How to Set Up Recurring ACH Payments
To set up recurring ACH payments in Go ACH, open Transactions then ACH Recurrences (or the Schedule tile on the dashboard) and click Add New ACH Recurrence. A recurrence automatically generates transactions on a schedule until it ends or is blocked.
What is an ACH recurrence?
A recurrence is a saved rule — client, amount, and schedule — that produces ACH transactions automatically. The ACH Recurrences screen lists every rule and lets you create, filter, export, and manage them. You can also start one by switching Repeat to Recurring on the New Transaction form.
Recurring schedule fields
- Schedule Type — what the schedule is based on (e.g. Originate Date).
- Recurrence — the frequency, e.g. Daily on Weekdays, weekly, or monthly.
- Start Date — when the schedule begins. Setting it to today creates an initial transaction today.
- End Type — No End, end after a number of occurrences, or end on a date.
- Include Bank Holidays — whether to run on bank holidays or skip them.
List columns: Vendor, Client, Transaction Type, Bank Name / RT (routing) / AC (account), Description, Status, Amount, Start Date, and Recurrence Pattern.
How to create and manage a recurrence
- Open Transactions → ACH Recurrences (or the Schedule tile on the Go ACH dashboard).
- Use the filter to find a recurrence, or click Add New ACH Recurrence to create one (same fields as Recurring mode in how to create an ACH transaction).
- Click a recurrence row to edit its amount, schedule, or status.
- Resolve any blocked recurrences from the dashboard panel.
