Note: If you are using QuickBooks in multiuser mode, you'll need to complete these steps for each computer you want to use to process debit and credit cards.

Step 1. Set up your account with Intuit Merchant Account Services.( Apply here. You only have to do this once.) You must have a merchant account to process your customer's credit and debit cards. Once you sign up, you'll be given a connection ticket which authorizes QuickBooks to process credit and debit card transactions. Enter this ticket on the Merchant Service preference window.

Step 2. When you create a sales receipt or receive a payment, use a credit/debit card payment method.

Be sure "Process credit card" is checked. When you click OK, you'll be asked to enter your customer's card number and other information.

Note: Using the Customer Center, you can add a customer's card information then just select it when you're processing a payment.

Step 3. Track credit or debit card transactions.

Using your online Merchant Service account, you can track all transactions you completed using your customer's credit and debit cards. Choose Customers > Credit Card Services > Merchant Account Services to access your account. You can also download card transactions you've completed outside of QuickBooks using Go Payments or the Merchant Services Portal. Choose Customers >Credit Card Services > Merchant Account.
