Unable to receive Intuit email from QuickBooks Payments

In QuickBooks Payments, you should receive an email within 1 hour after any transaction. Some emails you usually receive are:

• Approval emails
• User invitations
• Confirmation code
• Notifications from a transaction, deposit, or recurring charge (ReBill)
• Forms requested from the Merchant Service Center (MSC)

If you don’t receive an email within an hour, it might be caused by any of the following:

• The email was moved to your Junk or Spam folder.
• You use a custom email domain (example: johndoe@mycompany.com) or an email client (Outlook, Exchange, AOL, Thunderbird, etc.).
• Your internet service or domain provider blocks the QuickBooks Payments email address.

Follow these steps so you can receive important emails from QuickBooks Payments again.

Step 1: Check your email folders

1. Open your email and check your Spam or Junk folder.
2. If it’s there, move the email to your Inbox. If not, proceed to step 2.
