Error -81593 (VALIDATION_ERROR) – Need Help from Support

I keep getting error -81593 (VALIDATION_ERROR) when trying to add a new payment method to my QuickBooks account. The message says it can't process my request.
The issue persists, and I need help from a human support agent. Has anyone else dealt with this? How can I get in touch with QuickBooks support without the AI chat?

Thanks!

Error -81593 (VALIDATION_ERROR) – Need Help from Support

Error code -81593 occurs during data validation processes, indicating an issue with the processed data, @fischerdav52. Below, I'll provide insights into the possible causes of this error and suggest steps you can take to resolve it effectively.

 

To begin, this error arises from corrupted data in the company file, incorrect entries, or an incompatible version of QuickBooks, which prevents you from adding a new payment method. To resolve this, you can utilize the Verify and Rebuild Data utilities in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to identify and fix inconsistencies. If you're using QuickBooks Online (QBO), try accessing your account in a private or incognito window to rule out cache issues.

 

If you need further assistance, you can contact our live support team in QBO by following these steps:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. Go to the Help menu and select Contact Us.
  3. Enter your concern and click Continue.
  4. Choose between Chat with us or Have us call you.

 

For QBDT, follow these steps:

 

  1. Click the Help menu.
  2. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us.
  3. Enter a brief description of your concern, and select Continue.
  4. Sign in to your Intuit Account, and select Continue.
  5. Select Chat with us or Have us call you.
