GoCardless analytics from your own data
Direct-debit payments from your GoCardless account, analysis-ready.
What you can learn from your GoCardless data
Once GoCardless is connected, these are the questions your data can answer. Each one has a free tool that shows the method on a sample first.
What data it brings
- payments: Direct-debit payments, newest first: status, created and charge dates, currency, amount and refunded amount, and mandate and subscription ids (no descriptions, names or bank details).
A question you can ask
“What is the total amount by status?”
Ask it in your own words. You get the answer, with the steps that made it.
How to connect it
You connect with a key you create in your GoCardless account. It takes a few minutes.
- In your MCP Analytics account, open Connectors and choose GoCardless. The setup form opens there.
- In the GoCardless dashboard open Developers, then API settings. Only Admins can create tokens.
- Choose Create at the top right, then the access token option. Select a read-only scope if the dashboard offers one, name it, and copy the token.
- Paste it into the setup form. The connection only reads payments.
GoCardless help page for this step →
We test the connection before we save it, so you know right away if a step was missed.
What we keep, and how to disconnect
We keep the key or login you give us, encrypted, and use it only to read the data you ask about. Other accounts cannot see your connections. To stop, open Connectors in your account and choose Remove on the GoCardless row; that deletes the saved key. You can also cancel the key in GoCardless itself.
Questions
What can I learn from my GoCardless data?
You can see what the next weeks or months may look like, patterns that repeat by week, month or season, and days or numbers that look out of the ordinary. Each one has a free tool that shows the method on a sample.
Will this change anything in my GoCardless account?
No. We only read. Nothing in GoCardless is changed.
Can I use a file instead?
Yes. Export a CSV from GoCardless and upload it. Connecting just saves you the export each time.
Can I combine GoCardless with my other data?
Yes. Connect each source, then ask a question that names both.
