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.

• You must have a standalone GoPayment account or use GoPayment with QuickBooks Desktop. 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. 
• 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.
