My QBO account only allows me to select credit card and bank payments, but no options for PayPal or Venmo, etc. How do I add these as payment methods I can accept?

You can use PayPal/Venmo as the payment method in QuickBooks by turning on this option from the Account and settings page, Nana. I'll walk you through the steps.

Here's how
