Hey @CaptainEon,

 

Currently, you're only able to choose PayPal as your payment option when creating invoices. Let me provide more details and a workaround you can consider.

 

In QuickBooks, you can choose to Use Direct Debit to receive payments from your customers.

 

The direct debit option allows you to automatically receive payments from your customers via PayPal. This option allows you to create your recurring transactions and get paid easily.

 

This said, you can sign up for GoCardless so you can receive payments automatically without hassle.

 

You can refer to this article for more information: Learn More About GoCardless Direct Debit for QuickBooks.

 

Please feel free to tag me in your comment if you have any other questions or concerns. I’ll be here to assist you.

Thanks for your response, however, you've missed the crux of my question which was, you cannot set PayPal payments when you were setting up recurring payments.

 

I have set up PayPal and I can see the option on normal invoices but there's no option to set it on recurring invoices

Thank you for the follow-up, @CaptainEon.

 

Allow me to help add some details about the PayPal payment. 

 

You're right, you can see this payment option on normal invoices. However, this isn't available in recurring transactions. 

 

As a workaround, you can create a recurring estimate instead. This way, you can manually send the invoice and select the PayPal payment option.

Let me know if you have other questions about recurring transactions. I'll be here to help.

Still not fixed/integrated. Hugely disappointing and the reason I'll need to switch back to Sage.

Hello Mark, thanks for posting on this thread, sorry to hear your disappointed that this option is not in QuickBooks and that you feel you would need to switch back to sage. We have passed this onto the developers.

...Hmmm, no you haven't. You keep saying you've passed this to the developers but clearly you haven't!
