Accept major debit and credit cards within QuickBooks. There's minimal fuss and you don't need any extra software, hardware or phone lines.

• Save time: payments are automatically processed and recorded in QuickBooks
• Save money: pay fewer charges for handling cheques and cash
• More choice: you'll probably find many customers prefer to pay by card

QuickBooks card processing is ideal for professional service firms, online companies and retailers with computer access.

QuickBooks already includes everything you need to process card payments. You just need to sign up to enable the features. Then it's easy to take payments:

• Enter the amount of sale in QuickBooks, then tick a box to charge your customer's card
• Type in the customer's card details, then submit them for processing in QuickBooks
• View and print the receipt - QuickBooks records the transaction, so this is your customer's record

So basically, you type in the card details and QuickBooks does the rest. It's much easier than taking a cheque to the bank.
