Is there a way to go back and change a payment account for a bunch of cleared transactions?

I’ve got you covered, @katie AKA PPPV1.

As long as you haven’t reconciled your account yet, you can always modify your transactions in QuickBooks Online.

You can manually edit your cleared transactions and change the payment account. Once done, you can follow these instructions below to reconcile:

1. Select the Gear icon, then Reconcile.
2. Click on the drop-down menu under Accounts and select the account you want to reconcile.
3. Enter the Ending balance and Ending date based on your bank statement information.
4. Press Start reconciling.
   
5. Match transactions to your bank statement and check them off one by one.
6. Apply filters so transactions are easier to find.
   
7. Keep going until the Difference field is zero.

Thanks for the reply. I think I may be missing a step somewhere but I'm not certain.  I'm new to double-entry accounting. My credit card processor deposits directly into my checking account, and my checking account is linked to Quickbooks so it automatically uploads my transactions. As for expenses, I categorize them to their various accounts rather than enter expenses and match them, except for my accounts payable for inventory which I do enter as bills. As for my credit card transactions, once the deposits show up in my bank account I approve them and then go to the credit card clearing account and change them to Cleared.  I was reading earlier something about doing a bank deposit for my credit transactions which I have never done.  Am I supposed to be doing that or does it matter?  Since these credit transactions show up on my monthly bank statement they do get Reconciled along with everything else.
