Stripe ACH

How It Works

Using Stripe ACH payment, the customer will be able to log-in to their bank account and select an account to link. This "Instant Verification" will allow the user to place the order and immediately initiate ACH payment. ACH Transfer may take 1-4 business days to process depending on the financial institution being linked.

Once a Bank Account is Linked, it will be available to select for future Orders and on the Invoice Payment screen for both the Customer and the Zoey Administrator.

When the order is placed, a payment intent in Stripe will be initiated and processed. In Zoey the invoice/payment will not be created until the Bank Transfer is complete. Please note, if ACH is used for placing the order, the payment transfer will be processed, it will not wait for the order to ship. Depending on the Financial Connection processing the transfer could take a few minutes to a few days. If the ACH Transfer fails, the Order will be canceled.

Step 1: Setup Stripe for ACH

Part 1: Enable Stripe's "Financial Connections"

Note: If you do not complete this step, the following message will be shown when trying to use ACH for Payment: You are not registered to use Financial Connections. Please submit your registration at https://dashboard.stripe.com/financial-connections/application

❗️

Stripe must approve your Financial Application to enable ACH

To get approved for Stripe ACH Production, Stripe has to approve your Financial Application. Stripe calls this "Financial Connections." Their email often comes from [email protected].

Once your application is received by Stripe, they may take several business days to approve it. Once approved, you may set ACH to Live mode in Stripe, and then you can switch Zoey ACH to Production/Live.
