We received a message that our payment method isn't working

We want to make sure that we are just looking to provide a new mode of payment, and this is not a system glitch. Thank you!

Hello there, @joalarva. I'm here to provide insights about the error you encountered while trying to process a payment in QuickBooks.

 

The error code 81624 happens when the bank blocks or fails to authorize or validate a payment transaction related to QuickBooks. To proceed with making a payment, follow these recommendations to fix it:

 

  • Clear your cache and cookies, or try to update your payment details using a private browser.
  • Make sure all your card billing information is correct and up-to-date.
  • Ensure that the billing address in your QuickBooks company file matches the address on your card.
  • Make sure your contact number is formatted correctly using the +area code.
  • Ensure no special characters or symbols (such as @ or *) are in your billing address.
  • Try to pay later using a different credit card.

 

If the issues persist after performing the suggestions above, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Time Support. They're equipped with the tools to look into your account and perform a screen-sharing session to investigate this behavior further.

 

Additionally, you can visit these articles to learn more details about permissions and company settings in QuickBooks Time:

Hi there, @joalarva. I'll share some information about the message you receive. 

 

In QuickBooks Time, there's a wide variety of reasons that may cause your payment method to not work. To verify this, I highly recommend reaching out to our Phone support team. They can pull up your account in a secure place and review the setup. 

 

On the other hand, you can also contact your bank to know if there are issues on their end. For reference, check out this article: What to do about a declined payment to QuickBooks Time.

 

I also include this helpful resource that you can use as a guide in case you need to change your payment method: Change your QuickBooks Time payment method.

 

Please don't hesitate to leave a reply below if you have other concerns about your billing method. Have a good day ahead.

We received a message that our payment method isn't working

Last week I signed up for Quickbooks and the initial subscription for QB Plus and QB Online Payroll Core went through. Tried to set up payroll and received the two small deposits from QB in my business checking and entered them into the payroll setup prompt. Yesterday, when speaking to a rep I wanted to add the QB Live Assisted Bookkeeping and approved for the rep to add that service. Upon adding that service a message came up that said it couldn't process the payment and to update my billing information (all of which is correct for both the bank information itself and the card associated with the account). 

 

I've called my bank and there is no error on their end. They saw the initial transactions for Plus and Core and the small deposits that occurred and there were no issues. 

 

I've also cleared my cache and overall history (not just from this week, but for all time) and also tried it in an incognito/private window. Still, the problem is not solved. 

 

I have been on the phone with three different people from QB support team. The first two told me to wait 30 minutes and 24 hours respectively. The last support person of the three stayed on for an hour (maybe even a bit longer) to help do things on her end (thank you, Ashley!), but couldn't quite figure out what was going on. She even had to escalate it to Level 2 (whatever internal procedures QB has to help with situations like this), and no one got back to her. 

 

I'm strongly considering canceling my subscription and requesting a refund because I need to process payroll (luckily, but also not so lucky only for myself) this week and this is a serious issue that I can't ignore. I would gratefully appreciate it if someone from QB would look into an internal server/coding issue to determine what is happening. I don't want to have to cancel and request a refund if this can be rectified quickly.

 

Please help today.
