Can Dwolla also handle credit card payments?

    Hello,

    While Dwolla is primarily geared toward ACH payments, I am wondering if it can also handle credit card payments (if a customer prefers that option).  Optimally they'd be able to choose their preferred payment option.

    Thanks!

    UPDATE: Unfortunately, Dwolla is discontinuing its product as of October 2018. But if you’re looking for an alternative to collect ACH payments through your forms, you can check out other great alternatives here.

     

    I'm checking Dwolla wesbite, however, it seems like they do not allow credit/debit card as payment method in their gateway.

    So far here are the related discussions I have in their site:

    http://discuss.dwolla.com/t/will-dwolla-add-credit-cards-like-paypal/62/10 

    http://blog.dwolla.com/real-time-payments/ 

     

    Looks like Dwolla is focused entirely on ACH (Automated Clearing House). We are integrating Dwolla to our payment tools using their API, however, it is solely on Dwolla's end if they will accept credit/debit cards as a payment method on their gateway, you could directly ask their support team about this for confirmation. I might be missing something on their FAQs.

    Thank you for looking into this.  Would it be easy to offer customers a choice of paying by Dwolla (ACH) or Stripe (credit card), in a seamless way, on the same form?

    Jotform does not allow using multiple payment integrations on one form. However, you can implement multiple payment integrations in a form by creating a form for each payment integration. When you finish creating the forms with payment integrations you need to embed those forms in your main form via iFrame. 

    You can take a look at this guide on how to do that.

    Please let us know if this works for you.
