How to Accept eCheck as a Payment Option in PayPal

Depending on your settings in your PayPal account, vendors may not have the eCheck option enabled. eCheck allows customers to purchase your products with other payment sources like a linked Bank Account, instead of using their PayPal balance.

Here is what it looks like to a customer when enabled.

To confirm that you have eCheck enabled, log in to your PayPal account, then click on Profile > Profile & Settings > My Selling Tools > then click Update under Block Payments.

Make sure that the Block the following payments checkbox is NOT ticked for Pay with eCheck.

Important:

Please note that when a customer pays using an eCheck, it typically takes 3 to 5 business days to process and clear. As a result, the product will not be delivered until the funds have been successfully received by the vendor.

These transactions can be found under Transactions > Pending.

PayKickstart automatically checks with PayPal each night to update the status, whether the transaction has been completed, is still pending, or has been denied.
