I paid for the subscription and all but I cannot get the payments to work for the customer

Hello there, Jacob. I'm here to share some insights on why you can't process customer payments. Let me get this into detail.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can process customer payments directly from QuickBooks products if you have signed up for QuickBooks Payments.

There are times that customer's credit cards and debit cards you process don't go through. This can be caused by many common issues, such as authorization problems or missing info. With this, I'd recommend considering these things if you enter the credit card info manually:

• Make sure the credit card number and verification code (usually on the back of the card) are correct. Most credit card numbers are 16 digits long. American Express cards are 15 digits long.

• In addition to the credit card number, you need to enter a verification code. For most cards, like Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards, it's the 3-digit code on the back of the card. For American Express, it's the 4-digit code on the front of the card.

• Make sure there are no special characters or spaces in the credit card number or other data fields.

For debit cards:

• In QuickBooks Online, debit cards must be associated with a larger credit card company to process them like a credit card. This means there's a logo for companies like Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express.

• If you don't see a logo on the card, or it's not associated with a larger credit card company, you may not be able to process it.

• Debit card transactions can get declined if your customer doesn't have enough money to cover it. Consider reaching out to them to make sure the card is still valid.

Kindly note that you can only keep customers' payment info on file if they give permission to store it in their profile. Additionally, you have to confirm their permission each time you bill them.
