Learn how to get started with QuickBooks mobile payments.

Before you can take payments on your mobile device, you'll want to make sure:

  • You have internet and instant message access
  • You can use your device with GoPayment
  • You don't have a cover or protective skin on the mobile device

  • The mobile device is on the latest operating system release
  • You have a strong internet connection
  • Your speaker-phone is disabled
  • No other apps are running on the device

Step 1. Download the mobile payments app (GoPayment)

Android

  • Turn off TTY. Go to the Phone app, tap the three dots, tap Accessibility, and then TTY mode.
  • GoPayment requires you to turn on Java.

Step 2. Create a user ID from your approval email
