Am i able to run my payroll using a credit card instead of my bank account?

No, @mknox0622. You cannot run payroll in QuickBooks Online (QBO) using a credit card, a bank account is necessary to manage your payroll. Allow me to discuss this in detail below for better understanding.

 

Currently, QBO requires a bank account to process payroll transactions. This ensures secure and efficient management of direct deposit transactions for employee payments and tax liabilities.

 

On the other hand, you can use a credit card to process payments for your sales forms. Credit card processing is different and specifically meant for sales transactions, not for generating payroll.

 

Discover how to configure and automate your payroll schedule with QBO Payroll. By setting up your payroll to run automatically, you can streamline the process and save valuable time each payday.

As I know, you can use credit card to pay contract employees and freelances as business expenses.
