Email Payment Notifications

  • October 18, 2020

Using Quickbooks Merchant Center, we were receiving emails about payments being received when a customer payed an invoice. For about 1 week we have not received those notifications at all either our clients after the pay the invoice online. I've searched the community database and I can't find a valid answer on how to fix this issue.

It states that you need to:

  1. Choose Account from the Online Service Center page.
  2. Select Settings & Alerts.
  3. In the Email Alerts section, choose Yes for each notification you've like to receive.
  4. Enter the email address where you'd like to receive this notifications. 
  5. Click on Save Changes"

Except that those options have been removed and the information isn't able to be used, you can only choose a landing page and that is it.. Can someone please help me figure out how to get emails for payments to invoices (Note. They are NOT recurring payments, just normal payments from invoices.

 

Here is a screen picture. There should be the option "Email Alerts", but there isn't.

    I appreciate the complete details you've shared, @Javy.

     

    You'd want to make sure that your payment notification email delivery is set in the Account and Settings page within QuickBooks. Let me guide you on how it works.

    1. Login to your QuickBooks Online account.
    2. Go to the Gear icon.
    3. Choose Account and Settings.
    4. Select the Company menu.
    5. Scroll down to the Contact info section.
    6. Click the Pencil icon to edit your email address. 
    7. Pick the Save button.
    8. Hit Done.

    If your email address is entered correctly, you'd want to make sure that your email is configured properly. Let's access your email and review your Spam and Junk folders to see if these notification are being routed to the wrong folder when they reach you. You can read through this article for more detailed steps: Unable to receive Intuit email.

      Thanks for checking in with us, lynnlynn1.e. 

       

      We can set up the email payment notification directly on your Merchant Service account. Just check your payments settings by following these steps:

      1. Sign in to the Merchant Service Center.
      2. Go to Account. 
      3. Choose Settings & Alerts. 

      4. In the Email Alerts section, select Yes for each notification you'd like to receive.

      5. To get emailed each month when your payment statement is available, tap Yes for Receive Statement Notification.
      6. To get emailed each time funds are deposited to your account, tick Yes for Receive Credit Card Deposit Notification.

      7. Enter the email address where you'd like to receive these notifications. You can add multiple email addresses by separating them with semi-colons. In the empty box that appears when you click a notification's Yes radio button, enter the email address that you want to receive the notification. If you enter nothing, notifications go to the email address on file with Intuit Customer Service. (This may differ from the email you use to sign in to the merchant service center. More on email addresses.)

      8. Press Save Changes.

       

      For Recurring Payments, you may check out the Turn on or off Customer Notification Emails for Recurring Payments article on how to turn on or off customer notification emails. 

       

      Visit our QuickBooks Payments page for more insights about managing your customer payments on your account.

       

      Feel free to update us after performing the steps in the comment below. I'd like to ensure this is resolved for you. You have a good one.

      Were having the same problem. Using QuickBooks Desktop, in setting and alerts, there is only select home landing page?   

      There are two notifications, the fist when the customer makes a payment, and the second when the Monies are going to be deposited in our Bank.  The first notification is going to the wrong email address, the second is coming correctly to me.  

      We did not make any changes?   How do I change the first notification address?

      Thank you for informing us in advance that you've already checked the Settings and alerts section, PoolDesign.

       

      Just to clarify, do you mean that you can only see one option when you clicked on the drop-down list? All notifications are usually sent to the email address that is saved in your QuickBooks Payments account.

       

      In this case, I would recommend reaching out to our support team for QuickBooks Payments. They can take a closer look at your account and help you further with this.
