Thanks for posting here, @thaskins007,

 

You'd want to make sure that the payment notification email delivery is set in the Account and Settings page within QuickBooks. Let me guide you on how to do that.

 

  1. Login to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to the Gear icon then Account and Settings.
  3. Tap the Company menu.
  4. Scroll down to the Contact info section.
  5. Click the Pencil icon to edit your email address. 
  6. Pick the Save button.
  7. Press Done.

 

Also, make sure to update your contact information in the Merchant Service Center:

 

  1. Log in to your QuickBooks Payments account.
  2. From the menu, select Account, then Account Profile.
  3. Go to the Contact Information section, then select Edit.
  4. Change your contact information as desired, then select Save.

 

There are different email addresses associated with your Payments account. Each one receives different kinds of messages, such as:

 

  • News about your account goes to your Contact Email. This address also appears on your receipts.
  • Account access messages go to your Intuit Account Email.
  • Statement or deposit alerts go to individual email address destinations you set for each alert type.

 

If you need further assistance with this, please post here again so I can help you further. Have a good one!

The account was set up by a prior employee, and we do not have access to account settings; only users. The role options to change for Users are only:  Limited Admin, Full User, No Access.

Thanks for following along with the thread and sharing your concerns, @Operations21.

 

If you're still in contact with the prior employee that set the account up, I recommend reaching out to them and asking to transfer the admin role to the current owner. 

 

However, if you no longer have contact with the employee, you'll need to file an MMA Claim (Primary admin change request) on the account. By doing this, you can request that the company's ownership be changed. For additional details about this process, check out Request to be the primary admin or contact

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm always around to lend a hand. Take care!

This instructions are garbage.  There is no email alerts in the merchant section option.  It shows Email Alerts as a menu item but when you click on it, it only shows start page preference.

I've got steps to help you receive email notifications, AlpinePlumbIT. 

 

With the recent updates and product enhancements in handling email alerts, you can enable these notifications from your Merchant account. You'll have to ensure you've entered the correct email address from your account profile. This way, you'll be able to receive payment notifications. To guide you on how to review this information, you can refer to the steps below.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to the Merchant Service Center.
  2. Go to the Account menu at the top and select Account Profile from the drop-down.
  3. Select the Contact Information section and click Edit.
  4. Change the email address if need be and its reason.
  5. Then, click Submit.

 

If you're still unable to receive payment notifications, you can check your spam or junk folders. To do this:

 

  1. Open your email, then check your Spam or Junk folder.
  2. Locate the email or notification, and then move it to your Inbox.
  3. If not, please proceed to steps 2 and 3 in this article: Unable to receive Intuit email.

 

If the issue persists, I'd suggest contacting our QuickBooks Payments team. They have the necessary tools to review your account and provide additional assistance to help resolve this.
