Frequently asked questions
Want to find out more about Go Get Paid and how it works? Take a look at the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions below.

Go Get Paid generates professional, HMRC‑ready invoices that you can send directly as part of a payment request.
To create an invoice, go to Get Paid in the Go Get Paid app and select Create an Invoice.
Before you start, make sure your Organisation settings are set up. This defines your default invoice details—such as your business information, VAT settings, and payment terms—so your invoices are accurate and ready to send.
Customer groups let you organise clients into lists (e.g., “Monthly Subscribers” or “Wholesale Customers”), making it quicker to send the same payment request to multiple people.
Head to Customers and then Customer Groups in the Go Get Paid app. From there, you can create and organise groups to send bulk payment requests quickly.
Head to Get Paid. Get Paid with Invoice. When creating a new invoice, start adding your line items. Select Create New Product to add a new item, then enter the details you need. Save the product and it will be stored in your product list, so you can quickly add it to future invoices without re‑entering the information.
When someone requests a payment from you via the Go Get Paid app, you could receive the request by Link, Email, SMS or WhatsApp. If you are with the person you need to pay, they may ask you to scan a QR code instead.
When you click to make a payment, you will be taken to your mobile banking app or online bank account where you can send the money directly from your account, without needing to share any bank details. This gives you the complete confidence that you are only ever paying the correct person the correct amount of money.
If someone wants to send you a payment request via the Go Get Paid app, you will need either a mobile phone number or email address so that you can receive and respond to the request. If you are with the person you need to pay, you can scan a QR code without needing to share these details.
You must hold a UK bank account and your bank must be a participant of the Open Banking network. Most UK banks are now members, and if you do not see your bank in the app, check back again soon as new banks are joining regularly.
If you’re happy to make the payment, you can follow the simple instructions which will pass you to your banking app or online banking account to make the payment.
You should never make a payment to anyone that you don't recognise. If you receive a request and you're not sure who it is from or what it is for you can decline it. Of course, if you later realise that the request was meant for you or remember what it is for, you will still need to pay for your goods or services. You can contact us at support@gogetpaid.co.uk (mailto:support@gogetpaid.co.uk?subject=I have received a payment request that I don't recognise)if you have any concerns about unfamiliar requests.
The Go Get Paid mobile app is provided in association with The Co-operative Bank to help small businesses cut down on their financial administration and to help them get paid more quickly. Businesses with improved cashflow are more likely to thrive and grow.
The Co-operative Business bank accounts can support the collection of payments into accounts, but there is still work for the bank to do in order to allow payments to made out of accounts (both business and personal). This is why, at the moment, you can only receive funds and not make payments out - even when testing the service.
The bank is working hard to allow payments out, and as soon as the service is available, the Go Get Paid app will be updated to include the bank to the list of available paying banks.
The Go Get Paid team can both deactivate your account, as well as reactivate your account should you wish you use the service again. If, however, you want your account and data to be completely removed, please email your request to support@gogetpaid.co.uk (support@gogetpaid.co.uk)quoting the email address that you used upon registration and one of our team will be there to help.
