## Get started with ACH via Stripe

### Before you begin

If this is your first payment method, make sure to follow the [Get started guide](/get-started/overview) to begin processing payments with Primer.

### Configure in the Dashboard

1. **Add Stripe to your Dashboard**\
   Go to the [Integrations](https://dashboard.primer.io/integrations) section of the Dashboard and look for `Stripe`.\
   Follow the instructions to connect your Stripe account to your Primer Dashboard. Make sure `ACH` is selected for your Stripe connection.

2. **Activate ACH on the Checkout**\
   Go to the [Checkout](https://dashboard.primer.io/checkout) section of the Dashboard and activate the ACH payment method.

3. **Configure a Workflow to process payments made with Stripe ACH**\
   Go to [Workflows](https://dashboard.primer.io/workflows-v1), and ensure there is a workflow with the **Authorize payment** action configured to process APM payments.

### Prepare the client session

ACH via Stripe leverages the following parameters to process a payment.

Pass them when creating the client session.
