Let eligible customers pay SwipeSimple invoices and payment links by ACH bank transfer, then streamline bookkeeping with QuickBooks Online Sync.
SwipeSimple ACH Payments adds a bank-account option alongside card payments on supported invoices and payment links. QuickBooks Online Sync is an optional App Marketplace integration that can send SwipeSimple activity into QuickBooks Online and reduce manual data entry and reconciliation work.
How SwipeSimple ACH Payments Work
- Create an invoice or payment link: prepare the request through the SwipeSimple dashboard.
- Customer selects Bank Account: the hosted payment page can present eligible customers with card and ACH options.
- Customer authorizes the transfer: the customer enters bank details and agrees to the required authorization.
- Track activity in SwipeSimple: ACH transactions appear alongside supported card-payment activity in the dashboard.
- Sync eligible activity: when QuickBooks Online Sync is configured, supported ACH transactions can flow into the bookkeeping workflow.
When ACH Can Be a Strong Fit
- High-ticket contractor and home-service invoices
- Professional retainers and consulting fees
- Medical, wellness, and other service balances
- B2B payments and accounts receivable
- Large deposits or project milestone payments
- Customers who prefer a bank transfer instead of a card

ACH Is Not the Same as a Card Payment
ACH bank transfers follow different authorization, timing, return, dispute, and funding rules than credit-card transactions. Processing costs may be lower for some use cases, but pricing and limits depend on the merchant-services program, underwriting, transaction amount, and risk profile.
Businesses should collect clear authorization, verify customer information appropriately, protect bank-account data, and understand how returns or failed transfers are handled.
QuickBooks Integration Boundaries
QuickBooks Online Sync is intended to reduce manual bookkeeping work, not replace bookkeeping review. Merchants should confirm sales-tax treatment, deposits, fees, refunds, chargebacks, ACH returns, account mapping, and reconciliation procedures with their accountant or bookkeeper.
