System Configuration - ACH Merchants

An ACH merchant is an organization (typically a bank) that processes ACH files that contain electronic check payments collected by iNovah. As electronic check payments are collected, the data from those payments are built into an ACH file that is sent to the ACH merchant for processing. Each ACH file consists of records that contain data for the electronic check payments as well as other data necessary for processing the ACH file. The content and layout of each ACH file adheres to the ACH rules outlined by the National Automated Clearing house Association (NACHA). ACH files may be created automatically via a scheduled process or manually via the Utility Module.

Each ACH merchant consists of properties that identify the data (such as company entry description, immediate origin, and immediate destination) that is included in an ACH file when it is created. Each ACH merchant also consists of properties that iNovah uses to transmit ACH files to ACH merchants via FTP (if the ACH files are sent via FTP).

The ACH page is located at Configuration>System Properties>ACH Merchants.
