Question

How do I remove all of the ads from quickbooks online?

All of a sudden Quickbooks online is filled with pop up ads for other quickbooks products that require me to click it off my screen to continue or see the entire screen. This slows me down when trying to flip between screens, reports and entries which defeats the point of having software to make processes more efficient. Surely there's got to be a way to turn this annoying and time consuming advertising off.

Allow me to share some information on how to remove the ads appearing in QuickBooks Online, @bill132.

 

I know this can be frustrating for you. The ads in QuickBooks are outlined to guide and suggest to you how to optimize your QuickBooks Online experience. Since they're affecting your navigation experience, I suggest selecting the X or Nothanks button. This will block the pop-ups from showing up again.

 

You can also pass along the recommendations to our engineers so you're able to reach a point of resolution as quickly as possible. We share up-to-date happenings and future improvements on our blog. Through this, you're able to get the latest news about QuickBooks and what our Product Care Team is working on.

Meanwhile, I'll be adding this great Community resource in case you've got other QuickBooks concerns such as setting up payments, managing your income and expenses, running reports, etc. Please refer to this article for more details: Community help articles.

 

Let me know in the comment section if you have other QuickBooks concerns. I'll gladly help you reach your goal. Have a pleasant day.

Good day, Selecting the X or Nothanks button, as you suggested, does not remove the ads. These ads are moving users away from QBO. When we select the X or Nothanks button that choice should be remembered by the system and these ads should not come back. It's a matter of respect. Thank you.

I aggree. These ads have more than made their points - thank you, but I don't need a loan, a credit card, banking - I don't need them today, I don't need them tomorrow, I don't expect to need them, no I don't need them at all... (my apologies to Dr Seuss)

 

I don't need any of these services please let us opt out and thank you for thinking of supporting my business. Just put a widget in a corner somewhere that says "QB Services" or something like that and remove this time-wasting badgering.

Hi, @bill132.

 

Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about removing the ads issue you had the other day. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at any time.

 

Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!

Please remove these stupid ads that now pop up every time I add a bill in QBO. Clicking X closes the overlay window, but then the very next bill I add, the same window pops up. You can't even interact with the dumb thing if you wanted to. I just have to click X to close it. This is OBNOXIOUS! Kindly remove these ads immediately. Very annoying!

I came on to the community forum to see if there was a way to remove the ads, but there does not seem to be. The constant raising of prices by QB was getting to be a concern and the fact that I can't remove product ads tipped the scale to me actively looking for ways to move away from QB.

 

Any suggestions on what products are available along the lines of QB?

These ads are relentless. No matter how many times I "x" out of them or work around them, they continue to reappear and it interferes with my productivity and concentration. The ads are not relevant to me and I have no interest in signing up for services that do not support my business needs. I pay a subscription to you use quickbooks and majority of the software is great, but the ads have gotten really out of hand over the last year. There should be a setting to limit targeting or to remove ads entirely. If there is a new product or service Quickbooks should relay that information through other marketing techniques and not through the software it self. The software is meant for accounting not ad marketing but over the last year it has become hard to tell the difference.

Click the X button to remove the ad.

 

Well just show it to you on the next page, and then the next one. Then we will change something small to the layout and show you all new ads.

 

How about the setup that doesn't go away because you don't want money faster, so your never fully setup. 

 

I'm using an ad blocker on a product I'm paying for to actively block garbage they force in every place they can add it. Even unremovable items like the setup banner.

 

This is unacceptable. Your a garbage company, full of garbage people.
