Here is what the file looks like that includes the SDK.

var keystone = require('keystone');

var gcConfig = {
    sandbox: true,
    appId: process.env.appId,
    appSecret: process.env.appSecret,
    token: process.env.token,
    merchantId: process.env.merchantId
};
var gocardless = require('gocardless')(gcConfig);

Seems like require('gocardless') is not returning a function. What version of gocardless module are you using? — Yalamber, Feb 28 '16 at 06:02
@Yalamber Latest (0.1.1), I have literally just done a npm install — , Feb 28 '16 at 06:07

Well, 0.1.1 seems to be older version. That documentation seems to be for latest version https://www.npmjs.com/package/gocardless the latest version seems to be 1.0.0-beta6. For some reason though you seem to be getting older version of module. Can you check, what version of node and npm you have? Also you can try installing latest module with npm install gocardless@1.0.0-beta6
