I spoke with sales and they could only suggest a credit card reader that has to be used with the mobile app but we don't want that on an employee's phone. Are there any card readers that integrate with QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop? Even off brand options? Most of what I can find is for the app or QB online. We have really low volume of swiped cards, but would like to add the option for the occasional walk-in customers. (we're a industrial tooling distributor/wholesale, not retail)

Hi there, daraatdykehouse.

Let me share some information about QuickBooks card readers and the programs they work best with.

We have a dedicated card reader for QuickBooks Desktop. It is called QuickBooks Chip and Magstripe Card Reader. This reader accepts EMV chip cards, as well as debit and credit cards with magstripe.

To charge and connect it to your QuickBooks Desktop, you'll have to use a micro-USB cable, which is included once you purchase the device. To learn more about how the reader works, I'd recommend contacting our Sales Team. I've also attached an article about supported payment card readers: QuickBooks Payments card reader features and compatibility.

Although, you can use other brands in taking customer payments. You may search and read some reviews online to ensure that you'll get the functionalities you need for your business.

For more tips in handling your sales and customer transactions in the program, feel free to check some topics from our Help Article page.

Don't hesitate to leave a comment below if there's anything else you need. I'll be around to help.

When I spoke with sales earlier today and chatted later with them they didn't give me this option. How can I buy it if they don't show it? Do you have a link? I tried googling it as well. I only see the attached options when logged into merchant service center.
