Review or update GoCardless settings in QuickBooks Online

After you connect the GoCardless app to your QuickBooks, we recommend checking your settings to make sure everything is correct.

When you collect payments through direct debit, the app automatically creates transactions in QuickBooks to record the payment and subsequent deposits related to the payments. 

Make sure that you select the settings to correctly record payments and deposits that are initiated through direct debit.
