# Configuring ACH Payments

### Abstract <a href="#xaqgx4byekwm" id="xaqgx4byekwm"></a>

*ACH* payments are a key component of payment automation in *NetSuite*. With *Charted* administrators can configure *ACH* as a secure, electronic method for transferring funds from a verified business entity. Before enabling *ACH*, business verification must be completed to ensure compliance and prevent unauthorized payment activity.

This article explains the steps required to configure *ACH* payments in *Charted*.

### Enable ACH Payment Method <a href="#id-7xud7w2rerfu" id="id-7xud7w2rerfu"></a>

Enabling the *ACH* payment method allows your business entity to process electronic payments through *Charted*. This setup becomes available once your entity has completed business verification.

Follow these steps to enable **ACH**:<br>

1. To locate the **ACH** settings, hover over the **Charted** menu, then select **AP Automation**, and click on the **Settings** option:\ <br>

   <br>
4. The next step is to enable these two payment option&#x73;**.** However, to proceed, you must first complete the verification process. If the verification process is not complete, the status will display **Business Verification (Not Verified)**, and the payment methods cannot be enabled:\ <br>

   <br>
5. Once the verification is complete, and the status changes to **Business Verification (Verified)**, you can proceed to enable your business entities to accept **ACH** or **Check** payments:\ <br>

   <br>
6. Let’s first enable the **ACH** payment method and see how it works. To enable **ACH**, click the **Setup** button next to **Pay via ACH (Not Enabled),** which will take you to the **Pay via ACH** page:<br>

   <br>
7. By default, **ACH** is turned off (**Disabled**), and you need to turn it on for the newly created business entity. Use the toggle to turn **ACH** on (**Enabled**), then click the **Save** button to apply the change:\ <br>

   <br>
8. After saving, the status will update to **Pay via ACH (Enabled)**, confirming that **ACH** has been successfully enabled for the selected business entity:\ <br>

   <br>
9. If needed, you can go back and toggle the **ACH** setting off again later based on your business requirements.

This concludes the overview of configuring **ACH** payments using **Charted** in *NetSuite*. Next, we’ll discuss how to configure outsourced check.&#x20;
