GoCardless has partnered with Bluefort. GoCardless has integrated its payments platform with Bluefort LISA, a subscription management that runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365. The new integration will allow businesses to manage their billing, payments and accounting directly within Dynamics 365.
The new integration is free through the Bluefort TAPP payment automation platform. The integration will enable Dynamics 365 users across applications such as Finance & Supply Chain Management, Dynamics for Sales and Business Central to leverage direct debits and open banking payments. The solution also automatically reconciles transactions.
An integration that delivers benefits
Organisations can rapidly integrate payments to any subscription plan, and it is simple to onboard customers. The integration allows customers to take advantage of some of the features within the GoCardless platform. These include: GoCardless Success+ to optimise payment retries and Instant Bank Pay. Instant Bank Pay enables an open banking solution that is safer and cheaper than processing card details for a one-off transaction. It enables Bluefort customers to add additional payment options to customers and removes a barrier to adoption.
Edward Borg Grech, CEO at Bluefort, commented, “We’re excited to introduce the GoCardless integration so users can access an incredibly easy process to manage their payments, all within the Dynamics 365 platforms they use every day. By working with an industry leader and leveraging their unique global bank payment network, we can offer merchants cutting-edge payment solutions wherever they do business, boosting their top and bottom line.”
For customers, this is a partnership that already works. Eivind Hesjadalen, CFO at Ibexa, commented, “LISA now takes care of billing automation and execution, paving the way for more focus on innovation and customer focus.”
Seb Hempstead, VP of Partnerships at GoCardless, said, “We believe that bank payments are the best way to get paid. Not only can they help you get paid faster and save time and money, they can also increase customer conversion and retention. Our partnership with Bluefort will be key to helping us spread the word. With Microsoft Dynamics 365 used by thousands of companies, from household names like Coca-Cola and Adobe to beloved local businesses, we can put bank payments at the heart of the modern economy.”
Enterprise Times: What does this mean
This announcement adds another partner to the GoCardless ecosystem of more than 350 partners. However, Bluefort brings the potential for accessing the massive Microsoft Dynamics 365 market. Headquartered in Malta, it works with 68 partners worldwide, including global system integrators such as Avanade, Accenture and Sopra Steria.
The partnership also gives Bluefort customers a greater choice of how to manage their subscription payments, opening up new opportunities for growth.
