# How to Add GoCardless as a Payment Method
> Configure GoCardless payment gateway
Setting up **GoCardless payment gateway** in Upmind requires both an **access token** and a **webhook endpoint**. These allow Upmind to securely communicate with GoCardless, receive mandate and payment events, and automatically update invoice statuses when payments clear.
## **Creating a GoCardless access token**
1. Log in to your GoCardless account at [manage.gocardless.com](http://manage.gocardless.com).
2. Go to the `Developers` section.
3. Click **Create** and select **Access Token**.
4. Enter a name for your access token and select the appropriate scope:
1. **Read Only Access**: Allows users to view data without making any changes. Ideal for accessing information without the risk of modification.
2. **Read-Write Access**: Grants permission to both view and modify data. Required for actions such as creating payments, updating records, or managing customers.
5. Click **Create Access Token**.
6. Copy the access token displayed (you will not be able to view this token again, so save it securely).
7. In Upmind, go to your GoCardless `Payment Provider` settings.
8. Paste the access token into the designated field and click **Save**.
## **Setting up the webhook endpoint**
1. Log in to your [GoCardless account](https://manage.gocardless.com/) and go to the `Developers` section.
2. Click **Create** and select `Webhook endpoint`.
3. Enter a name for the webhook.
4. Set the URL to: [https://api.upmind.io/payments/gocardless/callback](https://api.upmind.io/payments/gocardless/callback).
5. Leave the **Secret** field blank (GoCardless will generate a secure secret for you).
6. Click **Create Webhook Endpoint**.
7. After creation, click on the new webhook endpoint to view its details.
8. Copy the **Secret** generated by GoCardless.
9. In Upmind, paste the webhook secret into your GoCardless `Payment Provider` settings and click **Save**.
