New Integration: Use Stripe ACH for Direct Bank Payments

If you’re looking to collect payments for larger transaction amounts, Automated Clearing House (ACH) makes more sense than credit cards. ACH draws money directly from and to bank accounts. It’s secure, fast, and incredibly popular.

That’s why we’re thrilled to offer Stripe ACH as a payment collection option. Using Stripe ACH, you can easily turn your form into a revenue tool that accepts high transaction value payments quickly. This option is great if you sell high-priced items, collect rent payments, sell top-of-the-line event tickets, or have a donation form for higher value gift givers.

The Stripe ACH integration works through Plaid, a platform that connects bank accounts to apps. For this integration to work, you’ll need both a Plaid and Stripe account.

Stripe has been a Jotform partner for several years, and they started offering ACH recently as a payment option.
