Hi,

On 31 October our Direct Debit payment provider will be retiring its
v1 API (now called legacy). I believe I've made the changes
necessary to switch to the new API, but I would like some volunteers
to help test it out before I put live payments through it.

If you are currently paying by Direct Debit (or are willing to start
doing so) and happy to help out with some testing, please could you
reply off-list? If you don't have an invoice coming up soon then I
will probably want to trigger some small charges that will get
credited to your account.

Unfortunately the new API doesn't come with much in the way of
improvements neither for customers or for BitFolk: although it does
support payments in EUR and SEK, it requires BitFolk to have bank
accounts denominated in those currencies and bill in those
currencies, which isn't something I want to do at the moment. Also
there is a new minimum transaction fee of £0.20.

There's no choice if I want to keep accepting Direct Debit payments
though, which I very much do.

Cheers,
Andy
