v2.32 (Summer '25)
New features: PayTo support
We’re excited to introduce support for PayTo, a next-generation payment method enabled by the New Payments Platform (NPP) in Australia and powered by GoCardless.
How it works
PayTo allows customers to authorise real-time, pull-based payments directly from their bank accounts, offering improved speed, transparency, and control over recurring or one-off transactions.
Unlike traditional direct debits:
- PayTo mandates are established and managed digitally.
- Provides immediate verification and greater visibility to the customer.
Activate PayTo
If upgrading from a previous Asperato version, you need to update the Page Layouts of these Asperato objects to include PayTo fields.
Except for Start Date and End Date, all fields are mandatory for PayTo mandates.
- PayTo Description
- PayTo Start Date
- PayTo End Date
- PayTo Maximum Amount Per Payment
- PayTo Maximum Number of Payments
- PayTo Period
- PayTo Purpose Code
You also need to add PayTo to Picklist Value Set:
- On Setup, navigate to Objects and Fields > Picklist Value Sets > Payment Route Options.
- Click New.
- In the text area, type PayTo and click Save. You should now see PayTo listed among the available values for Payment Route Options.
Next, you will need to assign PayTo to the Inbound Record Type Picklist for Payment Route Selected and Payment Route Options picklist field on Asperato Payment, Asperato Authorisation and Asperato Refund objects:
- On Setup, navigate to Object Manager.
- In the list of objects, select Asperato Payment.
- On the Asperato Payment object detail page, click Record Types in the left-hand menu.
- Click on the Inbound Record Type name to access its details and edit it.
- Scroll down to the Picklists available for Editing section and locate the picklist field named Payment Route Options. Click the Edit link next to it.
- Select Payto under the Available Values column and click the Add button. This should move it to the Selected Values column. Optionally, use the dropdown box below to set a default value.
- Click Save.
- Return to the Inbound Record Type page and repeat the process with the Payment Route Selected picklist field. Lastly, do the same with the Asperato Authorisation and Asperato Refund objects.
Setup PayTo as payment method
- Navigate to the Asperato Setup tab under your chosen Merchant Group and click the New PSP Connection button.
- Set these parameters:
- PSP: GoCardless.
- Mode: PayTo.
- Click Create PSP Connection.
- Enter your GoCardless credentials.
- Create your Payment and/or Authorisation records with PayTo included in the Payment Route Options.
How to use
- Create your Authorisation or Payment record with PayTo in the Payment Route Options field.
- Populate the required PayTo fields on the Authorisation/Payment record.
- For Payments with In Force Authorisations:
- You can omit the PayTo Description and Purpose Code on the Payment (they will be inherited).
- If included manually, they must match the attached Authorisation.
- For combined Authorisation and Payment:
- Set PayTo Description and Purpose Code on both records, and they must match.
- Send the customer the eCommerce URL — the PayTo option will appear on the PayPage.
Important notes
- The PayTo payment flow redirects to a GoCardless-hosted interface.
- If embedded in your web journey, align styling with GoCardless branding guidelines for a seamless user experience.
- PayTo is not available via MOTO mode due to required customer bank app authentication.
- As PayTo is still being rolled out and adopted, if the bank doesn't support it yet, GoCardless will automatically revert to using the older, established BECS Direct Debit system for that payment. If so, the payment details will switch to:
- Payment Route Option = PayTo
- Payment Route Selected = Direct Debit
