by Intuit5 Updated 1 month ago

Learn how to connect an existing QuickBooks Payments account to QuickBooks Online.

Sign up for QuickBooks Payments directly from QuickBooks Online. We'll automatically connect your accounts so you can get paid faster.

If you signed up for QuickBooks Payments in another QuickBooks product, you can still use it here. Connect your payments account manually to process payments in QuickBooks Online.



Prepare to connect QuickBooks Payments to QuickBooks Online

Before you connect your account, make sure to:

  • Refund open transactions before connecting your accounts. You can't refund transactions made before you connect your payments account.
  • Delete any recurring payments in Merchant Services. Sign in to Merchant Services and turn off any recurring payments before you start.


Connect your QuickBooks Payments account to QuickBooks Online

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as an admin.
  2. Go to Settings ⚙ and select Account and settings.
  3. Select Payments, then select Activate payments.
  4. Select Set up Payments and follow the steps to connect your QuickBooks Payments account.

Note: You can recreate recurring payments as memorized sales receipts once you've linked your account.

Update the payment account for apps

If you use a shopping cart, webstore, or third-party processing apps with your Payments account, you'll need to reconnect them. Steps for reconnecting vary from app to app. Visit the QuickBooks App page, find the apps, and connect them to QuickBooks Online.
