Direct debit mandate via API

1

Hi there,

We want to create a registration form for customers, which will include setting up a direct debit mandate with GoCardless/FreeAgent and then create a recurring invoice.

Is this acheivable via the FreeAgent APIs?

If not, can we create the Direct Debit mandate with GoCardless via their APIs and then associate it with a FreeAgent Contact and recurring invoice?

Thank you.

Dear Roy,

Josh here from FreeAgent. I’m afraid this isn’t currently possible with our API, but I can definitely appreciate why you’d want to be able to use one approach or the other. I will raise these as feature requests with the team.

Thanks for getting in touch!
Josh

Thanks Josh. I’m trying to think of workarounds given the FreeAgent API doesn’t have the features we need.

If we create a direct debit via GoCardless manually (or via the GoCardless API), can we associate this with a customer in FreeAgent via API?

How can we associate recurring payments from GoCardless with recurring invoices in FreeAgent via API (so we don’t need to do do manually association).
