Welcome to the Community, ngreenmasonry. There is possible reason why the payment link not showing on your end. Let me share detailed information to help you.
Before we begin, I would like to clarify are you trying to record a payment on your invoices? If so, we have to wait for the payment to appear in your connected bank account in QuickBooks. Once it has been deposited, we can go ahead and record the payment.
However, if your bank is not connected to QuickBooks, we can manually upload a CSV file of your bank statement to link the payment to the invoice. We can do these.
To upload bank transactions in QuickBooks, please follow the steps below:
- On the left panel, choose the Transactions tab.
- Select Bank transactions and click the New transactions dropdown.
- Tap Upload Bank statement, then select your files.

- Follow the onscreen instructions and select a QuickBooks account for the bank file you want to upload.
- Match the columns on the file with the banking fields in QuickBooks and hit Continue.
- Check all the transactions, then click Continue.
Once done, you can follow these steps to link the payment in your invoice, you can follow these steps:
- Navigate Get Paid and select Invoices.
- Pick the invoices to record.
- Click Record payment.

- Choose the Bank account that you have manually upload the transactions.
- Then select the payment that your invoice.
- Hit Next.
- Verify the payment amount and date, then click Save.
