Manage billing, payment, and subscription info in QuickBooks
by Intuit• Updated about 18 hours ago
Learn how to manage your QuickBooks Online subscription, whether you need to update the card on file, change your subscription, or just view your billing history.
Note: This article is for customers using QuickBooks Online (Advanced, Essentials, Plus, and Simple Start) and Sole Trader.
Learn about your subscription
You can pay for your subscription with Mastercard, Visa, or American Express, or even set up Direct Debit or use PayPal.
Note: You can't sign up for an annual subscription initially. You can first sign up for a monthly subscription and complete the 30-day billing cycle before you switch to annual billing.
View your subscription info
- Sign in to QuickBooks Online as a primary admin.
- Go to Settings ⚙ and select Subscriptions and billing.
- Review the information in each section.
- To view payment history: In the QuickBooks Online tile, select View payment history. Your billing history shows the last 6 months’ bills.
- To view older invoices, reach out to our support team.
Update or change your payment method
- Sign in to QuickBooks Online as a primary admin.
- Go to Settings ⚙ and select Subscriptions and billing.
- Next to your payment method, select Edit ✎.
- Update your credit card info.
- Review the address for your credit card. It must be the same one that appears on your credit card statements.
- When you're done, select Confirm card or Save.
Note: If you have QuickBooks Online bundled with Payroll, this also updates the credit card info for your payroll subscription. If you have more than one Intuit subscription, use Intuit Payment Wallet to add and retrieve payment methods for all your subscriptions.
Update your payment information with Apple Billing
Learn more ways to update your payment information on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro, or your Mac.
Automatically updated payment information
If you see iTunes charges on a new credit card, your card issuer might have automatically updated your information for you. Card issuers update payment information to prevent services with recurring payments, like Apple Music subscriptions, from pausing when a new credit card is issued. Sometimes card issuers might allow recurring charges to continue to go through on an expired credit card.
If you have any concerns about this process, contact your card issuer or financial institution.

- Something's not quite right.
- It looks like there was a problem on our end. Select Save again.
- Blank page/screen (unable to enter billing details).
- Subscription-error billing. For example, 'We couldn't process your payment. Make sure your billing info is up to date.'
The good news is we can fix this. When you update subscription and billing details, it's important to:
- All subscription and billing fields are completed.
- Verify credit card details.
