iATS
iMIS’s implementation with iATS only enables ACH payments when they are recurring for membership and fundraising which requires the iMIS AutoPay license. iMIS does not have the ability to have one-off ACH payments with iATS in the cart, yet. There are plans to add this functionality. iMIS does process credit card payments for both recurring and one-off using iATS.
