Is customer invoice Autopay currently not working?

I have called the help desk on two occasions, and they are no help. When I create an invoice, go to save and close, it automatically goes to paid invoice. This is keeping me from getting paid from my clients and customers. It was working fine until QuickBooks did an update a month or five weeks ago and this started. How can I get help from your tech. people?

We acknowledge the need to get this issue resolved, @Wimberly05.

 

QuickBooks Online automatically applies the customer's existing payment from the previous transaction to their new invoice. That explains why your newly created Invoice gets marked as paid. 

 

First, we can turn off the Automatically apply credits. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Settings ⚙.
  2. Choose Accounts and Settings. 
  3. On the Advanced tab, select Automation.
  4. Under Automation, toggle off the Automatically apply credits.
  5. Then, Save

 

Next, delete the payment linking between the Invoice and the existing payment. Here's how: 

 

  1. On the left navigation panel, click Sales
  2. Under Invoices, select the specific Invoice transaction (the one that gets paid automatically). 
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Hit the "1 payment made.." and then, the date.
  5. At the More menu, select Delete.
  6. Then, Yes to confirm. 

 

Now that the Invoice isn't marked as paid anymore you can send it to your customer already. 

 

Normally, these steps are expected to work but it the issue persists it would be best to contact QuickBooks Online Support.

Is customer invoice Autopay currently not working?

I see the intuit email "Unpaid invoices on your QuickBooks account" received 10/20. It states to request reprocessing of the payment from customers. I don't see mentioned however, the following detail. 

 

For recurring invoices with autopay turned on, if the customer does not reprocess the payment from this month (between 9/15 and 10/6), will future auto-payments go ahead as scheduled? So this month's would be skipped, but when the invoice for November is created, is their autopay still set up for future payments? Or do we need to have them re-set-up autopay in order for those future transactions to go through? Another way to ask would be, were all autopayments cancelled during the outage?

I'm to share some details about how autopay works, Kwindie.

 

If an autopay isn't processed in the previous month, it'll continue to work for the next following schedule automatically. It'll only stop applying once an autopay is canceled or if you've made some changes to the recurring template:

 

  • Total amount
  • Frequency
  • Terms
  • Payment options
  • Email address
  • Customer name

 

Your customer will receive a cancelation email for future Autopay transactions.

 

Regarding the outage, it'll not cancel your autopayments once it's resolved and will continue in your future transactions. Though there are some instances that the system may affect the entries, I'd suggest reviewing them to ensure the autopay is still turned on. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Sales, then Invoices.
  2. Find the invoice you wish to check for payment status. 
  3. Select the status field of that invoice line to bring up the activity tracker panel.

 

When you see the Autopay Scheduled status under the invoice activity section, then you know your customer setup Autopay.

Is customer invoice Autopay currently not working?

Hello,

 

We reported few months ago about autopay issue: Customer is on auto-pay, then they cancel it (for any reason), then they want to set it up again and they can't. There is no option to see the autopay again after a customer cancelled it.

 

I just got off the phone with the customer services and they said this issue is still being investigated.

 

Can someone from product/dev team provide a timeline for this issue to be fixed? 

 

Thanks!

Ariel.
