ACH Payments
When making an ACH payment, you'll need to give permission to the merchant to take the money directly from your bank account.

After you've given your permission, it can take up to four business days for the payment to be processed.
You will receive a copy of the mandate in your email.
In case an ACH payment cannot be completed, the system will mark the invoice as NSF and bill the customer $4.00 USD for the failed transaction.

Add the payment details and follow the instructions on the screen.
You can check the Save for future payments option to process future payments without having to input the payment details again.
Upon activation of Komet Pay within your company, a dedicated tab will automatically appear within the Accounts Receivable (A/R) menu. This tab, labeled "Komet Pay," provides comprehensive insights into payments received through the Komet Pay platform.
If you click a specific line, you will see the details of that payment, including a timeline and the processing fee your company is charging. You can also export payment reports from this screen.
You can identify Komet Pay payments in the A/R Payment History screen in the check reference column for transactions with an ID starting with the letter S.
