Venmo Payments Help

Hello,

 

When making an invoice, I saw the new option for the customer to pay by Venmo or Paypal so I kept it available. My customer paid with Venmo but the invoice still hasn't showed up as paid in Quickbooks, only viewed.

 

Am I correct in thinking that he is using his Venmo account to send money to my connected bank account through QB? Or do I have to have Venmo as well? I would think Quickbooks would have stopped me from accepting Venmo if they required me to have a Venmo account connected.

 

Thank you.

Thanks for joining the Community, LPeav.

 

If you have a QuickBooks Payments account connected with your QuickBooks Online account, you'll receive a payment confirmation email and the invoice will be marked as paid once a customer has paid it through Venmo.

 

You can also view statuses of Venmo and PayPal payments from your Sales screen. The payments will appear as coming from Venmo or PayPal.

 

Since your customer's paid an invoice of theirs, but that particular invoice isn't showing as paid, I'd recommend checking your browser. It's possible this could have something to do with temporary internet files. Browsing applications store these types of records, but sometimes they can cause issues with certain webpages. You can open a private window and check to see if you're able to see the correct status.

 

Here's how to access incognito mode in some of the most commonly used web browsers:

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Option + P

 

If the correct customer displays after saving transactions while browsing privately, it's safe to say this problem's being caused by your browser. It can be fixed by clearing cached data and Intuit-specific cookies.

 

In the event it continues occurring while using incognito, you'll initially want to try switching to another browsing application.

 

Here's a list of supported browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Safari 11 or newer

 

You can also check a browser's compatibility with your books by utilizing our browser health checkup tool. QuickBooks supports the current and two previous versions of browsers. If you find that you're using an older version, make sure to update it to its latest release. Steps for doing so can be found on the particular company's website.

 

In the event you've found no problems that could be causing this with your browser, I'd recommend using a different device and/or internet connection. If it continues happening on other devices and/or internet connections, you'll want to get in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up your account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.

 

They can be reached while you're signed in.
