What even is an “eCheck”? I keep hearing that word but haven’t found a sane definition. Is it just a weird term for an ACH debit transfer?

Sometimes it is a synonym for ACH, but it could be processed more literally as a check, with a check image and everything, and something like "Pre-Authorized Payment" written on the signature line. Usually they also let you specify the check number, if you wanted to have it follow your own sequence. Amazon Business was doing this with invoice payments up until January of this year.
