We've been a bit quiet recently with feature releases and updates, but don't be fooled by our quiet exterior! We've been working super hard in the background to bring you one of our most requested features: ACH.
ACH payments are simply another way to move money from one bank account to another without paying offline with cash or cheques, or using a credit card payment. If your business accepts credit and debit card payments, then you'll be familiar with the processing fees incurred using these payment methods. But did you know that ACH payments can cost significantly less than credit cards?
We're opening up our beta to customers who would like to test out this new payment method. During beta, you can use the feature, and provide us with any comments on things that don’t make sense, things it doesn’t do well, any bugs (when things don’t work) or just generally if it’s useful or not. Once we’ve had enough people using the beta feature for a while, we'll iron out any identified issues, and let everyone have access to it.
At the moment Billsby will only be supporting direct debit payments for ACH through Stripe in the US. We intend to add support for more direct debit schemes both in the US, and the rest of the world, in the not so distant future.
