Add a payment method
Add a credit/debit card or a US bank account (ACH) under Company → Payment methods, then set one as your primary. You need the Manage payments permission. Fees differ by method — card vs ACH.
Add a payment method so you can pay contractors and run payroll. You can add a card or a US bank account, and choose which one is your default.
Before you start
- The Manage payments permission (ask an admin if you don’t see the add option)
Add a card or bank account
- Open Company → Payment methods and click Add (or Add a payment method).
- Choose a type:
- Credit / Debit Card — pay instantly with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover.
- Bank Account (ACH) — connect a US bank account for lower-fee ACH transfers.
- Enter the details and save.
Verify a bank account
A US bank account added by micro-deposits stays pending until verified. Use Verify on the method and enter the micro-deposit amounts once they arrive.
Set your default
Use Set as primary on the method you want charged by default — it will be used as your default payment method for all future transactions.
Fees differ by method
The processing fee depends on the method you pay with — bank (ACH) is a small capped fee, while cards are charged a percentage. Before you choose, see Payment processing fees (card vs ACH) for the exact rates.
Note
Cards and bank accounts are listed separately under Cards and Bank Accounts. You can remove a method with Remove payment method — this can’t be undone.
