Customer balance actually is bank transfer https://stripe.com/docs/payments/bank-transfers

Bank transfer payments

Learn about bank transfers and managing payments with the customer balance.

#

I'm not quite clear on the naming convention. But customer balance is the name for the bank transfer payment method in our API

#

Can you send me the ID of an invoice for example #2?

#

I would expect that to show ACH direct debit

#

And for 3 as well?

#

We should show both options in both instances as far as I know

I had assumed (and thought I had read) that 'customer_balance' for payment_method_types meant the customer could use credit notes to pay an invoice. But it sounds like I'm mistaken... I will read docs more carefully. in_1OK1FUFMSpTKIbUba8CuiNTZ is an invoice in category 2 (I sent payment_method_types as [ 'ach_debit','customer_balance']), but the invoice page only seems to show Bank Transfer

Thank you for the ID, not immediately seeing why ACH DD is not showing up. I will consult my colleagues and get back to you

Thanks @haughty minnow , perhaps you can also help me understand the difference between 'customer_balance' and 'ach_credit_transfer', or at least map those API values to Stripe's general term for the type of transfer? I believe ach_debit is a debit initiated by Stripe, and I THOUGHT ach_credit_transfer was an ACH or wire to a virtual bank account, initiated by customer. But now I'm confused how customer_balance might be different from ach_credit_transfer. Thanks

So for scenario #2, it turns out that ach_debit is actually the legacy ACH Debit integration, the current ACH Debit iteration is named us_bank_account in the payment method types

#

The hosted inboice page does not support ACHv1, but it was possible to create invoices with it and then pay them with a custom integration

#

Checking in to ACH CT, it may be a similar legacy vs modern distinction here

#

Yep that looks to be the case https://stripe.com/docs/payments/sources/credit-transfers

#

So basicallly, when using the hosted invoice page, you will want to use the us_bank_account and customer_balance payment methods rather than ach_debit and ach_credit_transfer
