Stripe Bank Debit Payments
With bank debits, you can pull funds directly from your customer’s bank account — for both one-time and recurring purchases. A low-cost alternative to cards, and with EasyCart + Stripe, BECS Direct Debit is a two-toggle setup.
Who Bank Debits Are For
Bank debits shine for large, repeat payments where card fees sting. They’re often used by:
- Businesses collecting recurring payments from other businesses.
- Retail and services businesses that want a low-cost alternative to cards for large consumer payments, like rent or tuition.
Bank debits might not be a good fit for your business if:
- You deliver goods immediately after checkout — payment confirmation takes 3-7 days.
- Your business is sensitive to disputes — consider other payment methods, because some bank debit methods favor the customer during disputes.
Country, Currency & Customer Rules Apply
These special payment options are heavily dependent on the country your Stripe account is established in, as well as the customer and currencies involved. They only show as options if the shopping cart also meets certain specifications — a good example is Affirm only working on $50 to $30,000 orders.
