Hi there, @Jethack.
Payment delays can be a challenging obstacle for businesses. There are many factors to consider as to why your payment to your vendor is delayed. No worries, as I'm here to help you handle these delayed payments. These are the following:
Deposit speeds depend on the vendor's account, the product you're using, and the type of payment when using QuickBooks Online Payments. If your vendor is new to QuickBooks Payments, they'll receive their first set of payments within five business days.
QuickBooks Payments accounts have this collections-based system or batch payments, which can lead to funds being collected together and placed on hold. In such scenarios, you'd receive an email notification explaining the situation and any actions you need to take.
Instead of trying the payment again immediately, it is advisable to check the aforementioned factors and review any received communications. If the issue persists after waiting for a few days, contacting QuickBooks support for further assistance is the best option. This way, they can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and help ensure that repeated attempts do not exacerbate the issue.
