When trying to record merchant service deposits I am getting an error 

“A payment you are trying to download cannot be matched or recorded. Please record your merchant payments manually.”

I want to be able to have this streamlined and not enter it manually.  Customer service is not able to fix the issue.  Thoughts??

Hello there, Hazel L.


This isn’t what I want for you when using the merchant services feature. You should be able to use the Dismiss transactions seamlessly since a patch was released via Payments Server update. Make sure to download the latest maintenance release to resolve this unexpected behavior.


Here’s how:

 

  1. Go to the Help menu at the top to select the Update QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Tap the Update Now tab and mark the box for Reset Update to remove previously downloaded releases.
  3. Hit the Get Updates button and OK to continue.
  4. Once done, close and reopen QuickBooks to kick off the installation.

Next, open your merchant account and try downloading the transactions. If you continue to get the same result, follow the recommended steps in the following article: Error in Merchant Deposits "A payment you are trying to download cannot be matched or recorded".


I’m adding a guide that contains resources to help easily perform any QuickBooks Payments related tasks: Merchant Services.


Please let me know if there's any other way I can be of assistance. As always, I'm just a few clicks away if you have any questions. Have a good one.

Thank you for getting back with me.  I have done all the steps with the same error message.  I have spoken with customer service 3 times and all have me do the same steps which was in the steps you provided as well.  I don't want to dismiss them I want to record them so that it will enter the deposit and service charge for me.  I am entering 90% of my credit card sales manually.

    I'm getting the dreaded "A payment you're trying to download can't be matched or recorded. Please record your merchant payments manually." I have dozens of invoices with payments coming in. A few of them record, but most do not. It doesn't seem to be related to the payment type. I have not had this problem in previous years (back to 2016). I went through the troubleshooting without success. Please help!

    How is this still an open unresolved issue?  I have had this problem for years.  Sometimes it will work and sometimes I get the dreaded error message.  Intuit is offering no solution except for contacting them to be on the phone for hours only to not resolve the issue.  I have followed the instructions, I have updated my QB, I have turned off auto matching, I have turned it back on.  I don't get how you can offer this feature, but do not support it when it doesn't work.  Annoying af

    I'm not surprised at all - QB does not care about their customers. I get these messages all the time and have to manually enter transactions that QB IS PAID HANDLE.

     

    They really do not have any concern OH BUT WAIT - LET'S MODIFY AND CHANGE THINGS THAT ARE NOT OF ANY ISSUE SO WE CAN CHARGE CUSTOMERS OUTRAGEOUS UPGRADE FEES!

     

    *****QB PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND WITH YOUR SAME OLD BORING TEMPLATED REPLIES - ALL OF YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE TIRED OF READING HOW CONCERNED YOU ARE!

    I can't get my deposits to record automatically and can not find how to do it manually.  Everything I've read says something different and there is no clear instructions that I can find.

    Good morning LauraRoseHenning,

     

    Thanks for chiming in on the thread. I will be happy to share how to record these payments manually. Here's how:

     

    1. Turn off the automatic matching setting by going to the Banking menu and selecting Record Merchant Service Deposits.
    2. Select Change your deposit settings.
    3. Turn off Auto match & record settings and Save.
    4. Then, go to the Banking menu and select Record Merchant Service Deposits.
    5. Click the Add payments to record tab and select the small arrow icon ▼ next to the first deposit on the list.
    6. Review the payments in QuickBooks.
    7. Select Add payments in the Action column to add payments to the bank deposit.
    8. Compare the deposit total in QuickBooks with your bank statement's deposit for that day.
    9. When everything matches, select Save and close.
    10. Review each bank deposit on the list.
    11. When you've added all the payments in QuickBooks to a bank deposit, select Record Deposit.

     

    The deposits you record will move to the Recorded tab. Therefore, each deposit in QuickBooks should match the corresponding deposit and bank statement.
