Why Appalachian Woods Accepts Electronic Checks—And How It Benefits You
At Appalachian Woods, we craft premium reclaimed wood products with care, precision, and authenticity. From wide-plank white oak floors to reclaimed chestnut beams, every order we fulfill carries a promise of quality—and that promise extends to how we handle payments.
That’s why we accept electronic checks (eChecks) from our customers. Whether you’re a homeowner building your dream retreat or a builder managing multiple projects, eChecks offer a secure, convenient, and cost-effective way to complete your purchase.
What Is an Electronic Check?
An electronic check is a digital version of a paper check. Instead of mailing a physical check, you authorize a payment online or over the phone using your bank’s routing number and your checking account number.
The transaction is processed through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network—the same secure system banks use for direct deposit and bill payments. It’s fast, reliable, and familiar.
Why We Accept eChecks
Reclaimed wood is not a mass-market product—it’s a custom material, often made to order, requiring thoughtful coordination between you, your builder, and our mill. We’ve chosen to accept eChecks because they support the way we do business:
Streamlined Processing
eChecks are processed faster than paper checks—usually within 1 to 3 business days—so we can begin fulfilling your order sooner.Secure Transactions
Payments are encrypted and handled through a bank-regulated network. That means reduced risk of fraud or mail delays—peace of mind for both sides.Ideal for Large Purchases
Flooring, beams, and wall paneling orders often involve significant sums. eChecks allow you to transfer funds directly from your bank account without the higher fees associated with credit cards or wire transfers.
A Better Payment Experience for You
Here’s how accepting eChecks makes things easier for our customers:
| Benefit | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Convenience | Pay from your computer or phone—no stamps, no trips to the post office. |
| Speed | Your order moves into production sooner because your payment clears faster. |
| Security | Payments are routed through a secure, encrypted banking system. |
| Simplicity | No need to create an account with a third-party payment app—just your bank info. |
| Cost-effectiveness | No credit card surcharges or wire transfer fees. |
We want every part of your experience with Appalachian Woods to reflect the same care we put into our materials—from first conversation to final installation. Accepting electronic checks is one more way we do that.
When Should You Use an eCheck?
If you’re placing a large or custom order, sending a deposit for a project, or looking for an easy, direct way to pay—eChecks are a great option. Simply let your salesperson know that you prefer an electronic check when placing your order.
