# Take an ACH/EFT Payment

Take an ACH or EFT payment directly on an invoice with PaintScout Payments.

Process ACH payments — or EFT for Canadian accounts — on your invoice when connected to [PaintScout Payments](/support/invoicing-and-payments/payments/paintscout-payments.md) with ACH/EFT enabled.

1. Open the invoice and scroll to the **Payments** table.
2. Click **+Add/Request Payment**.
3. Select **Take ACH (or EFT) Payment**.

4. Enter the payment amount, then enter your customer's bank details and click **Pay**.
5. ACH payments typically take a few days to process, so you may see **Processing** before the payment resolves.

Entered a payment by mistake? Cancel an ACH/EFT payment while it's still **Processing**. After it settles, you will have to contact [our support team](mailto:support@paintscout.com).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.paintscout.com/support/invoicing-and-payments/payments/take-an-ach-eft-payment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
