Accepting payments through bank transfers (ACH) offers a lower-cost, secure way for your customers to pay, and it can help you avoid some fees and disputes associated with card payments. If your business operates in the US or Canada, this payment method can be a valuable addition to your invoicing options.

📌 Why This Matters

Offering ACH payments gives your customers an alternative to credit or debit cards that often comes with lower fees and fewer disputes. This is especially helpful if you handle larger transactions, as bank transfers can be more reliable and cost-effective than card payments.

✨ What’s New

• Accept ACH Payments: You can now take bank transfers via ACH for accounts based in the US and Canada, providing a smooth payment option for your invoices.
• Lower Transaction Costs: ACH payments tend to have lower fees compared to credit or debit card transactions, saving you money over time.

2. Check with Your Payment Processor: Make sure ACH payments are activated on your payment processing account. If not, contact your provider to enable ACH.
3. Start Accepting Payments: Once ACH is enabled, customers will see it as a payment choice on their invoices when they pay.
