Hi wrc,

 

Setting up credit card accounts improves the accuracy of your reports, and allows you to easily keep track of the liability to pay it off later. In QuickBooks Online, you can select any bank or credit card account to pay your bills or expenses. If you don't currently see a credit card account in the Payment account drop-down, you can create one in just a few simple steps.

 

In a web browser or the desktop app:

  1. Click on the + New button in the top left of your page.
  2. Select Expense, Cheque, or Pay bills from the Suppliers column.
  3. Click on the drop-down arrow for the Payment account field.
  4. Select + Add new at the very top of this list.
  5. In the window that appears, select Credit Card under account type. 

For you reference, you can create any type of account right from your Chart of Accounts. Here's an article with those steps: Create a new account in your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online

 

If you'd like your credit card to be included in your bank feeds, you can also create it right from the Banking tab. Here's an article to help you get started: Connect bank and credit card accounts to QuickBooks Online

 

From the QuickBooks Online mobile app:

  1. In the top left menu button tap the Expenses + button to create a new expense.
  2. Enter the amount you paid, and how you paid (in this case tap Credit).
  3. Select the bank or credit card account you paid from.
  4. If the account isn't listed on the Select Account screen, tap +, enter the account name and description, and tap Save.
