Direct Debit / Standing Order Forms

[TomFX]

Hi,

I'm sending out a mailshot to specific businesses in my area and getting a reasonable response rate.

Customers are asked to pay online, usually by PayPal, at a specific website address. The payments are subscription based.

I was wondering if there is anyway to get these payments done by Direct Debit or Standing Order. Is this possible? And is there a form I can send to them so that they can simple fill it out and forward it to the bank?

If you have ever been a student and lived in rented accommodation, you (or your parents) will have inevitably filled out a form which allowed your landlord to collect the rent every month by standing order.

I would suggest going to your bank, explaining that you require the facility to collect regular monthly payments from clients, and they will provide all of the necessary documentation.

Hi,

Thanks for that. Seems I need to create a 'standing order mandate', and also set up a separate bank account.

Should be done by tomorrow.

Thanks
