  • American Express
  • Apple Pay (Functions as a housing application for supported credit card types)

  • Discover
  • Mastercard
  • Visa


Supported recurring payment methods

With customer authorization,  you can set up recurring payments using the following payment methods:

  • American Express
  • Bank payments
  • Discover
  • Mastercard
  • Visa


Unsupported payment methods

QuickBooks Payments does not support the following payment methods:

  • Foreign currencies: Payments from currencies other than Canadian currency.
  • Debit card payments: Visa and Mastercard debit cards don't always have an address linked to the card profile. This means the system can't check the credit details and the process doesn't finish.
  • American-sourced credit cards These can't be used, even if they contain Canadian details.
  • Standalone JCB cards: While American Express partners with JCB to allow Amex cards to be accepted in Canada, standalone JCB card transactions aren't supported.
