Merchant Service Deposit (ACH transfers) not matching and not depositing

Dealing with the same problem for three months is so burdensome, PowPow. I'll do what I can to help resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

I have some settings that I'll let you check on your QBDT to help clear up the manual matching problem. Before doing so, I would like to thank you for continuously calling our support and following the troubleshooting steps provided. 

Ensure that the Auto match & record-setting is turned on in your QBDT. Turn on automatic matching so QuickBooks deposits and records customer payments for you. Here's how to check: 

1. Go to the Banking menu and choose Record Merchant Service Deposits.
2. Select Change your deposit settings.
3. Check if the Auto match & record is enabled. If it's disabled, please turn on the feature to auto-match your transactions in the system.
4. Click Save when done. 

QuickBooks will now automatically group customer payments each day and record them on your chart of accounts. After this, I'd recommend reviewing the transactions in QBDT. For complete steps, click this article: Automatically record QuickBooks Payments bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop.

Once everything is in order, you may now proceed in reconciling your bank account. 

Additionally, I'll take note of all of your experience with the product and our support. Then pass this to our dedicated team to enhance your overall experience. 

Furthermore, check out these articles below on how to fix reconciliation errors and know the QuickBooks Payments FAQs:

Thanks for your response MicheleBh.  Have already done everything called out in your response and in the articles.  No change.  To be clear:  The ACH transfers match to the invoices just fine, but don't clear from the Merchant Service Deposits window and, much more frustrating, the Deposits remain in the Make Deposits window until I manually clear them, which is a time consuming process as they have to be batched properly so as to make reconciliation with my bank account correct.

After so many hours on the phone with tech support I have already done all of the easy troubleshooting items (like changing settings) and many of the more complicated ones (like numerous updates and changing my Merchant Service password).  Nothing has worked.  I need to move past the straight forward technical support as it has been ineffective and time consuming.  I can provide trouble ticket numbers, if that's helpful, to see what's been done so far, but what I really need is a level of support that can address this issue.

Hello, @PowPow. Please know that this isn't the kind of service we want you to experience with us. Rest assured that I'm here to help address your concern right away.

One of our administrators submitted a review on behalf of your concern. That said, they will contact you for updates or if they need more information.

Moreover, I'll be adding this article here to help you manage your deposit account information in the future: Manage your account information using the Merchant Service Center.

If you have any other concerns about QuickBooks Desktop, feel free to post again in the Community. I'd be happy to assist you further. Keep safe. 

Thanks Carneil_C and I look forward to finding a full solution to this issue.

I have been having exactly the same issue since January of 2022 and, like you, have spent many hour on the phone with support and tried the same  step but still no solution.  In addition, I have been disconnected from two agents after spending over an hour troubleshooting with them.  I feel like I am paying for a service and then having to to a big part of the work myself!  It's beyond frustrating!!

I can only imagine the hurdle you've been through in fixing ACH transfer issues, @epowell.

We appreciate your patience in contacting our support team about your previous QuickBooks Payments deposit not matching and depositing experience.

I'll have someone review your cases and reach out to you shortly. I recommend reviewing your email or Community profile for their recommendations on a regular basis.

Feel free to comment back if you have other QuickBooks concerns. We're always ready to assist further. Take the best care!

Mich_S, please advise.  As recently as today I am still experiencing the same issue.  No one from Intuit has contacted me nor has any resolution been posted here.  I check email daily and have also received to call.  Where can I find the solution to this problem?  Assuming there's something beyond what I've already gone through which has proven unsuccessful.  Much like epowell I am paying for functionality which is critical to my business but isn't fully functional.

Hello PowPow,

Thank you for reaching back out and following through with those troubleshooting steps. Since you are still experiencing the issue, I recommend connecting with our Support Team so one of our agents can review your account in a secured environment. I will be here waiting to hear how it goes! Let me know if you have any other questions. Take care. 

I am having the same experience with My Merchant Service Deposit. I have called the support team and have had Case numbers. As like the others I have done everything they have told me to do even updated to 2023 and was told it is in specialist hands and as of today I have not heard back from anyone. This Started September 15 and last time I talked to someone was on September 22,22 and they told me the same thing in a specialists hands. I am still having the problem and frustrating knowing we pay for a service and have to waste so much time on phone trying to fix and start all over with another person.

Hi, porta775.

I'd like to check this for you and get it taken care of myself. However, as much as I would like to get this handled directly, the case number requires pulling up your account information, which I am unable to do in this public forum.

I know you've already called in. However, I'd suggest getting in touch with our Merchant Services Center. They have the tools required to create and submit a ticket about this issue on your behalf. All account-related concerns need to be directed to our phone support for security purposes as well.

In the meantime, you might want to bookmark the following links below. We can learn more about the types of processing fee rates as well as steps to void a transaction:

You can stay connected with me by adding a comment below if you have additional questions about QuickBooks. I'd be glad to answer them for you, porta775.

Rose-A,

Is this really the best Intuit can manage?  Clearly this is an issue.  It has been one for months.  I'm not alone (thanks porta775!).  I've spent many hours on the phone with technical support and it's beyond frustrating to be told to go through another several hours of phone time and still not really know if this issue has been escalated nor any indication of when resolution might be forthcoming.  Undoubtedly development has a bug tracking software of some sort.  Is this problem in there?  Is there a resolution or scheduled roll out?  Is it even in consideration yet?  These don't seem like hard questions to answer given this is likely a code issue of some sort, hence the reason tech support can't resolve it, yet no one in this forum or on the phone can seem to provide a simple answer as to whether or not this problem is being investigated and scheduled for resolution by part of Intuit that is tasked with issues that can't be answered by front line tech support and to provide this thread with the means to monitor the ongoing process, if there is one.

Good Morning Rosa

Thank you for you getting back to me .I have been in touch with Merchant Service Center along with the Support Team a few times. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the program they have looked through all my settings. They did a rebuild and still did not work. I have tech's call me and we have worked on the program and still nothing. The tech said they have to give it to the experts and nothing as of today.

When I open Merchants my screen says "Sorry for the inconvenience, but we're busy righ now with maintenance to this service. If you see this message for more than 24 hours, please contact customer support " . Well it has been more then 24 hours and I have contacted them...

I am doing the same as the others I enter manually into my desktop. 

I don't feel we should be the one continuously calling QB back they should be reaching out to us either with we are still working on the problem. 

I'm not sure why you would have me looking at -Undertand fees for reunds or voided transactions that is not what we are talking about. 

Thanks 

Hi PowPow, I have had the problem that credit card payments would record but bank, ACH e-checks, would not. I had to enter them manually. Today I found the following in a help file. I entered all the payment methods that were not already entered. I believe the E-Check method not being in the list was the cause of e-checks not matching. Now any payments coming from a bank, ACH e-check, matches and records automatically. Hopefully this may help.

1. Go to Lists, select Customer & Vendor Profile Lists, then Payment Method List.
2. Verify that all default Payment Methods and Payment Types are correct.
   Payment MethodType

   Cash	Cash
   Check	Check
   American Express	American Express
   Discover	Discover
   MasterCard	MasterCard
   Visa	Visa
   Debit Card	Debit Card
   Gift Card	Gift Card
   E-Check	E-Check

3. Correct any incorrect Payment Methods or Types.
4. The payments should now record.

I appreciate you for coming back to the thread, porta775.

fpptreasurer10, thanks for having offered an alternative solution.  Unfortunately, changing those settings didn't impact the behavior I'm seeing, and the same issues occurred.  It was, at least, nice to have something new and different to try, so it is much appreciated.

I can see that you did everything you could, @PowPow. I'm here to share some details about this. 

The issue of getting an error when accessing Merchant Service Deposits in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is still ongoing. Currently, we don't have an estimated time frame on when this will be resolved. If your account was already added to the list of affected users, you'll receive updates about this via email.

The recommended workaround for this is to locate all places you've added backslashes and manually remove them. 

Please know that you can always post here in the Community if you have any other QuickBooks concerns. I'm always here ready to help. Have a good one. 

Divina_N

Thanks for your response.  Two questions:

1)  You reference a workaround where I should remove all backslashes.  What/Where are the backslashes you are referring to?  Is there a write up of this workaround?  This hasn't been mentioned before.

2)  Is there any way to confirm that my email address is connected to this issue and, if it isn't, to be added?  To date I've not received any notice or communication from Intuit except in this thread.

Good evening, @PowPow. 

Thanks for reaching back out on this thread. I'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction. 

You can easily get in contact with our Customer Support Team to ensure that your account is associated with the investigation that we have. From there, they'll add you to a list of affected users where you'll be updated via email on how the progress is going. Here's how: 

QuickBooks Desktop Support

Merchant Services (QB Payments) Support

Please keep us updated on how the call goes. It's my priority that you're able to get back to running your business as soon as possible. Bye for now! 

Just to be very clear - Quickbooks does not care if you have an issue and they prove it with the same old templated responses over and over and over and over ----it's it sooooo Exhausting mot to mention FRUSTRATING!

This started back in May for us and it did finally get resolved a month later.

Unfortunately, it started again last week!  We have to enter all merchant deposits manually and the fees manually.  Not sure why we are still using QB but, hopefully not much longer.  They are always raising the cost of this crappy software every year and this year was the worst and IT DOES NOT WORK AS INTENDED AND THE SUPPORT SUCKS!!!

Customer support has the nerve to send a survey when they do not do anything!  Oh, and QB please do not to tell your clients you will call them back the next day to check and see how it is going and verify a time ---WHEN YOU NEVER CALL BACK.  YES YOU, ELIZABETH!

QUICKBOOKS HAS THE WORST SUPPORT!!!!

Have they come up with a solution yet for this matter yet? We are into December Now and has been going on since September 2022 and we still have problem and are on the list. No phone calls or updates besides the price for the subscription going up by a lot of money and not being compensated for this issue. I was on the phone for almost 2 hours about the subscription price with no help and then wanted to transfer me to the merchant services next. I just don't have time to sit on phone with nothing being solved. 

Same issue here but for Credit Cards as well as ACH.  I've spent alot of time with QBE and no fix as of yet.  It will work temporarily and then not - so frustrating!

I have had the same issue and I'm beyond frustrated at the lack of help from QB!

I am having the same issues with my ACH's... and absolutely no help from QB!!

Hello there, @mowerman1.

Let me share information about Merchant Service Deposit not clearing in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

I recommend checking the Auto match & record settings to be turned on in your QuickBooks Desktop.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Banking menu and choose Record Merchant Service Deposits.
2. Select Change your deposit settings.
3. Check if the Auto match & record is enabled. If it's disabled, please turn on the feature to auto-match your transactions in the system.
4. Click Save when done. 

Once done, payments each day QuickBooks will automatically group customer payments and record them on your chart of accounts. Then review the transactions in QBDT. Here is an article for the detailed steps: Automatically record QuickBooks Payments bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop.

If the issue persists, I suggest contacting our Customer Care team.

For future reference, you can read this article to help you reconcile your accounts in QBDT: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop.

Let me know if you have questions about deposits in QBDT. I'm always here to help. Have a great day.
