Overview
Paying residuals by ACH allows admins to send residual payments directly to users’ bank accounts from Merchant Central using the Paya ACH integration. Payments are initiated from the Residuals Summary after residual amounts have been calculated.
- Select users to pay: Choose the users who should receive payments from the residual report.
- Review and confirm: Review the payment amounts before confirming the ACH transactions.
- Process payments: Confirmed transactions are queued for processing. You can track their status on the Paya ACH History page.
This feature turns calculated residual commissions into bank payments, allowing admins to pay multiple users directly from the residual reporting workflow.
☝️ Note: Paya only allows transactions to and from U.S. bank accounts.
