Join nowOccasionally I am getting the following message. "We can’t reach this customer. Please verify the email address with your customer or use a different email." No matter what I do at this point, even deleting the addresses and typing them back in, the invoice will not send. This issue is sporadic and only started happening in the last couple of months.
Hello, SAMAR2014.
Hello there. Thank you for taking the time to post in the Community. Let's figure out the cause of being unable to send emails to your customer and troubleshoot it through QuickBooks Online.
We can perform some troubleshooting steps to fix this. It could be that the cache stored in your browser is causing the issue. Let's start by accessing your account through an incognito browser.
Use these keyboard shortcuts depending on the browser you're using:
Once signed in, go back to your invoice and send them. If it works from there, go back to your regular browser and clear the cache. Additionally, I'd recommend using another supported browser if the issue persists. To verify if your current version is compatible, you can use our browser health checkup tool. This helps ensure you'll get the most secure and best experience with the program.
If you get the same result, I recommend contacting our support team. They have the tools needed to check your account securely and determine the root cause of this issue.
I want to make sure your issue gets taken care of right away. Thus, I suggest reviewing our support hours as your guide.
Here's how to get in touch with one of our live support:
You can customize your invoices to personalize them. This way, you can add the details you need to make them more presentable and professional-looking.

Having Same issue. I’ve noticed this happening on multiple occasions lately. I’ll send out an invoice and then find out the client never received it. Go back and it never sent or had a message error in sending. This isn’t acceptable in my eyes. I’m having to double check each time that it went through and is taking up my time when it should be a fire and forget process. Yes the email addresses are correct. Anyone else having this issue or know a better way to deal with it? My CC Pay

I recently opened a new ProAdvisor Account and I'm unable to send any invoices to customers! Triad sending them to my own email address but still the same problem. I'm getting the message: We can’t reach this customer. Please verify the email address with your customer or use a different email. I contacted Quickbooks 3 times about that already and every time I do they act surprised and are saying the issue started happening only from the day I contacted them. This is beyond ridiculous. This is the worst technical team ever, they are never able to solve anything and give you advice for idiots like clear cookies or re-type email address.

we've had this problem pretty consistently..... multiple computers, browsers, everything.
The way we work around it is that we make the invoices, and then send from the mobile app and it has no problem....
Why?
Unsure but the website needs improvement.
