I am done with paying for PCI insurance and all the things I must do to be compliant.  I am a one person show and the requirements are crazy.  I want to STOP processing credit cards and stop paying for the insurance.  I cannot find where to do this.  Please inform me on the process of deleting the ability to take credit cards.

Hi there, HBANCL. 

 

I'd be glad to share some information on how to disable credit card payments in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

 

We can simply stop credit card payments from processing through the Payment method. Let me walk you through the steps:

 

  1. Go to the List menu, select Customer & Vendor Profile Lists, and click Payment Method List.
  2. Right-click the credit card payment you'll want to disable.
  3. Select Edit Payment Method and select the Method is inactive checkbox. Then, select OK.

 

Note: Once inactive, the method will continue to appear in reports, but won’t be available when processing a payment.

 

If you have other questions about processing customer invoices and payments, you can check out this page: Take and process payments with QuickBooks Payments.

How do you disable Credit Card Protection?  My desktop 2022 QB Pro won't let me disable it.  Is there a work around?
