Am i able to run my payroll using a credit card instead of my bank account?

No, @mknox0622. You cannot run payroll in QuickBooks Online (QBO) using a credit card, a bank account is necessary to manage your payroll. Allow me to discuss this in detail below for better understanding.

Currently, QBO requires a bank account to process payroll transactions. This ensures secure and efficient management of direct deposit transactions for employee payments and tax liabilities.

On the other hand, you can use a credit card to process payments for your sales forms. Credit card processing is different and specifically meant for sales transactions, not for generating payroll.

As I know, you can use credit card to pay contract employees and freelances as business expenses.
