GoCardless Catch Weight

WooCommerce GoCardless Addon

Charge after you know the real weight

If you sell products where the final price depends on weight, you’ve probably run into a frustrating limitation with WooCommerce and most payment gateways…

Particularly for businesses that sell fresh produce like meat, fish, cheese, or any bulk good retailers, the reality is simple:
you don’t always know the exact price at the moment the customer places the order.

That’s where our custom GoCardless catch weight plugin comes in, perfect for wholesale/trade portals and pay-by-weight scenarios.

  • No friction for customers placing orders
  • Admin option to adjust line totals
  • Direct Debit payment captured once confirmed

The result?

  • No costly partial refunds, or overcharging ahead of time
  • Cleaner accounting
  • Works as an extension to GoCardless with extra configurable options

Our plugin introduces a “mandate now, charge later” workflow using GoCardless

We work with businesses where pricing by weight is essential, margins are tight and manual adjustments were costing time and money. Our plugin aligns the WooCommerce platform with how wholesale/catch weight supply actually works.

  1. Select any eligible past order
  2. Convert it into a subscription in a single action

Behind the scenes, the plugin:

  1. Creates a wholesale order using a custom Direct Debit payment method, without taking payment at checkout
  2. Uses the existing GoCardless configuration to create and store a secure mandate against the customer account
  3. Allows staff to adjust product weights, quantities, and final totals during fulfilment
  4. Provides a “Charge Customer” action in the order admin to trigger a payment using the stored mandate
  5. Sends the final amount to GoCardless and records the payment ID to prevent duplicate charges
