Enable the eCheck Stored Payment Type

Administrators can enable the eCheck stored payment type in Community Hub or Staff View.

This feature uses Custom Metadata types which must be enabled in your org before you can use it. Please contact Nimble AMS Support to enable Custom Metadata Types in your org.

  1. Apply to process eChecks through the payment gateway. Learn more.
  2. Enable Stored Payment Methods.
  3. If the payment gateway is Authorize.Net, Set the eCheck Per-Transaction Limit for Authorize.Net so Nimble AMS can enforce the limit as payments are being made.
  4. The eCheck payment option uses fields on the Cart Payment and Payment objects to store payment information which were previously only used for credit card payments. Rename the fields so they are applicable to both eCheck and credit card payments.
