Unable to record merchant service activity in QB Desktop Pro 2022

Hi there, Desert Publications. 

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community.

I appreciate you for performing some steps to fix the spinning icon that appears on the Merchant Service Deposits section. With this, I'll be sharing steps to ensure you can handle and deposits the payments on the merchant service activity.

To start with, I recommend turning off automatic matching so QuickBooks deposits and records customer payments for you.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Banking menu and choose Record Merchant Service Deposits.
2. Select Change your deposit settings.
3. Turn off the Auto match & record setting.
4. Click Save.

Once done, try re-launching Merchant Service deposits to see if this work already without an error message.

If the issue persists, you'll have to link the same merchant account to a test/blank data file in QBDT. Then, launching Merchant Service deposit again. If it works, switch back to the original data file and start utilizing the MSD section.

If the details didn't work, you'll need to clear your browser's cache or history. In addition, your systems may need to be restarted.

If the issue persists, I suggest contacting our Merchants Services Support Team. This team is the best resource for such inquiries, as they're able to request account information. They can also verify the cause of the spinning icon and resolve it as soon as possible so you get back on track.

Lastly, you may refer to this article to view details on how you can record missing deposits or fees: Automatically record QuickBooks Payments bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop.
