Recurring invoice GoCardless auto collection on 'due date'?
Idea suggested by Phil Jackson 10 years ago
Hi, This seems to be a massive floor in Clearbooks. Recurring invoices can be created with an option to auto collect via GoCardless however the API requests the payment within 3 days of the invoice being created instead of being requested on the invoices 'due date'?
Most of our clients are on 30 day terms which means that as an example an invoice that is generated on the 10th Oct, due on the 10th Nov will be collected on the 13th October! Surely it would be logical for the GoCardless request to happen on the due date?? This seems crazy.
The only way around the issue is to create the invoice 3 days before its due date however this is very poor for cashflow prediction as the invoice is only created 3 days before it gets paid!
Would it be possible to create a drop down option within the recurring payment setup page that has two options:
- Attempt to collect on creation date
- Attempt to collect on due date
This would prevent us from setting up recurring payment requests within GoCardless and then having to manually reconsile GoCardless bank statements to the associated invoices that recurring billing created.
Many thanks for your help with this. It will save us hours and hours of book keeping each month.
