How ACH Direct Debit payment works

When a customer wants to make a payment using ACH Direct Debit, they will need to provide their bank account information, such as their account number and routing number. However, before the payment can be processed, the customer must first accept a mandate that gives legal permission to initiate future direct debits for the customer's payments.

To ensure the ownership of the account and prevent fraudulent activity, there are two common methods used for verification: instant verification and micro-deposits.

Once the ownership of the account is verified and the mandate is accepted, you can initiate direct debits from the customer's bank account to receive payments. This payment method offers a convenient way for customers to make payments directly from their bank accounts without the need for a physical card.

Affirm

Affirm is a payment method which is popular in the US and Canada. It offers customers the ability to split their purchases into multiple payments, providing flexibility and allowing them to manage their finances more effectively.

How Affirm payment works

Affirm offers two different payment options depending on the size of the customer's cart order: Pay in 4 and Monthly Installments.

1. Pay in 4: Customers can pay for their purchases in four or fewer interest-free installments. These payments are made bi-weekly over an 8-week term. This option allows customers to spread out the cost of their purchase without incurring any interest charges.
2. Monthly Installments: For larger purchases, Affirm offers the ability to pay in monthly installments over a longer period of up to 36 months. However, depending on the terms, these monthly installments may include interest charges.

The important thing to note is that Affirm uses an algorithm to present customers with the payment options that are most likely to result in higher conversion rates. This means that instead of you, as the business owner, choosing specific payment options for customers, Affirm determines the most suitable options for each customer based on their purchase and financial profile.
