Question

payment rejected

I reported a rejected attempt to pay an invoice, and inquired as to why that was so. The response from "EmaicaD (QuickBooks Team) suggested I consult the rejection emails for a Reject code, but I received no email rejections, just an immediate banner after each of seven tries saying try again or try a different payment method.  My attempts to reply to the response resulted in "undelivered message" messages, and once again attempts to contact support put me in a loop of failed attempts. I still do not know how to determine why my payment attempts failed.

I appreciate you for providing us with such detailed information, Richard107107. I am here to assist you further by explaining the potential reasons behind the rejection of your payment.

Before we proceed, I would like to confirm whether you are using QuickBooks Bill Pay to make payments to your vendor. If that is the case, there are several reasons why a payment might be rejected. This is particularly common if you have recently signed up for this service.

QuickBooks Bill Pay imposes payment processing limits as a security measure to protect customers from potential fraudulent activities. If your scheduled payment surpasses your company's processing limit, you will receive a notification explaining why the payment was unsuccessful, along with an option to request an increased limit.

For more information on payment processing limits in QuickBooks Bill Pay, please refer to this article: Learn about payment processing limits in QuickBooks Bill Pay.

If you do not receive a notification about exceeding the processing limit and you have confirmed that your payment information is accurate, you may want to contact your vendor directly to address any issues with their financial institution or to receive alternative payment instructions.
 

Alternatively, you can pay your vendor through QuickBooks Bill Pay by sending a paper check. QuickBooks will print and mail the check to the vendor’s address that they provide.

To have a quick guide to understanding some common issues about rejected payment in QB Bill Pay, you can refer to this article: Fix Bill Pay payments rejected due to vendor’s account.
 

Moreover, I've added this article so you can use as a reference in the future in viewing payment history if you'll use Online Bill Pay: Enter and manage bills and bill payments in QuickBooks Online.

Paying promptly demonstrates to your suppliers and vendors that your business is reliable and prioritizes its financial commitments, Richard107107. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to leave a comment below. We are here to help.
