How Can I Disable the ACH/E-Check Payment Option for My Future Projects?

Here's how you can disable ACH / E-Check Payments for your upcoming projects

Written by Sierra Burton

To access this feature, you must be on Goodshuffle Pro Standard or above.

From your Account > Settings, you can toggle ACH/E-Check Payments on or off for all future projects. This is especially helpful if you want to prevent delays caused by last-minute ACH transactions.

ACH payments can take several business days to fully clear. While they're convenient, they're not ideal for last-minute payments or time-sensitive events.


How to Disable ACH/E-Check for All Future Projects

  1. Go to "Account" in the bottom left of your screen.

  2. Select "Settings."

  3. Locate the option for ACH/E-Check Payments.

  4. Toggle the setting off to disable ACH for all future projects.

ACH payment processing speed largely depends on the payer's bank and cannot be expedited directly within Goodshuffle. If you require immediate payment confirmation, consider alternative methods such as credit or debit card payments. Adhering to these payment management strategies can help streamline your transactions and optimize project timelines. If you encounter any issues or require additional guidance, please reach out to the Goodshuffle support team.

How to Disable ACH/E-Check for an Individual Project

If you only want to disable ACH for a specific project:

  1. Open the individual Project.

  2. Click "Settings" in the upper-right corner.

  3. Uncheck to turn off the ACH/E-Check payment option under "Billing Settings."

Alternatives to ACH Payments

If your concern is getting paid in time and standard ACH is too slow, you don't have to disable bank payments altogether. There are faster options:

  • Instant Bank Payments let your client pay directly from their bank account and settle within 1-2 business days, much faster than standard ACH's 3-5 business day clearing window. This makes them a strong alternative as an event approaches. Learn more in What Are Instant Bank Payments and How Do They Work?, and see How to Enable Instant Bank Payments to turn them on.

  • Credit or debit card payments typically process within minutes and are ideal for last-minute transactions.
