before the charge date.

A confirmed Payment closes the line, a failed one opens a task

When GoCardless confirms that the bank collected the money, Krokul records a payment fact on the plan line and fires payment.received. A failed Payment or a cancelled Mandate creates a task for the account manager. If GoCardless says it will retry the charge, Krokul waits for the retry before it creates the task.

Questions and answers

Does Krokul integrate with GoCardless?

Yes. Krokul integrates with GoCardless through the Krokul app in Zapier and Make, and through its API and webhooks.

When does a GoCardless payment count as received in Krokul?

GoCardless marks a payment confirmed when the bank has collected it and paid out when the money is on its way to you. You choose one of the two in your flow, and Krokul uses it for every client.

Where does Krokul keep the GoCardless mandate?

On the client company, as an external key with the mandate state. Every Direct Debit line of that client uses it.

What happens when a Direct Debit fails?

Krokul creates a task for the account manager on the deal. When GoCardless plans a retry, Krokul waits for its result first.

Limits

Mandates are authorised by the client on the GoCardless page, and payouts to your bank account stay in GoCardless. Krokul keeps the mandate state on the client company and the collected money on the deal.
