I have created my first invoice, customer has paid his end, how long before it shows as paid on QB and until I get the money?

Thanks for joining us here on the Community mohamed6,

I can share some insights about this payment processing concern.

If you're using GoCardless, the invoice is marked as Paid on the Due Date that you have selected on the invoice. Sometimes, it takes about 24 hours before processing starts.

Usually payments using GoCardless take a total of approximately 5 working days.

GoCardless schedules payments on the due date of your QuickBooks invoice and the invoice is marked as 'Paid'. The payment is collected from the customer's bank account 3 working days later. Once successfully collected, it is paid out to your bank account 2 working days after that. Watch the video for an overview.

Thanks for the reply, it wasn't using gocardless AFAIK, it was via card payment using the option for this on the invoice, I haven't activated Gocardless as an option
