Hello fellow domain folk. I wanted to let everyone know about a new type of account that we've rolled out which allows us to do away with the usual markup we include due to credit card fees incurred on typical transactions. We can now flag accounts as "ACH Only", making funding via ACH the only method of payment these accounts can use. Essentially, you have to attach a US bank account to the Porkbun account and then deposit account credit via ACH. It's the typical setup we've all seen before where you add a bank account and then verify it via a couple of small deposits. Once the account is verified, deposits from it into your Porkbun account can take up to 5 business days.
Here is a page which shows current pricing for this type of account: https://porkbun.com/products/domains_ach
Here's a knowledge base article with more in depth information: https://kb.porkbun.com/article/181-how-save-even-more-by-paying-with-ach-bank-transfers
A couple of caveats are 1) the bank account must be a US account and 2) we'll require that you confirm both your email address and phone number. I know it's a bummer that it's US only but we are looking into ways to save our international customer more money as well.
If you're interested, reach out to our support department! They'll be able to help you get setup and ready to go.
