If you’re targeting corporate buyers or attendees who prefer paying by invoice, adding a bank transfer (ACH) option to your event checkout can be a conversion booster. Below is a step-by-step guide that shows you exactly how to sell tickets with bank transfer / ACH payments through Oveit – from enabling the method to tracking and confirming incoming funds.
1. Activate Bank Transfer / ACH in Your Oveit Account #
- Go to Account › Payments in your Oveit dashboard.
- Locate Bank Transfer in the list of processors.
- Turn the payment On, then click Settings.
- Enter your banking details under “Payment Receiving Accounts” – Account name, IBAN/Routing number, SWIFT/ABA, and any reference notes your finance team needs.
Tip: Use clear reference instructions (e.g., “Please include Order # in the payment description”) to speed up reconciliation.
2. Set a Payment Due Date (Grace Period) #
Inside the same Bank Transfer settings panel:
- Choose a Payment Due Days – the number of business days buyers have to settle the invoice (e.g., 15 days).
- Click Save.
- Oveit will automatically:
- Add the due date on every pro-forma invoice email.
- Schedule a built-in payment reminder email to fire on the due date.
This automation keeps your finance workflow tight without manual checking.
3. Customize the Auto-Emails for Bank Transfer Buyers #
Navigate to Account › Customize Email and personalize three key templates:
| Email Template | When it Sends | What to Customize |
|---|---|---|
| Bank transfer orders payment instructions | Immediately after checkout | Add bank coordinates, VAT info, and friendly payment tips. |
| Bank transfer orders payment reminder | On the due date you set | Re-emphasize urgency, offer help, and include late-fee or cancellation policy if applicable. |
| Order refund confirmation | If you cancel an unpaid order | Clarify next steps and customer service contacts. |
SEO tip: Sprinkle synonyms like ACH remit, invoice payment, and wire transfer ticketing in these email bodies; search engines also crawl transactional emails in some inboxes (e.g., Gmail tab summaries).
4. Buyer Journey: Paying by Bank Transfer #
- Cart & Add-ons – Attendee selects tickets and any upgrades.
- Billing Information – They choose Bank Transfer at checkout.
- Order Confirmation Screen – Displays “Action Required: Pay via Bank Transfer.”
- Automatic Emails – Buyer receives:
- A pro-forma invoice with your bank details.
- The Payment Instructions email you customized.
The order status in Oveit is Pending Payment, so seats are reserved but not released until funds arrive.
5. Track, Confirm, or Cancel Bank Transfer Orders #
Go to Reports › Order History:
- “Completed” payments labels = Paid and ticketed.
- Yellow rows, “Pending payment” label = Due date passed – payment pending.
- Actions available:
- Confirm as Paid – Funds landed; tickets are issued instantly.
- Cancel Order – Buyer didn’t pay; triggers the refund/cancellation email.
Because Oveit doesn’t auto-cancel, you maintain full control over late-payment tolerance and customer relationships.
Key Benefits of Selling Tickets with Bank Transfer / ACH Payments #
- B2B-friendly – Many companies can only purchase via invoice.
- Lower fees – ACH typically costs less than card processing.
- Higher limits – No card caps; perfect for bulk or VIP packages.
- Automated follow-up – Oveit’s reminders reduce manual chasing.
