โš“ Save ACH Payment Methods for Stripe

  • You can now save ACH payment methods for Stripe, making installment payments easier.
  • Previously, only credit card details could be saved. Now, ACH (referred to by Stripe as โ€œUS Bank Accountโ€) can also be saved for future payments.
  • Saving an ACH account for Stripe works the same way as saving a card. For more details, check out this help article:  How-to: Enable Save Card (Stripe Only)

  • Logged in Travelers can now pay with their saved U.S. Bank Account on the Trip Page
    • Coming next month: This surcharge will be configurable to be different from the Credit Card surcharge - for now it will be the same surcharge as Credit Card.

  • As a Planner, you're able to charge a card / U.S. bank account on file, using the Planner "Make a Charge" feature
