I see "add online payments tap and the payment I am trying to process. When I click on the add payment box on the far right, I get the error message that it can not be matched.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for letting me know, johnrT.

 

Let me help ensure isolate the error you're getting so you'll be able to record merchant service deposit successfully. 

 

Since the invoice is already paid in QuickBooks, let's process troubleshooting steps to fix this problem. Here's how:

  1. Find the invoice for the payment that generates the error.
  2. Void or unapply any payments against the invoice so the full balance is due.
  3. Close and reopen Merchant Service Deposits.
  4. The payment will now record.

To prevent this problem, I suggest not to manually apply payments to emailed invoices if the customer paid online. The payment will show up ready to record in Merchant Service Deposits after a couple of days.

 

For additional reference, you can check these related articles:

That should do it! Please know that I'm just a post away if you have additional questions about recording merchant deposit. Wishing you and your business continued success.

I was told by your help desk that there is a know problem with the merchants services window, when handling ACH payment with QuickBooks payments.  Please advise when this corrected.

The company I work for just started using online payments. Since we started receiving online payments from customers, I am having this issue. Every time I try to record a payment I get this error message: “A payment you are trying to download can not be matched or recorded. Please record your merchant payments manually.”

 

I've spent an hour talking with support and going through all of the troubleshooting listed here, but the issue persists. Is this a known issue again? Are there any other things to try? It's been quite a headache trying to figure this out.

Hello - Could this be an issue again? We just started using online payments with QB about 5 weeks ago, and I have had this error message since the beginning. I've spent several hours on the phone troubleshooting with support and the error still persists. The error is taking the ease out of the auto matching and recording, since I have to enter everything manually to get around the error. Any help is appreciated.

Let's make sure to handle this issue, jessforeman.

 

If this is something to do with the payment that you're downloading that cannot be matched or recorded, we have different causes and corresponding solutions to this error. But before we start, what specific error message are you getting? This is to ensure that we'll be able to properly address you.

 

Furthermore, you can go over to this article to check on how you can prevent the error: Error in Merchant Deposits " A Payment You Are Trying to Download Cannot Be Matched or Recorded.

 

Second, another way to prevent this is not to manually apply payments to emailed invoices if the customer paid you online. 

 

I've included these helpful articles in case you want some information in QuickBooks: QuickBooks Payments.

 

Ping me over if you need further assistance. I'll be here to help.

Here is the error message I receive when trying to record payments in Merchant Service Deposits: "A payment you are trying to download can not be matched or recorded. Please record your merchant payments manually."

 

I had the auto match and record turned on, but QB still couldn't match and record any online payments made by customers who were emailed a pay online invoice. I've tried all of the troubleshooting from the articles you've referenced.
