You’ll see two sections on the "Payment Processing" page, To accept bank payments, turn on the "Accept Bank Payments (ACH) - $5 / month" toggle.

IMPORTANT:

  • Accepting ACH Payments will enable your clients to pay you with a bank account for transactions greater or equal to $20.00. This has lower fees, but can take a bit longer to receive your funds. Adding this feature will cost $5 per month and incur transaction fees of 1.9% + $0.30 per transaction, which is 33% cheaper than credit card payments.
  • ACH transactions can still be voided as long as they are still voidable in the processor.
  • As a fraud prevention step, we do not allow refunds on ACH transactions for 5 business days after the transactions have batched and are no longer voidable. This is because it’s possible for someone to submit an ACH transaction that will ultimately not be funded or intending to cancel the payment with the bank and then request a refund before the transaction is able to come back as returned.
  • Return/Reject fees for ACH transactions are $5 each and are also non-refundable just as chargeback fees.
  • Returned ACH transactions cannot be disputed like chargebacks on credit card transactions can.
  • You can turn off ACH payments at any time and cancel your ACH subscription.
