Recurring Automatic ACH/EFT from customers

I own a salon/spa, and we rent out space to other people to do business under their own names. They pay us weekly, and just recently, one of them wanted to start paying via automatic ACH/EFT transfer. This way they don't have to write out a check, and we don't have to deposit a check. For Quickbooks Desktop, I'm not seeing the ability to receive recurring payments from customers, except with Credit Cards. Does anyone know how to do recurring payments for ACH/EFT?

Hi there, @558464.

 

Thanks for allowing QuickBooks to serve you with your accounting needs. I'd be happy to help share some information about process payments through ACH in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

Currently, being able to process recurring ACH payments in QuickBooks Desktop is not an option for us. However, you'll have the option to process a recurring sales receipt and have your customers hit the Pay Now button and select ACH as a mode payment. To do that, you'll need to sign up for QuickBooks Payments and then be able to receive ACH payments from customers.

 

Here are some good references that you can check out about the funding time for QuickBooks Payments:

However, if you need additional assistance with this process, feel free to reach out to our Merchant Services Team. They'll be able to discuss this matter further with you. 

 

That should do it!

 

Be sure to let me know if you have any other concerns with ACH Payments. I'll be around to help you out. Wishing you and your business continued success.

You're kidding right?!?!

I have just purchased a business with 144 monthly recurring billings - many have been set up for ACH. I have used desktop for two other businesses for years now, and you are telling me that intuit can't do this???!!!

That is absurd.

So here is another executive board level decision to force everyone to qb online, which is terrible by the way...

I'll be focusing on a work around: taking my business away from intuit merchant services.

To bad they are hobbling what once was an excellent software product.


Use our BRC ACH Payments Creator  to create NACHA payment files by pulling QB payments data directly from your file.  You  can then submit the file to your bank (many banks will accept the NACHA file format) to create payment transactions that will deposit directly into your bank account.
