When you accept credit card payments from your customers, there are times when you need to update a customer's billing information. The steps in this article shows everything you need to know about updating/changing a customer's credit card information.
Note: When adding a customer's card information, Intuit will perform a quick validation on the card. This can result in the cardholder seeing a $0.00 authorization on their account. In the event the validation fails, you will receive messaging that the card is unable to be saved at this time. You will want to request another form of payment from your customer.
