Welcome to our Help Center guide on how to accept Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments through the Docket software. ACH payments offer a convenient and cost-effective way for businesses to receive payments electronically.
For more information on what ACH payments are - please review our guide here.
Currently you have two ways to accept ACH payments from your customers : your team can process an ACH payment internally for a customer, of your customer can pay their invoice online with ACH. ACH acceptance within the customer portal will be available in an upcoming update.
This guide will go through how to take an ACH payment internally, for information on how to instruct your customers to accept ACH please review this guide.
