*Financial Settings* # 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. The **Payment methods** tab lists the methods shoppers in your store’s country use most first, such as BECS Direct Debit for a store in Australia or Bacs Direct Debit in the UK. ## Helpful Quick Links Everything Stripe in one place — from first connection to every special gateway EasyCart supports. - **Get Connected:** [Connecting Stripe in Free Edition](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-payment-settings/#freeedition) or [Connecting Stripe in Pro & Premium Edition](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-payment-settings/#proedition) — including [One-Click Connect](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-payment-settings/#proedition), [Adding Your Webhook](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-payment-settings/#webhook), [Enabling 3D Secure & SCA](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-payment-settings/#SCA), and [Testing Payments](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-payment-settings/#testing) - **Wallets & Quick Payments:** [Enabling Stripe Wallet & Quick Payments](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-wallet-and-quick-payment-setup/) — [Apple Pay/Google Pay/Microsoft Pay](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-wallet-and-quick-payment-setup/#applepay), [AliPay](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-wallet-and-quick-payment-setup/#alipay), [GrabPay](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-wallet-and-quick-payment-setup/#grabpay), [WeChat Pay](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-wallet-and-quick-payment-setup/#wechat), [Link Payments](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-wallet-and-quick-payment-setup/#linkpayments) - **Buy Now, Pay Later:** [Enabling Buy Now, Pay Later Gateways](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-buy-now-pay-later-payments/) — [Affirm](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-buy-now-pay-later-payments/#affirm), [Afterpay / Clearpay](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-buy-now-pay-later-payments/#afterpay), [Klarna](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-buy-now-pay-later-payments/#klarna) - **Bank Redirects:** [Enabling Bank Redirects](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-bank-redirect-payments/) — [Bancontact](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-bank-redirect-payments/#bancontact), [BLIK](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-bank-redirect-payments/#blik), [EPS](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-bank-redirect-payments/#eps), [iDeal](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-bank-redirect-payments/#ideal), [Przelewy24](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/administrative-console-guide/stripe-bank-redirect-payments/#przelewy24) - **Real-Time Payments:** [Enabling Real-Time Payments](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-real-time-payments/) — [Pix](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-real-time-payments/#pix), [PayNow](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-real-time-payments/#paynow), [PromptPay](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-real-time-payments/#promptpay) - **Bank Debits (this page):** [Enabling Bank Debits](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-bank-debit-payments/) — [BECS Direct Debit in Australia](https://docs.wpeasycart.com/docs/non-knowledgebase/stripe-bank-debit-payments/#becs) ## Enabling BECS Direct Debit With the latest Stripe API + EasyCart, you can offer BECS easily and effectively.
