Recurring sales receipts not processing payments after saving. Merchant services confirmed that there was an issue. Anyone aware of any workarounds/fixes or fix timeline?

Have previously used the reminder function. Would start by clicking edit and create, make any changes needed for the billing period, then save. If I recall correctly, this is the point at which the payment would be processed and a 'Transaction Processed' hyperlink would appear below the payment account details. When I started this quarter's process on Thursday 10/19, that 'Processed' link did not appear, but when I checked the client account, the sales receipt was showing as paid. Given that Quickbooks has made other changes to sales form templates, I thought that maybe this change was part of those updates. I continued working through the reminders Friday and today and finally decided to check our merchant services account today to find that nothing has processed. I spoke with Merchant Services support who confirmed that there was a system issue and suggested changing Quickbooks Payments - Bank, which is what we have always used, to Check. That did not work. Also have the same problem with the lone credit card, so does not appear to be exclusive to bank drafts. 

Here's what I'm hoping to get some feedback on:
- Any workarounds/temporary fixes?
- If there is a workaround, what should I do w/ the sales receipts that I have 'processed'? As mentioned, they are showing as paid, but no payments have been processed. We tried updating the payment method on one of these from QB Payments - Bank to Check but received an error saying this transaction is already processing and if we wanted to make changes, we would need to refund the transaction and reprocess.
- Estimates on permanent fix? We have about 85% of our clients on recurring sales receipts, so this is a major issue for us - of course it happens the one week of the quarter we are actually drafting payments.

Appreciate any insights!

Thanks, we are ALL aware.  Please get this fixed ASAP!  It is hindering your customers from doing business...you know sales, sales, sales!  NO SALES - NO QUICKBOOKS NEEDED!!!!!

 

By the way, please correct on your end who returns the your customer's calls.  It is extremely frustrating and a waste of our time to go through the painstaking process of trying to get in contact with a specific dept (such as Merchant services or payroll) and to note EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND THEN GET A CALL FROM SOMEONE STATING "SORRY I CAN'T HELP YOU WITH THAT, I'M NOT WITH MERCHANT SERVICES OR PAYROLL OR WHATEVER!!!  HOW HARD IS IT TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE INQUIRING ABOUT AND THEN HAVE THAT PARTICULAR DEPT CALL.  GET IT TOGHER, QUICKBOOKS!

I understand that you're only trying to help, but unless I've done something incorrectly in the setup that's contributing to the problem (no one has indicated that to me), including links on how to create recurring sales receipts might not be the best idea given the reason we're here is that the recurring sales receipts have failed! 

 

Another thing that Quickbooks might want to reconsider: after telling me that the only way I was going to be able to process our sales receipts currently (short of waiting out a fix) was to recreate each one (nearly 100) and process as one-offs, the support agent I was speaking with thought it was a good opportunity to try to upsell me on additional services. I'm sure there are some support scenarios where a client would be open to a sales pitch, but a significant failure of your platform that's creating major headaches for your clients with no timetable on a resolution is not one of them,

Did you ever find a resolution to this?  I'm suffering with what seems to be the exact the same issue (including the customer service/supports woes).  

 

Thanks,

Hello OgreTek, I'm curious if you've had a chance to connect with QB's on this issue. I spoke with Customer Support on March 28th and received the standard reply of "It's a known issue and we're working on it". I was also assured that I would be contacted as soon as a fix was complete. Oh boy! I only have a few transactions per month but I can't imagine having to manually run a bunch of CC's each month. What an inconvenience, to say the least.

Cheers, J
