As a freelance web developer

As a freelance web developer, sending payment links for project milestones is a dream. No more chasing invoices, just quick payments. EUR is missing, I hope it will be available soon.

Didn’t expect to find a full-blown…

Didn’t expect to find a full-blown payment system in a free business account, but here we are.

I wasn't planning to write a review

I wasn't planning to write a review, but the recent payment links update is an absolute game-changer: I use the reusable links instead of invoices all the time!

Super quick onboarding

Wow, fantastic super quick onboarding. Looking forward to using the platform straight away!

I’ve been using GoSolo for a while now

I’ve been using GoSolo for a while now, and it’s made managing my taxes so much easier.

Great for non UK residents

GoSolo made setting up my UK company and sort code account as a non-UK resident incredibly easy! The onboarding was seamless and lightning-fast, even on a weekend. The app and web admin are intuitive, speedy, and a joy to use. I’m beyond thrilled with the service—highly recommend

My customers love the tap to pay

My customers love the tap to pay feature and how easy it is to pay with their phones. It’s made my checkout process faster than ever without buying any POS terminals.

Awesome app and support

Awesome app and support. I contacted them with a very specific question about company formation and received very quick email support.

All good here

All good here. Really handy that my accountant can see all the transactions too.

I’m working freelance and GoSolo is...

I’m working freelance and GoSolo is such a great tool for creating invoices at the end of the month. The app is amazing and everything is just so easy to use.

Needed a business account quick

Needed a business account quick, and GoSolo sorted me out. Simple to use, even for someone like me who's not the most tech-savvy. Five stars from me!

Decent app

Decent app, does what it says. Easy to set up, and I've had no problems with it so far. The customer support was helpful when I had a quick question too.

Great service

Still can't believe how easy it was to register my Ltd company. Great service for switching over from being a sole trader. And the invoice reminders are a lifesaver – really helps me get paid on time.

Compare us to Stripe, Barclays, or Tide. We’re cheaper. Every. Single. Time.

FAQ: GoSolo for Developers and IT Pros

Do I need to be a UK resident to open an account?

You don’t need to live in the UK, but you do need a UK-registered Ltd company.
GoSolo helps you set it up if you don’t have one — fully online, no UK address or director residency required. Check our Non-UK residents plan for more information.

Can I invoice in other currencies?

Every GoSolo invoice has a built-in payment link, so your clients can pay in their local currency (USD, EUR etc.), and the amount is converted to GBP at the card issuer’s rate. There are no added conversion fees from GoSolo.

Can I withdraw funds to my personal account?

Yes. You can transfer funds from your GoSolo business account to any UK personal account at any time, with no extra charges.

Can I use GoSolo if I work with international clients?

Absolutely. You can accept payments from international clients via card (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay, and Google Pay. All payments settle in GBP directly into your GoSolo account.

How do I get paid with GoSolo?

You can request a payment via local bank transfer or get paid by card – simply generate branded invoices or create payment links to share with clients via email, chat, or SMS. Clients pay via card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay — no account or app needed on their side.

Is GoSolo suitable for SaaS, marketplaces or digital products?

GoSolo works best for freelance developers, consultants, agencies, and small service-based businesses. If you're running a full SaaS with subscriptions or mass payouts, other solutions may be better — but for solo or small-scale services, GoSolo is ideal.

What are the card processing fees in GoSolo?

GoSolo uses Interchange++ pricing:
0.5% + £0.20 per transaction — for all card payment methods, including Tap to Pay, payment links, invoices, etc. That’s often up to 4x cheaper than Stripe or PayPal for UK and EU clients.

Does GoSolo integrate with accounting tools like Xero?

Yes. GoSolo has built-in Xero integration for seamless bookkeeping. You can also export transactions in CSV format and invite your accountant as a free team member.

Does GoSolo work with Stripe, PayPal or other gateways?

You don’t need them — GoSolo offers its own payment solution, powered by Adyen, with lower fees than Stripe or PayPal. If needed, you can still connect external tools manually, but most developers find GoSolo replaces them entirely.

How long does it take to receive my payments?

Instantly or almost instantly. All payments settle directly to your GoSolo account — no batching, no delays.

Business account for developers and tech professionals

You’re building something brilliant — let GoSolo handle the business bits.

Most platforms are built for big corporates or retailers - not small businesses.
