How do I collect rent payments through quickbooks

Do you have a QB Payment account? Another option, you can use a property management app to integrate with QBO and collect the rental payments.

  3. Choose Set up Payments.

Thank you for following up on this thread, RiverbendNOLA. 

 

Specifying the destination account is crucial for a smooth and personalized experience. It gives you the control you need to manage your finances effectively.

 

The ability to indicate the bank account for invoice processing is currently unavailable on the Invoice page. You'll have to receive the customer payment before you can select the account to record the entry.

 

This reference provides in-depth information about the process: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.

 

When using QuickBooks Payments, it's important to note that you can only utilize one account at a time for collecting customer payments. QuickBooks provides the flexibility to deposit these payments into any standard business or personal checking or savings account, as long as it's based in the United States.

 

Let's configure the Payments settings to link the actual funding account. Allow me to show you how it's done:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks Online (QBO), click the Gear icon in the upper right, and choose Account and settings under Profile
  2. This will open a page that displays the company preferences.
  3. Tap the Payments menu on the left panel to view more options. 
  4. In the Deposit accounts section, enter the bank information and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process. 
  5. Click the Done button to apply the changes.

 

Please take note that the accounts listed in the Chart of Accounts section are specifically used for recording processing fees and standard deposits. The account in the Deposit accounts section is your actual bank account where funds are collected.

 

These resources provide detailed guidance on which account to use for tracking fees and payments:

 

 

In case you require more information about tracking invoices, payments, and managing your company's income, the following links contain articles to help carry out the tasks in QBO:
