Mobile Credit and Debit Card Processing in QuickBooks Online
Note: Intuit Pay has been rebranded. It is now the QuickBooks Payments mobile solution for the UK. The service still offers the same portable chip & PIN / contactless reader that integrates directly with QuickBooks Online.
Take mobile payments wherever you work—no bulky terminal, no long-term contract. The QuickBooks Payments mobile app and card reader let you accept credit, debit, chip & PIN and contactless payments face-to-face, and the transaction syncs automatically with QuickBooks Online. You can collect payment before a service, right at the job, and skip the wait for a cheque or bank transfer.
How it works
- Sign up in QuickBooks Online – go to Payments from the left menu or Settings ⚙ > Account and Settings > Payments. Complete the short application. You can also download the QuickBooks Payments mobile app and apply there.
- Order a card reader – a wireless chip & PIN reader is sent to you. No setup fee and no hire charge.
- Take payments – open the app on your phone or tablet, connect the reader, enter the amount and let your customer tap, insert or swipe their card. The payment is processed instantly.
- Automatic bookkeeping – the transaction appears in QuickBooks Online as a payment against the invoice or sales receipt you create, or you can record it on the spot.
Key benefits
- No hidden fees – no monthly minimum, no cancellation fee, no contract. You pay only a small transaction fee per payment.
- Fast settlement – funds are deposited directly into your bank account, usually within two working days.
- Works with your workflow – the app connects to your QBO company data, so you can select a customer, apply the payment to an outstanding invoice, or create a new sales receipt right from your mobile device.
