My business would like to accept contactless / chip card payments using Quickbooks Payments and Quickbooks Online. Unfortunately, I understand the only way is to use the Quickbooks Card Reader which only works with GoPayment, an app for mobile devices.
The workaround is to create invoices in Quickbooks Online installed on a PC, then search for the customer/invoice on a second (mobile) device and accept the payment. This two-step solution wastes a lot of time. Is there a better way?
Currently, the method you mentioned (creating invoices in QuickBooks Online on a PC and accepting payments via GoPayment on a mobile device) is the main approach for processing contactless and chip card payments using QuickBooks Payments, APro05. I’ll provide details on other options so you can process payments more conveniently.
I understand that the workaround suggested can be quite time-consuming, so I recommend sending your feedback to our Product Development team. Sending feedback is a good step as user inputs can be crucial in shaping future updates. The more users voice their needs for a more integrated solution, the more likely it will be to prioritize such enhancements.
