quickbooks card reader

Purchasing a quickbooks card reader to process payments directly with quickbooks online, is not an option. Only for desktop or GoPayment app are the only options. Not interested in paying 25 extra cents to use your product.

Thanks for dropping by here, @Bodyfixxr. I see that purchasing a QuickBooks Card Reader will help process the payments quickly, and we hear your sentiments. Let me share insights about this. 

 

Before anything else, what kind of QuickBooks Card Reader you purchase, because the features and compatibility will depend on what card reader you bought. 

 

Below are the card readers we support:

 

  • QuickBooks Card Reader (This is currently the only mobile card reader that’s available for purchase.)
  • QuickBooks GoPayment Chip and Magstripe Card Reader.
  • QuickBooks GoPayment All-in-one Card Reader.

 

For more details, check out this article: QuickBooks Payments card reader features and compatibility.

 

Moreover, the articles below will help you take payments using a card reader: 

 

 

We're glad to have you here, @Bodyfixxr. If you have more queries about QuickBooks Payments, never hesitate to reply to this post. I'll be willing to answer it. Take care.

The only one I found available is Card Reader . Accepts contactless and chip payments.

 

Is there another option to swipe? I see the swipe option compatibility with the QuickBooks online when processing a payment.

 

My goal is not to manually enter a credit card for payment every time I accept payment in person. This also penalizes me by not being able to save the 3 digit code.

Thanks for following up with the Community, Bodyfixxr. I appreciate your detailed information.

 

If you're referring to processing card payments while signed in to QuickBooks with a web browser, or the desktop app, you can order a Magtek USB Card Reader. This enables you to swipe cards for payments. It can also be used in your Merchant Service Center.

 

You can order one by contacting our QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sales team at the phone number listed in our Order an Intuit QuickBooks Payments MagTek card reader article.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about processing payments which may come in handy moving forward: Take & process payments

 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely Wednesday!

I don't fully understand your question, but did you know that you can process payments through your phone without a reader by using tap-to-pay? You enter the amount, click on review sale, click on charge button at the bottom of the screen, click tap-to-pay, and finally you hold the card to the back of your compatible phone. The only reason you need to have access to a reader is if the card doesn't work with tap-to-pay.
