Question

Permissions for schedule online payment option

Hello! 

 

We are looking to start doing online payments through quickbooks. I am not the admin (I run AR and AP), but I have access to everything except payroll. When I went to select the schedule online payment it says that I dont have the required permission and to request my admin grant me permission. (theres a learn more that looks like its a clickable link, but it doesn't do anything) 

When we opened up the permission, it looked like I still had everything but payroll. Someone help us navigate what we need to do to turn this on for me.

Hi there, Joneill. I appreciate you for reaching out to us here in the Community. I'm here to share some information about the online payment feature.

 

The master administrator can enable the online payment option in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Thus, you can use the admin credentials when turning on the feature. Otherwise, you may ask your admin to do the process.

 

First, sign up or connect an existing QuickBooks Payments account. If you have a QuickBooks Payments account, connect your existing account to QuickBooks Desktop. If not, sign up for QuickBooks Payments.

 

After that, enable the payments from the Preferences 

 

  1. Go to the Edit menu, then select Preferences.
  2. Select Payments and then the Company Preferences tab.
  3. In the Online Payments section, select the payment methods you want to make available to all customers. Then select OK.
  4. Tap on Apply to existing customers.

 

These become the default payment settings for all invoices.

 

Once done, here's how to process online invoices.

 

On the other hand, you can check out this link to learn more about the different user roles and restrictions in QBDT: QuickBooks Desktop Users and Restrictions.

 

Aside from the online payment, you can also keep track of your other customer entries by opening the topics from this link: Get started with customer transaction workflows in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Let me know if you need additional help with online payments in QuickBooks. I'm more than happy to help. Keep safe!

I am sorry for the confusion. I am talking about the paying bills part of online payments. I've attached a screen shot.

Glad you guys finally opened it up for non admin users. Just wish it would have started like that. 

 

Thanks, 


Thanks for getting back with the Community about this, joneill1186.
 

I'm happy to hear AlexV was able to help and that you can now have non-admin users pay bills in the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop 2022.
 

I can certainly understand how having this feature for non-admin users would've been useful to have in place already. Moving forward, if you'd ever like to submit a feature request about something you'd like to see added to QuickBooks, you can do so while signed in.
 

Here's how:

  1. In your top menu bar, go to Help, Send Feedback Online, then Product Suggestion....
  2. Choose a Type of Feedback and Product Area (optional) from the available drop-down menus.
  3. Enter any suggestions/feedback in your Here is my suggestion: field.
  4. If you'd like, include your name/email in the My name is: (optional) and My e-mail address is: (optional) fields.
  5. Select Send Feedback.


Your feedback's definitely valuable to Intuit. It will be reviewed by our Product Development team and will be considered in future updates. You can stay up-to-date with the latest news about your product by reviewing Intuit's Product Updates webpage.
 

You'll also be able to find detailed resources about using QuickBooks in our help article archives.
 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply here or create a new thread if there's ever any questions. Have a great day!

Hello  

Are you sure you want to trust intuit with you banking or money? I would recommend thinking deep and hard on that and suggest using another provider to do everything except your accounting software. Separation will work in your favor in the long run. I personally do not even like that they have these built in ads for these services in the software. The software isn't YouTube, but I am sure they get paid per click they should ditch the advertising.
