What happens to pending payments when I switch account to QBO?

We have been using Quickbooks Payments (Intuit Merchant Services) for years to manually key in card transactions for phoned-in orders. We are switching over to Quickbooks Online and want to tie payments into Quickbooks. I started connecting the merchant account from Quickbooks, but when I got to the last step, clicking the Connect button, I get this error: 


"Upcoming payments set up from your other QuickBooks company won’t be processed."


First, there is only one company. There is only one merchant account to choose from when linking to Quickbooks. So what does this error even mean? We have two pending credit card charges right now in this account. Does that mean they'll be canceled? 

 

Also, will we still be able to key in phoned-in payments through the same portal we've always used or do we now have to do that differently? If so, where is that done?

Good Morning, @friolator

 

It's great to see you back in the Community. I can share some insight into connecting your Merchant Services account to QuickBooks Online(QBO). 

 

If you connect the accounts when you're receiving the "Upcoming payments set up from your other QuickBooks company won't be processed" message, then it'll cancel those pending credit card charges to customers. You'll need to wait until all of your transactions have been processed completely before connecting your Merchant Services account to QBO

 

To answer your second question, yes you can still key in payments from customers over the phone in the same portal you've always been using. Here's an extra link that can provide some additional information about payments: Take and process payments with QuickBooks Payments

 

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask. I'm always here to lend a helping hand. Have a great day!
