ACH Payments

You can add bank accounts as payment methods in Spreedly to be used with a gateway’s ACH service. A custom transparent redirect form will be used like so:

<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="https://core.spreedly.com/v1/payment_methods" method="POST">
  <fieldset>
    <input name="redirect_url" type="hidden" value="http://example.com/transparent_redirect_complete" />
    <input name="environment_key" type="hidden" value="C7cRfNJGODKh4Iu5Ox3PToKjniY" />
    <input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="✓" />

    <input name="payment_method_type" type="hidden" value="bank_account" />

    <label for="full_name">Name</label>
    <input id="full_name" name="full_name" type="text" />

    <label for="bank_name">Bank Name</label>
    <input id="bank_name" name="bank_name" type="text" />

    <label for="bank_routing_number">Bank Routing Number</label>
    <input id="bank_routing_number" name="bank_routing_number" type="text" />

    <label for="bank_account_number">Account Number</label>
    <input id="bank_account_number" name="bank_account_number" type="text" />

    <label for="bank_account_type">Account Type</label>
    <select id="bank_account_type" name="bank_account_type">
      <options value="checking" />
      <options value="savings" />
    </select>

    <label for="bank_account_holder_type">Account Holder</label>
    <select id="bank_account_holder_type" name="bank_account_holder_type">
      <options value="personal" />
      <options value="business" />
    </select>

    <button type='submit'>Submit Payment</button>
  </fieldset>
</form>

The only required fields for a bank account are full_name (or first_name/last_name), bank_routing_number, and bank_account_number. The rest are optional at the Spreedly level, and whether you want to collect them will depend on what your gateway requires.

Currently only US and Canadian bank accounts are supported. For accounts issued by US banks, the bank_routing_number must be a valid US ABA Number. For accounts issued by Canadian banks, the bank_routing_number should be the nine-digit electronic routing number, beginning with a zero and followed by a valid financial institution number.

Valid values for bank_account_type are checking and savings, and valid values for bank_account_holder_type are personal and business.

A bank account looks like this when you pull it back out:

curl https://core.spreedly.com/v1/payment_methods/OpUmh75ttxO1TxEg7nPhEMeiqZ6.xml \
  -u 'C7cRfNJGODKh4Iu5Ox3PToKjniY:4UIuWybmdythfNGPqAqyQnYha6s451ri0fYAo4p3drZUi7q2Jf4b7HKg8etDtoKJ' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/xml'

Once you have a bank account payment method, you can run a purchase like so:

curl https://core.spreedly.com/v1/gateways/LlkjmEk0xNkcWrNixXa1fvNoTP4/purchase.xml \
  -u 'C7cRfNJGODKh4Iu5Ox3PToKjniY:4UIuWybmdythfNGPqAqyQnYha6s451ri0fYAo4p3drZUi7q2Jf4b7HKg8etDtoKJ' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' \
  -d '<transaction>
