How can i set up to accept online payments if i am an independent contractor, with no ein

You can still set up online payment in QuickBooks Self-Employed even if you don't have an EIN, @lverser-smrs-gma

 

I'm happy to share the detailed steps on how to set up online payments in your account. By doing so, you can save time in handling your earnings. 

 

You've to select Sole Proprietorship as the type of business. Choosing this option does not require you to enter your EIN. Let me show you how: 

 

  1. Go to the Invoice tab. 
  2. Open or create a transaction to see the turn-on online payments feature. 
  3. Click Activate Payments in the bottom part. 
  4. Pick Sole Proprietorship as your Business Type and complete the required fields. 
  5. Hit Activate Payments

 

Afterward, you will receive a confirmation message when you use the function. In addition, the email contains the next steps you must follow.

 

If you're unable to go through, I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. They can have other steps to follow to use the online payment feature right away. Ensure to call them within business hours for a swift reply. You can contact them either using the Chat feature or directly call them. To get the link and phone number, check out this article: Contact Payments or Point of Sale Support.
