Hi, Xavier. I'd like to know if you're using the QuickBooks debit card? If so, you'll need to access and activate the virtual card first to avoid purchase decline. Also, your virtual card is available until you activate your physical QuickBooks debit card. This could be the reason of your issue.

 

Here's how to access your virtual card:

 

  1. Go to the All apps section. Select Lending, then QuickBooks Checking.
  2. Choose View account. Then, Manage account.
  3. In the QuickBooks Debit card section, pick Card info and complete the security steps to verify your account.

 

Take note of the card information, as you'll use it to enable the card in the subsequent process.

 

The next step is to activate your QuickBooks debit card. You can follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go back to the QuickBooks Checking section.
  2. Select Activate card. Create a PIN, then choose Next.
  3. Enter the Card Number, Expiration Date, and CVV.
  4. Once done, click Confirm.
