Accept Credit (and Debit) Cards in QuickBooks

Looking for ways to improve your cash flow? (and who isn't these days!)

If so, consider how one simple button within QuickBooks can improve your cash flow AND your efficiency as well. That button is the "Process Credit Card When Saving" option, which allows you to accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover card payments from your customers quickly and easily (the Visa example is shown in the screen shot below)

Once you have a merchant account set up with Intuit Payment Solutions, this button becomes active and ready to use for "one click" processing of credit card payments.

This solution is perfect for businesses that have have a fixed location. The process works exactly the same whether you swipe the card or just get the card details via mail order, internet, etc. (other solutions suggested below)

IF YOU NEED A MOBILE CREDIT CARD SOLUTION...

Let's say that you have a service business where you or your team is out on the road all day. Just because you are mobile doesn't mean you can't have a credit card processing solution that is simple too.

The Intuit GoPayment solution may be just what your CPA ordered to help improve your cash flow.

The GoPayment solution allows you to accept credit cards using your mobile phone. You can even get a Bluetooth card swiper and printer to complete your mobile credit card processing setup.

POINT OF SALE (POS) USERS HAVE A SOLUTION TOO!...

Intuit has a solution for businesses that are using the QuickBooks POS too. It is designed to meet the unique needs of retailers and others that are tied into POS processing every day.

THE KEY DIFFERENCE

Many of my clients have said the QuickBooks credit card solutions outlined above stopped them from having to do double work that is required if other credit card processing systems are used in addition to QuickBooks. In those cases, the data is entered twice. 

In the case of using the QuickBooks solutions, the data is entered once, and only once. Given this, be sure to factor in the value of your time when assessing proposals from various credit card processors.

In addition, be sure to carefully review the fee structure and costs of any credit card processing solution you may be evaluating.

I think this feature is newly added into quickbooks hosting and must not available to old users of QB. But this would going to boom the quickbooks market by making some most required functionality added into it.
Great and valuable content for me.

Quickbooks is an awesome tool for business owners, and having your merchant services integrated with Quickbooks is a no brainer as far as streamlining certain aspects of your bookkeeping. The only caution I would advise is to make sure you're getting competitive rates. Once you've set up your merchant services through Intuit and Quickbooks and are accustomed to processing transactions this way, it will be difficult later on to switch credit card processors, since many merchant service providers are not compatible with Quickbooks.

This is very niche and excellent content love to see more post like this..keep posting. Thanks for information ..bravo...

I used to use Quickbooks as our point of sale software, I've since upgraded but this is a very valuable resource for those who still use it!

Intuit is a great company but I would caution anyone before signing a contract of any kind with a credit card processor. You are almost guaranteed to be sorry you did. The hidden fees and surcharges may be enough to make you gag.

Although my company competes with Intuit Payment Systems Id have to say that the Quickbooks solution that they have is superior in the marketplace. The ease for merchants to reconcile is a godsend. There are many products out there that piece the solution together but don't have it figured out the way Intuit does. Nice product!

[Michael Rupkalvis]

Glad to know that there are plug-ins available so quickbook users can process with their own processor. I was unaware of that feature of quickbooks.

You don't even need Intuit's payment services to process in QuickBooks! There are plug-ins available that will permit anyone using a non-POS version of QB to process with their own processor!!! If you want additional information, please feel free to contact me.
