ACH Account Setup
First-time ACH payments
When a customer pays with an ACH account for the first time, KoronetPayments will send a micro-deposit email to the customer's email address. This email will contain a verification link to confirm the validity of the account. It may take 1-2 business days for the email to arrive. The customer must follow the instructions in the email to complete the verification process and continue with the ACH payment.
Until the verification process is complete, we will not process the payment in the system. However, the order will be checked out to ensure that it is not eliminated by the e-commerce timer. After the payment is submitted, we will show the message below to the customer to let them know that we have received the order, but the payment has not been fully processed yet.
Note that the payment will only appear in the payment history once the customer responds to the verification email. The customer will be prompted to enter a code from their bank statement when they click the verification link. Once the code is entered, the verification process will be complete.
