Is there any way possible to default Bank (ach) transactions on the QB invoice (especially the online payment screen)? Thanks

Yes, you can set the ACH as default payment method if you have QuickBooks payments subscription, @Art013. I'm glad to outline the complete steps to achieve your tasks. 

 

You need to edit the invoice template and choose Bank Transfer as the accepted form of payment. This way, your customers' primary payment method is ACH.

 

 Here's How:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the top and select Customer Form styles.
  2. Find the template, then click Edit under Action.
  3. Go to the Payments tab and ensure only Bank transfer is checked.
  4. Click Done

 

Also, you have the option to set that template as your default. This way, we can ensure that your customer can pay you via ACH. Just click small drop-down arrow beside Edit and  select Make default. See the sample screenshot below for your reference:

Thanks.

 

This option makes it look like ACH is the only option to pay the invoice. I was hoping to just make it the default.

 

Seems like we should be able to set the default payment type/method on our invoices and billings. The message on the invoice is great, but if they don't open the invoice before paying it, it's not seen.

 

I'll have to test it out on my clients and see if this slows the payments down.
