Why Connect GoCardless to Make?

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep GoCardless and Make aligned

Reporting across GoCardless and Make requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Online orders in GoCardless and in-store inventory in Make are never in sync, frustrating customers

No single source of truth when payments live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Manually copying data between GoCardless and Make wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Client engagement details in GoCardless and time-tracking data in Make do not align, making billing inaccurate

Make adds complexity: steeper learning curve than Zapier, particularly for non-technical users unfamiliar with the concepts of routers, iterators, and data mapping

How We Help

Australian mid-market businesses lose hours every week copying payments and mandates between GoCardless and Make. Clever Ops builds a custom integration that automates this entire workflow, so your team can redirect that time to higher-value tasks. On the technical side, GoCardless uses a REST + Webhook API, which our team handles as part of the build.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying data between GoCardless and Make by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

Real-Time Visibility Across Teams

When a record updates in GoCardless, every team member working in Make sees the change instantly. No lag, no stale dashboards, no conflicting reports.

Amplify GoCardless Strengths

GoCardless excels because direct debit payments via bank-to-bank transfers cost significantly less than card payments, saving 50-80% on transaction fees. Connecting it to Make ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Unlock Make Value

Make stands out because visual scenario builder with a node-based interface is more intuitive for complex multi-step workflows than Zapier linear approach. Integrating it with GoCardless means your team gets this benefit with complete, accurate data flowing in automatically.
