Credit card processing in QuickBooks Online

by Intuit112 Updated 2 months ago

Great news! You can process and authorize all major debit and credit card transactions directly in QuickBooks Online. Payment information is automatically updated so you never have to enter data twice.

Accepting credit cards helps you to:

  • Grow your business. Make it easier for customers to pay you by offering a convenient payment option.
  • Get paid faster. Approved funds can be deposited into your account in as little as two to three business days.*
  • Get paid automatically. Set up recurring sales receipts and collect payments automatically so customers don't have to be reminded to pay you (not available in QuickBooks Online Simple Start).
  • Save money. No extra hardware, software or phone lines are needed. You could save $1,000 or more compared to buying or leasing a terminal.
  • Save time. The QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payments Service is the only merchant account service fully integrated with QBO. When you process a transaction, the information is automatically entered into your QBO company file. There's no need to manually enter data.

Note: QuickBooks Online doesn't currently integrate with a shopping cart.
