What is the difference between payment account and payment method?

Hi there, 

Welcome to the Community. I'll be happy to help you get on track with using QuickBooks and understanding the terminologies used. 

A payment account is any account you use to deposit money or spend money. The payment method is how a customer chooses to pay the seller. Examples of payment methods are Cash, Debit, Credit etc. I encourage you to check out some of the training tools we offer below:
