How much are you willing to spend per transaction? With Stripe or Braintree it’s trivial but expensive.

Are you targeting just the US market and dollars? Going directly with a bank is cheaper but more complex [1]. And unless you’re adding significant value you’ll probably need a money transmitter license in your state.

And if you’re planning on letting any asshole on the internet use this, you need an anti-fraud strategy because settlement times are measured in days and there are plenty of ways that money can be sent but never refunded.

Good luck!

Thanks for this. That link is extremely helpful and goes in depth to the ACH Networks from a developers perspective. Cheers!
