Flywire enables payments via credit card.
Also, you can make payments via ACH, however, using only the "Pay On Account" option.

Behavior of YayPay Payments Powered by Flywire
This section describes what happens in YayPay when you make the following types of payments while they are powered by Flywire:
- Credit card
- ACH (direct debit and offline bank transfer)
Credit Card Payments
Once you enter your billing information, a Flywire page opens, prompting you to do the following:
- Agree to their terms and conditions.
- Enter your credit card information.If the payment is successful, the transaction receipt is displayed.
After completing the payment process, the invoice's status changes to Pending in YayPay. The actual processing of the payment and the change in status to either Approved or Declined can take up to 2 business days.
ACH Payments
Once you enter your billing information, a Flywire page opens. On this page, you can select between a direct debit payment or a standard bank transfer.
In the next step, click on the GENERATE PAYMENT INSTRUCTION button to see the instructions on how to contact your bank to initiate the transfer process.
To complete the payment process, scroll down to the bottom of the window and click DONE. If you simply close the window, the payment may not be processed correctly.
After completing the payment process, the status of the invoice is changed to Pending in YayPay and remains in the Pending status until it is either paid or the payment is canceled by the provider. The processing of the payment and the subsequent status change to either Approved or Declined may take between 3 to 7 business days, depending on the selected payment method. For example, if you select offline bank transfer, the payer must physically transfer the money and thus the status change only occurs when Flywire receives the money.
When the status of the invoice changes to Approved, a new cash app record and a history activity record are created.
