To set up your payment methods, go to Manage --> Payment Settings. From here you can set up a variety of payment methods for your customers to use.
Credit Cards
Check Cherry Payments offers credit card processing through Stripe for customers in the U.S. Fees are 2.9% + 30¢ per successful card charge, and there are no setup fees, monthly fees, or hidden fees. You also have the option to pass these fees along to your clients through the settings for each payment method. Check Cherry Payments allows you to see detailed information for all your credit card transactions at a glance on the easy-to-use dashboard. Your first credit card transaction will take 7 days to process, but subsequent transactions usually take 3-5 business days to process.
After you've processed a few transactions through Check Cherry Payments, you'll also have access to Instant Payout. To start an instant payout, simply click on your Check Cherry Payments Dashboard, then select the Instant Payout button in the upper right. Stripe charges an additional fee for Instant Payout.
Check Cherry Payments also gives you the ability to collect customer payments through ACH, so customers can pay directly from their checking accounts. To enable this feature, click the Add Payment Option button in the list of payment options on the right, and select ACH Direct Debit. Stripe charges a 1.5% fee for each successful ACH transaction. ACH transactions take longer to process than credit cards, and can take up to 6 business days.
Customers in Canada, Australia, the U.K., and other countries supported by Check Cherry will be able to integrate credit card payments through Stripe, Square or Paypal.
