Credit Card Pyemtn Applied to wrong Customer Account

Glad to see you here today, @C Farally.

I'll share some insight to help you fix the credit card payment that has been applied to the incorrect customer in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

To sort this out, we can delete the deposit where the payment is and then delete the payment in the Customer Payment window also.

After that, open the Merchant Service Deposits page and it'll reappear. From there, you can choose the correct customer by typing in his/her name. Then, save it once done.

In case you need help with other tasks in QBDT, you can visit our general help topics page. Just type your concern in the search field and this page will route you to the related help articles, Community discussions, video tutorials, and more.

Please let me know how it goes after performing the steps above. I'll be around to help you if you have any other QBDT concerns. Keep safe!

Hi Kevin

  Thanks so much for the quick reply.  I have one additional question at the moment.  The steps you laid out say:

To sort this out, we can delete the deposit where the payment is and then delete the payment in the Customer Payment window also.

I see the option (icon) to delete in the customer payment window

 but I'm not sure what you mean by "delete the deposits where the payment is".  It sounds like I need to delete this in 2 separate spots.  I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through is, as I'm very new to QB.  Thanks!

It's good to have you back, C Farally.

I can help provide additional steps about deleting the deposit before you can delete the payment in QuickBooks Desktop.

You can find the deposit in the register and delete it from there. Please note that the Delete Deposit option will only show on the Edit toolbar. If multiple payments are in one deposit, you can open the transaction and use the Delete Line option instead. 

Here are the steps:

1. Go to Lists and select Chart of Accounts.
2. Double-click the account.
3. Double-click the deposit.
4. If you want to delete a specific payment, select it from the list.
5. Now click the Edit tab at the top menu bar.
6. Select Delete Line.

Once the deposit has been deleted, you can proceed with deleting the payment from the Customer Payment window.
