I am getting charged a fee when a client pays through the quickbooks invoicing emailed. Is there a way to not be charged a fee?

Let me share some information about transaction fees, larimhd. 

You can send your invoices in QuickBooks Online (QBO) for free. However, fees are drafted when signing up with Payments. 

This means, there will be a payment charge of 2.9% of the total amount + 25c per transaction when your client pays the invoice (using the link that's attached to it).

The transaction fees also include a credit card processing service, set up and monthly service fees, discount rates, per authorizations fees, and others. For more details about this one, check out this link: Standard Payment Fees and Rates .It also provides you an overview of the fees and plans for QuickBooks Payments.

If there are any fees/charges you need to clarify, please reach out to our Merchant Services Team. They'll pull up your account in a secure environment and provide you details of your inquiry.

Such BS!!  Intuit now charges a fee even for bank to bank checking account drafts.  Intuit updated the subscription terms because they wanted more of your money.

This is such BS. How is it that Intuit can charge me for getting paid, yet it's illegal for me to pass that charge to my customers??? It's crazy that a company who has literally built their business on the backs of us small business owners,  penalizes us for making it convenient for our customers to pay.  I truly cannot wait for the opportunity to use any company besides intuit because this is extortion of the Small Business Owner. We're your Bread and Butter, yet you rape us for every dollar you can. 

I already pay monthly to use Quickbooks but now I'm also having to pay for every single time a client pays me. Serves me right for not doing enough research before signing up. Time to start asking friends for better app suggestions. I just wanted something to make freelancing simpler and TBH I was already having my doubts about whether I was getting my money's worth every month. I should have paid more attention when the friend who initially suggested this app to me later told me they quit and found something else. 

Hi there, @williamdavis. 

QuickBooks will automatically convert the percentage amount to decimal point once you enter it in the Rate column.

The program will also round off any numbers to the nearest hundredths in the AMOUNT column. This is the reason why it's converted to 0.03.

This is how QuickBooks is programmed. Thus, you'll want to take note of its difference when recording the fee. You can write these down in the Message on invoice or Message on statement field. 

I can see the impact of this matter to your business. Therefore, let me take note of this as a suggestion to improve your QuickBooks experience.

On the other hand, you can send a feedback to our product developers.  This way, they can review your suggestion and enhance the software in our future updates.
