Use items and categories in GoPayment

Learn how to use items and categories in GoPayment.

You can adjust your items and categories to meet the needs of your business. Here’s how.

Note: 

• This is only if you have a Standalone GoPayment account or use GoPayment when it's connected to QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Point of Sale. For GoPayment accounts connected to QuickBooks Online, here’s how you can process payments on the go.
• Items are only available through the GoPayment app on a mobile device. You can’t view items in the Merchant Service Center or on the GoPayment website. 
• GoPayment items are unique to the merchant account you create them in. You can’t copy or export them to other accounts (with some exceptions in QuickBooks Point of Sale). 
• Only a primary admin user can add items to sync to all users. If any other user creates an item, it'll only appear on their device.
