How Do I Accept a Bank Transfer WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:48 am

There are a few things you’ll need in order to accept bank transfers as payments in WooCommerce. First, you’ll need to have a business checking account that can accept ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments.

Many banks offer this type of account, so you should check with your bank to see if they offer this service. Once you have a business checking account that can accept ACH payments, you’ll need to set up your WooCommerce store to accept bank transfers.

To do this, go to the WooCommerce settings page and click on the “Payment Methods” tab. Then, click on the “Add New” button to add a new payment method.

Select “Bank Transfer” from the list of options and enter your account details. Be sure to save your changes before exiting the settings page.

PRO TIP: When accepting a bank transfer in WooCommerce, it is important to take into account the following:

-The customer may not have the required amount in their account, which could lead to an overdraft.

-To avoid any misunderstandings, it is best to send a confirmation email to the customer once the bank transfer has been processed.

-It is also worth checking with your bank in advance to see if there are any charges associated with processing a bank transfer.

Once your store is configured to accept bank transfers, customers will be able to select this payment method at checkout. When they do, they’ll be given instructions on how to complete the payment.

Typically, customers will need to log in to their online banking account and initiate a transfer from their account to yours. The customer will need to enter your account number and routing number, which can be found on your checks or in your online banking portal.

Once the customer has initiated the transfer, it may take a few days for the funds to appear in your account. Once they do, you’ll be able to ship out the order and mark it as complete in WooCommerce.

While bank transfers may not be as popular as credit card payments, they’re still a useful payment option to offer customers – especially if you do business with other businesses or customers who don’t have credit cards. By offering bank transfers as a payment option, you can make it easy for these customers to complete their purchase without having to go through the hassle of setting up a new credit card account just for your store.
