customer pyament service

We are using QuickBooks Premier Edition 2018. We would like to facilitate our customers to pay for the invoices easily to use online payment methods. We clicked on the "turn on" button on the invoice of the function "Your customer can't pay this invoices online", then a message popped up and said "Change invoices options", there are two options, credit card and bank transfer. When we clicked on either one, the message popped up and said "It looks like you already have a payments account with us that needs to be updated. To enable this feature, close and reopen QuickBooks now so we can update your account now. " But we have tried closing and reopening, updating and also editing the payment function from menu List, none worked! Could anyone help us?

Thank you for your reply! I guessed so that was why it didn't work. I will consider having quickbooks merchant service.

This same message is happening to me also! How do I solve this? I need customers to be able to pay right from their invoice.  

 

Thank you,

Hi there, @wolfaccounting.

 

You've got me to shed some light about receiving online payments in QuickBooks.

 

You can start processing online payments from your customers, once you've connected your account to Merchant Services. Just set your invoice payment preference from the settings. This way, you can generate a sales transaction afterward. 

 

To do that:

  1. Click the Gear icon on the toolbar.
  2. Select Account and settings, then the Sales tab.
  3. Under Invoice payments, use the pencil ✎ to edit your selections.
  4. When you’re finished, select Save.

For more information about processing payments in QuickBooks Online, please see this link: Learn how to receive customer payments for online invoices and in-person sales.

 

On the other hand, if you're not done with connecting your account, you may follow these steps to link them successfully:

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Select the Gear icon, then Account and Settings.
  3. Select Payments, then Connect.
  4. You'll see this screen, once it detects the Payments account.
  5. Select Next to proceed.
  6. When the account has been successfully linked, you'll receive a confirmation page.
  7. Select Done

To confirm if the account was linked go to Account and Settings, then Payments. You should see a Manage details button. This means your QuickBooks Payments account is now successfully linked to QuickBooks Online.

 

For complete details about this procedure, you can refer to these resources: 

If everything is all set and the problem continues, I'd recommend reaching out to our Customer Care Team. They have the tools to check on your account and identity the root cause of this matter.

 

To do that:

  1. Go to Help.
  2. Tap Contact Us.
  3. Enter your concern in the What can we help you with? field.
  4. Click Let's talk.
  5. Select Get a callbackChat, or Call us.
