In an exciting update for small and medium-sized businesses, CardFlight, the driving force behind the payment platform SwipeSimple, has launched a new feature that allows merchants to accept ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments. This innovative addition is set to revolutionize the payment experience for service-based businesses like contractors and professional offices, enabling them to offer customers a broader range of payment options.
As business owners continue to seek ways to simplify and diversify their payment methods, the integration of ACH into the SwipeSimple platform stands as a timely enhancement. The new capability will allow customers to make secure bank-to-bank payments using invoices and payment links, alongside traditional card payments. This advancement not only encourages a smoother transaction process but also fulfills the growing demand for flexible payment methods without complicating the backend operations.
Derek Webster, CEO of CardFlight, expressed the significance of this development: "Small businesses think about getting paid, not about payment rails. By bringing ACH into SwipeSimple, we are meeting service businesses where they already work invoicing for jobs and giving their customers an easy, low-cost way to pay. It's a natural expansion of what SwipeSimple does best." This focus on customer convenience and accessibility places the needs of small business owners front and center.
Powered by Nuvei, a global leader in digital payments, the ACH functionality works seamlessly within the existing SwipeSimple framework. Nuvei’s platform consolidates local payment capabilities, acceptance strategies, and intelligent optimization, streamlining the experience for both vendors and customers. Businesses can manage every transaction—regardless of payment type—through the same reporting, reconciliation, and transaction history systems that they are already accustomed to.
Another chief advantage of this integration is that it fosters customer loyalty by offering flexible payment methods, a crucial deciding factor for many consumers today. As expectations evolve, businesses must adapt to include multiple options in order to remain competitive. With this new feature, merchants can provide their clients with the choice to pay by card or directly from their bank accounts, simplifying the transaction process and encouraging timely payments.
For those who are already resellers within CardFlight's network, the ACH feature is available immediately. Existing partners using Nuvei can start offering ACH right away, while those new to the platform can benefit from a promotional program that lasts until December 31, 2026. This promotional phase allows businesses to harness the power of ACH while minimizing initial barriers to entry.
Key benefits of the ACH integration include:
- - The ability to accept ACH payments through invoices and payment links, in addition to credit card payments.
- - Unified reporting, which allows business owners to view receipts and transaction histories across different payment types easily.
- - A streamlined onboarding process for resellers, simplifying the introduction of ACH payments into their offerings.
- - A consistent merchant experience across both web and mobile platforms, ensuring that users can manage payments flexibly and efficiently.
