The real value behind alternative payments
Ecommerce keeps changing, but one factor stays consistent: businesses want to keep more of what they earn. Traditional card processors often charge high fees that chip away at profits with every sale. That is why many companies turn to alternative payment methods like ACH or eChecks through eDebit Direct. These options deliver lower processing costs, faster access to funds, and the flexibility that helps merchants grow without added expense.
Lower fees, higher margins
The biggest reason merchants adopt alternative processing is simple—cost. Card transactions can carry fees that quickly add up, especially for stores with growing order volumes. ACH-based payments cost significantly less per transaction. By switching or adding eDebit Direct, merchants reduce the percentage lost to processing, keeping more money available for marketing, inventory, or day-to-day operations.
Faster processing with Rapid ACH (Same Day ACH)
Speed adds to the savings. Rapid ACH (Same Day ACH) moves funds on the same business day, often within hours. That means cash flow improves, inventory turns faster, and businesses avoid the costly delays that come with waiting several days for payments to clear. For ecommerce stores, faster access to revenue translates into better fulfillment timing and a smoother operational cycle.
Where eChecks fit in
Some businesses may not be approved for Rapid ACH due to their bank’s policies. In those cases, eChecks provide a practical alternative so transactions continue without interruption. While Rapid ACH offers the fastest turnaround, eChecks remain a cost-effective option for businesses that need a reliable way to receive payments when ACH is not available.
Plaid keeps checkout smooth
Plaid supports this process by allowing customers to connect their bank accounts instantly. The connection happens in seconds, reducing manual entry errors and keeping payments flowing naturally through checkout. For ecommerce merchants, fewer disruptions mean more completed sales and steady cash flow.
No contracts, more confidence
eDebit Direct does not tie businesses to long-term contracts. Clients stay because the platform works and the savings are clear. This flexibility gives merchants control over their operations while maintaining the freedom to adapt as their needs evolve.
Personalized support that adds value
Beyond technology, service makes the difference. Merchants highlight eDebit’s quick responses and helpful guidance in reviews, showing that dedicated support adds confidence to every transaction.
The smarter way to save on payment processing
Alternative payments are not just another option—they are a financial advantage. With lower fees, faster access to funds through Rapid ACH, flexible eCheck options, and Plaid’s simple connectivity, eDebit Direct gives businesses the ability to operate efficiently and protect their margins.
