Payments & Batches

Once the ACH.COM app is active, you now have ACH as a tender type option throughout MX™ Merchant. An ACH transaction uses your customer's bank account information to directly debit the funds from their account rather than using a credit card.

Quick Pay

Taking an ACH payment within MX™ Merchant starts just as though you were making a credit card payment.

  • Click the Quick Pay button (left menu)

The following Actions found across the top of the Quick Pay pop up:

  • Determine if it is a sale or refund
  • Choose ACH on the center drop down (if it isn't already defaulted)
  • Choose the SEC code that represents your transaction
    • CCD - Consumer purchase
    • PPD - Business purchase
    • TEL - Over the phone
    • WEB - Over the internet
  • Enter the amount of the transaction

Batches

Batches are separated by payment type, therefore all ACH transactions will go into the same open batch. If there is no open batch, one will be automatically created at the time of payment. The cut off time for closing an ACH batch is 5:00 pm (EST) in order for it to be sent to the Federal Reserve that day. Once an ACH batch has been closed the funds take anywhere between 3 - 4 business days to settle.
