Batch action get paid by direct debit

Hi, David. I'm here to help you find the Get paid via Direct Debit function in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

 

In QBO, we have two ways to locate the Get paid via Direct Debit button. I'll show you how.

 

Here's how to send the invoices in the Customers section:

 

  1. Go to the Sales menu and then select Customers.
  2. Choose and double-click the customer you already set up a direct debit mandate.
  3. Select and place a checkmark beside the transactions you want to collect the payments. Please ensure the transactions are correct to avoid greying out the button.
  4. Click the Batch actions button.
  5. Once done, select Get paid via Direct Debit.
  6. A notification will show once you successfully send them.

 

For visual reference, I've added a screenshot below:

Here's how to send the invoices in the Invoices section:

 

  1. Go to the Sales menu and then select Invoices.
  2. Under Status, click Unpaid. Then, set the correct date.
  3. To filter all the 150 transactions, click the Gear icon beside Action, then under Rows choose 200.
  4. After that, click the Batch actions button. Then, select Get paid via Direct Debit.

 

For visual reference, I've also added a screenshot below:

Additionally, I've included these resources to help you learn more about utilising and managing GoCardless direct debit in QuickBooks Online:

Batch action get paid by direct debit

Hi David

 

After importing your invoices, go to "Sales"

Go to "Invoices"

Confirm that the "Date" range is "This Month"

Change"Status" to "Unpaid"

Go to the Cog icon next to "Action" on the right

Change the number of rows to "200" or "300" to show enough to cover all your invoices (150 you said)

Click "Save as Default" at the bottom of this section

Click the top box beside "Date" to highlight all the invoices

Click on "Batch Actions" and you should find "Get Paid by Direct Debit" will be available.

Once you click on "Get Paid by Direct Debit", be patient as it will look like it isn't doing anything.

You may eventually get a message that says "not all invoices are set up for direct debit, continue with eligible invoices" ( or something like that !)

It will then say "You have set 150 to be paid by direct debit (again or something like that)

 

You are now set up for that months direct debit collection.

 

The reply from CharleneMaeF is ok if you are only doing one invoice at a time.

By using my instructions, you can do all 150 at once.

 

Hope this helps

Thank you. Yes I contacted the team yesterday evening and after routine checks it has been escalated to a "senior". The call was cut short because it was evening. I was promised an email this morning but nothing yet with details of how I can track progress.
