The method of payment wasn't recognized by QBO which was Interac e-transfer. How do I mark this as paid?

It's great to have you here, @ASK81.

 

Let's make sure you're able to record customer payments in the program. If you use an external platform to process payments, you can keep track of those payments in QuickBooks by manually recording the payments.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Press + New, then select Receive payment.
  2. Add the customer name in the Customer dropdown.
  3. Fill out the Payment method.
  4. From the Deposit to dropdown, select the account you put the payment into. Tip: You can put the money directly into an account, like your chequing account, or select Undeposited Funds if you need to group the payment with others.
  5. In the Outstanding Transactions section, select the checkbox for the invoice you're recording the payment on.
  6. Add a Reference no. or Memo if needed. This is optional.
  7. When you're done, select Save and close.

I somehow don't have the option "+New" on the left side panel.

 

Am I not setup correctly? I am self employed but I didn't use the Quickbooks Self Employed option, I used the QBO option because I don't need a business registration number.

Hi ASK81,

 

Thanks for getting back to us here.  The process in QuickBooks Self-Employed is slightly different than other QuickBooks products.  If you use QuickBooks Payments the invoice will automatically be processed.  However, if you need to manually mark the invoice as paid, follow these steps;

 

1. Open Invoices and locate the invoice

2. Select the ▼ dropdown menu in the Action column

3. Hit Mark as paid

If you're on a web browser, select Send to provide your customer a copy of their paid invoice, or select Email if you're on the mobile app.

Here's a helpful guide for your reference.

 

Feel free to reach back out if you have other questions.  We'd love to help!
