Thanks so much for your help Ted. To be more specific, I would like to do ACH direct debit. Authorize.net supports that through their payment gateway, but I do not believe that Ofbiz's Authorize.net payment gateway service supports anything other than CC. I'm new at Ofbiz, and didn't know if I was missing anything as far as enabling ACH direct debt. I see that paying via EFT is supported in the ecommerce store...that just stores the bank info in the DB, but does nothing else with it?
