Say a customer received an invoice and wants to give you his credit card number over the phone (this is assuming you haven’t set up a payment link within your invoices, or that the customer is uncomfortable entering financial information online). Let’s follow the path of a payment through the desktop version of QuickBooks Premier 2013 (your program screens will look different in earlier versions). In order to receive payment this way, you need to have a paid subscription to Intuit’s QuickBooks Merchant Service (requires monthly and per-transaction fees), which lets you accept credit cards within QuickBooks, on your e-commerce site or using a mobile device.

You know by now that you can accept credit cards as payment for products and services in QuickBooks. It’s not an instant transfer, but it doesn’t take long to capture your funds.
