I want to ensure your customers can process payments successfully in QuickBooks, @jacoryn.
Let's check why they've received the declined notification for the customer's payment.
Usually, this happens because of the following:
Invalid account number
Expired credit card
Overlimit or past due
General decline, no other information provided by the processor
The issuing bank will not electronically authorize the credit card
Billing Address in QuickBooks Online does not match the address on your statement
That said, here are some tips and steps you can take to resolve the issue:
Make sure the credit card number and verification code (usually on the back of the card) are correct. Most credit card numbers are 16 digits long. American Express cards are 15 digits long.
In addition to the credit card number, you need to enter a verification code. For most cards, like Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards, it's the 3 digit code on the back of the card. For American Express, it's the 4 digit code on the front of the card.
Make sure there are no special characters or spaces in the credit card number or other data fields.
Use the customer's address from the US USPS website.
If none of the solutions work for you, you can consider asking your customer for another form of payment. If a customer needs to use the credit card you're having issues with, ask them to contact their company directly for help.
You should be able to log into your merchant service account and see the declined charges, with the reason for the decline. For example, perhaps the address didn't match or the CVC code was wrong.
In case you need to refund your customer's money in the future, you can refer to this article for guidance on recording a refund in QuickBooks Online based on different scenarios: Record a customer refund in QuickBooks Online.
