I have so many screen shots of chats where I have been redirected, redirected, redirected. Today, I was online for over 5 and 1/2 hours. I am so sick to my stomach as to how much time I have spent online trying to get help, and LITERALLY have never received help. I watch some tutorials on youtube, but quickbooks is a total monopoly and I can't figure out how they get away with what they do! Here is my transcript:

I have over 60 customers a month. many have invoices that are the same amount. when they pay online, (that i pay for now) i am often unable to tell who they are, or what month invoice they are paying. then you batch my deposits, which lump many invoices together. this makes matching payments to invoices difficult, and reconciling my account a hot mess!

From Quickbooks Online to your merchant account. Please follow the steps above.

yes, I am familiar with this window. my accounts are not always the name of the person paying. also, that payment should show which invoice is being paid. also, that payment should not be batched with another payment because when it is time to reconcile, I can't separate them to reconcile each customer at the end of every month.

And it will be a lump sum deposit.

Mary Rhine at 6:23 PM said And it will be a lump sum deposit.

if I can use an example? You hire us to mow your lawn for $75 every month. Your account is your address. Your invoice number is the current month. you pay for $75 for May, but did not pay April. Now your neighbor is also $75. He pays, and his $75 is batched with yours. Now I show a $150 deposit. When I go to reconcile, I have to basically delete the $150 and manually enter the $75 for each account. Also, your next payment automatically gets applied (by quickbooks) to June instead of the unpaid April.

You can reconcile the lumpsum amount instead since the receive payment transaction cannot be reconciled since they were categorized as undeposited funds.

Mary Rhine at 6:32 PM said You can reconcile the lumpsum amount instead since the receive payment transaction cannot be reconciled since they were categorized as undeposited funds.

sure i can, but when I am reconciling 60 accounts, I need to be able to see how much each individual payment is.

irene at 6:33 PM said sure i can, but when I am reconciling 60 accounts, I need to be able to see how much each individual payment is.

On your merchant account, under home page, you may see deposits then locate the lumpsum amount and you will see the breakdown of the transactions with the customers name on it.

I am not trying to be difficult, but when a customer asks if they have an unpaid invoice, and I try to find their payment, but it's been lumped in with someone elses, it is very difficult. Likewise on my bank statement. I use that to reconcile (like everyone else). I am looking for 12 $100 payments, 5 $75 payments, etc. Can't do it if it is one large deposit. Go ahead and click on one of my customers names ( which sometime i do not know) it does not say what month they are paying

any way i can speak with someone.\? I would love it if someone could look at my screen,I currently have 7 windows open either waiting to chat with quickbooks, or where I finally got thru, and was redirected elsewhere. I have invested my entire day to this, and do not feel it is fair if I log off with no improvement to my situation. Any way to opt out of the "upgrade" that I was forced to take at least?

Once the money which is payment from your customer will be deposited to your bank account, automatically it will create a bank deposit in QBO. And if your bank is connected to QBO, those transactions will be download under your for review tab. So you need to match the deposit that was pulled out from the bank to the bank deposit that was created in qbo to make sure it is not going to be duplicated.
