Setting Up Direct Bank Transfer Payment Method
Last Updated on February 1, 2025
Do you want to learn how to set up a direct bank transfer payment method for your WordPress site?
Direct Bank Transfer, also known as the Bank Account Clearing System (BACS), is a payment option that does not require online payment. Orders placed using this method remain in a “Pending” status until the payment is cleared outside of ProfilePress.
As a website owner, it is important to check that the payments have reached your bank account before you mark the orders as complete in ProfilePress. Setting up this payment method on your WordPress site is easy and quick with ProfilePress. This guide will help you get started.

Setup and Configuration
To accept direct bank transfer payments on your WordPress site, ensure you have installed and activated the ProfilePress plugin.
Next, go to ProfilePress > Settings > Payments >> Payment Methods and click the Configure button for “Direct bank transfer”.
Enter a title and description for the payment method on the setup page, which will be displayed on the ProfilePress checkout page. You also need to enter the bank account details of the account to which your users or customers would need to pay.
If you don’t want the billing address fields displayed on the Checkout page of your WordPress membership/ecommerce website powered by ProfilePress when the “Direct bank transfer” payment method is selected, check the “Remove Billing Address” checkbox settings.
When you are done, don’t forget to save your changes.
Here’s a demo of this payment method on the ProfilePress checkout page.
After submitting the form, your customers will see their order ID and your bank account details so they can make the transfer.
Set up a Direct Bank Transfer Payment Method in WordPress
As you’ve seen, setting up Direct Bank Transfer as a payment method using ProfilePress is straightforward and offers a valuable alternative for customers who prefer offline payments.
Ensure you regularly monitor your bank account for incoming payments and update order statuses accordingly.
While this payment method requires more manual oversight than automated gateways, it offers notable advantages: lower transaction fees, no reliance on payment processors, and broader accessibility for customers who prefer traditional banking methods.
