When I create a Sales Receipt in QBO and choose "check" for payment, the ACH option comes up. I click the customer's bank account that has already been entered. I finish all items purchased, save and send. My question is, am I actually charging them at this point via ACH? I have done ACH payments through invoices and the money is showing up in my bank account, but with just a Sales Receipt, the money is not being deposited.
You create a sales receipt, and this can record a sale and a payment at the same time, since the sales receipt is created to give your customers details of the items they have purchased, or it will record the payment you have received, if you need to reflet the account you deposit this payment you should choose the corresponding bank account where the payment you have received was deposit to, if you are trying to charge them, you should be sending them an invoice instead, in which you may select to allow them the payment via ACH. In a sales receipt you are given the option to select method of paymen to record the method your client used to pay you for that receipt, it does not mean you chose the method of payment you want to be paid with. I hope this helps.
