Learn how to manage your subscription payment method using Intuit Payment Wallet.

The Intuit Payment Wallet makes it even easier to pay for products and services by sharing payment methods across different products. If you have more than one company, you can reuse your primary payment method for different subscriptions. Intuit Payment Wallet lets you store more than one payment method, so you can switch between payment methods if needed. 

Follow these steps to add a payment method using Intuit Payment Wallet for the first time.

Important: When a new payment is added:

  • It’s automatically selected for the current subscription unless you change it.

  • If it's assigned as the billing method on any Intuit products, you’ll have to replace it before you can delete it.
