Using QuickBooks Online to send payments has been a convenient option for business owners all these years. It simplifies the process of receiving payments from vendors, especially for those who are already using QuickBooks for their financial management.

Recently, Intuit, the company that makes QuickBooks Online, announced pricing changes for QuickBooks Payments, starting on October 2, 2023. This means both current and new QuickBooks Online users in the US who use QuickBooks Payments will have to pay more. With the price going up, this could hurt your small business’s finances.

As part of the new pricing plan, Intuit is getting rid of monthly fees, and everyone will switch to the new pay-as-you-go pricing system. The cost of handling payments from Card and Digital Wallet Customers using a Card Reader has gone up by a lot, about 51%. If you manually type in card details, the price has increased by about 13%. For customers who pay through an invoice, the price increased only a little, by about 1%. And if you want your money instantly, that now costs 75% more. These price changes affect how much businesses have to pay when they accept different types of payments.

Small businesses want quicker and cheaper payment methods to speed up getting their money, cut down on costly processing fees, and keep up in a speedy business world. Traditional payment options take way too much time and cost a lot. That’s why Forwardly is the top choice for businesses to manage their accounts receivable.

With Forwardly, you can reap the benefits of effective cash flow management without any extra charges.

Forwardly’s QuickBooks Online integration benefits

Small businesses often face challenges due to delayed payments, causing disruptions in their cash flow. Forwardly not only resolves the issue of late payments but also provides a comprehensive range of features. Let’s explore these benefits.

Direct two-way sync

Thanks to the two-way sync feature between Forwardly and QuickBooks Online, our US clients can harness the convenience of immediate payments. Rest assured in the secure connection to QuickBooks Online, where all your financial data is automatically imported for added ease and safety. With this, you can view all of your business’s invoices and start requesting payments.

One-click invoice approval

Instead of navigating through multiple steps and forms, users can simply click a single button to give their approval. This saves time, reduces the potential for errors, and speeds up the payment process, ensuring that invoices are processed efficiently and accurately.

Instant payments

Late payments can be a major headache for your business. But with Forwardly, you can receive instant payments in 60 seconds. Yes, you read that right! Forwardly leverages the RTP® Network and FedNow® Service to move your payments lightning fast.

With Forwardly, you’ll only pay 1% plus $1 per transaction (maxing out at $10). So, it’s time to say goodbye to those hefty credit card processing fees and say hello to a simpler way of making and receiving payments.

Ditch the hassle of chasing payments in your business. Auto payments ensure your invoices get paid on time, freeing up your team to focus on strategic tasks like business growth and customer engagement.

With zero debtors, you can enjoy a consistent cash flow, and anticipate available resources in advance.
