Hi everyone,


Is there a limit for the number of Multi-use payment links? I created 10 multi-use payment links, and I cannot create the 11-th. It says 'Select at least one payment method', but there is nothing to select:

It Can't be that - I have the exact same error for single-use payment links.  Only sent out 2 so far today.  Now says "Select at least one payment method" with nothing to select.

I've tried different computers, logins, browsers - same thing on each

Thanks for sharing the details of your concern as well as the error message you received when using the Multi-use Payment link, gura, and ph20.

 

I checked here on my end and no reports were found of a problem with the Payments Links in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Rest assured, I have some suggestions for how we can solve this problem.

 

To isolate this, I recommend accessing the payment link from your QBO account in an incognito or private window.

 

This allows us to determine whether the problem is due to browser caching. Too much data stored from the browser causes inconsistencies that affect your account's performance. Using a private window helps to verify the issue as this doesn't save any data.
 

To open a private window, you can refer to these keyboard shortcuts: 
 

  • Ctrl + Shift + N for Google Chrome browser
  • Ctrl + Shift + P for Mozilla Firefox & Microsoft Edge browsers
  • Command + Shift + N for Safari browser

 

If you can access the Payments Links menu, I recommend clearing the cache in your default browser to refresh the system. Using other supported browsers also aids in narrowing down the problem.

 

Once you're ready, here's an article to help you match your online payments and invoices to avoid duplicate entries: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

Didn't work for me. In my opinion that was a cut and paste or automated response. 

As I mentionedn i used different browsers,  different computers and different users.

 

It Just started today.

I am seeing the same problem on single use links.  I have checked multiple times this morning and last night.  Still not working.

ok - just got off the phone with a human.

After refusing to do the clean cache/private tab etc (I've done it multiple times) she came back and said there is a limit to the number you can send ! I showed her I have sent 3 per day and only have one open.  I asked to talk to her supervisor because I didn't accept that as a viable reason.

She called engineering (on hold for 20 mins) and came back and said there is an open investigation in to this problem because many people are experiencing it. (which sounded much more plausible).  So I said "You agree it has nothing to do with a limit ? She agreed.

She linked my case to the investigation and said I will hear via email when it is cleared.

So I suspect it is a broad technical problem and nothing to do with us and hopefully will be resolved soon.

It's very frustrating that they try to off-load you with some generic reason and you only get the correct response if you push back at them.
