GoCardless (YC S11) Launches PayLinks, A Bitly For Payments
- rayhano 14y agoGreat idea, but the implementation seems to lack UX thought. So many clicks to sign up and know what you're actually signing up to. A quick user feedback session could help fix this. I assume this is a rival feature to Gumroad's approach in the States?
- rbn 14y agoYou are %100 correct. I was going to use Dwolla as my app's payment processor but their signup processes is horrible. So I opted for stripe.
- rayhano 14y agoAre Dwolla and Stripe really comparable? One reduces the cost of payments and the other is a pretty UI just for card based transactions.
- middus 14y agoLooks a lot like https://gumroad.com https://gumroad.com to me, but without the need to have a credit card.
- dabeeeenster 14y agoWe are using this and it's brilliant. The only thing missing (which I'm told is coming) is a user-definable Thank-You url. Without it we can't finish our goal funnel tracking. But the integration is crazy simple - took us 1 minute to get set up.
- hirokitakeuchi 14y agoThat is coming very very soon!
- pbreit 14y agoSpeed of setup is certainly nice and makes for an excellent demo but over time is almost totally irrelevant. As you note, far more important for a service to actually solve customer needs. If it had taken a half hour, a day or a week to set up but delivered increased sales, it would be much more compelling. Doubly so for this bank transfer-based service which is already quite slow compared to credit card based services.
- karl_freeman 14y agoNice to see Groupay coming back to its roots with this. Good work guys.

- josscrowcroft 14y agoThis looks fantastic - hope to try it out soon. Worldwide expansion of a simple service like this would be amazing.
