I've received a message from my client and a message from QuickBooks saying that I've been paid but I have yet to see any money in any of my accounts

Hi @apeachycleanbyti, I'll share details about your client's payment processing.

Once you started accepting payments online, funds will be deposited automatically into the bank account information used upon signing up. But if this is the first time, online payments made by your clients will be reviewed and will take time before they'll be deposited.

Use the following articles below to learn more about online payments:

• Take and Process Payments in QuickBooks Online
• Why are my Funds on Hold?

I'm adding this reference to know how long it takes to get customer payments in your bank account after you process them: Find out When QuickBooks Payments Deposits Customer Payments.

It'll be always my pleasure to help if you have any other concerns besides QuickBooks payment and deposits. Please let me know by clicking the Reply button and leaving a comment below. Take care and stay safe!
