QuickBooks Payment Integration for Invoice Pay by Link

Make getting paid the easiest part of invoicing. SOTpay adds a secure payment link directly to your QuickBooks invoices, so customers can pay in a few clicks without extra steps, and the invoice status updates in QuickBooks once the payment completes.

Your team gets clearer visibility of what has been paid, and a great deal less payment admin.

What the QuickBooks Integration Does

  • Builds payment links into the QuickBooks invoices you already raise
  • Gives customers a smoother checkout with no extra steps
  • Updates the invoice status in QuickBooks after payment
  • Cuts the chasing and the manual status updates that go with it
  • Gets funds moving sooner
  • Keeps the whole thing simple, secure and easy to use

How It Works

Your invoicing process stays exactly as it is. The integration sits behind the invoice you already send.

  • You raise an invoice in QuickBooks as normal
  • SOTpay generates a secure payment link tied to that specific invoice
  • The customer pays from the link, on their own device, in a few clicks
  • The payment is matched back to the invoice it came from
  • QuickBooks reflects the updated status, so your team can see what has landed

Because the link carries the invoice reference, payments arrive identified rather than as a receipt somebody has to work backwards from.

Card Data Never Touches QuickBooks

Your customer enters their card details on SOTpay's secure payment page, not in QuickBooks and not to a member of your team over the phone or by email. QuickBooks receives the payment status, never the card number.

That keeps your accounting system, and the people using it, outside PCI DSS scope, and it puts an end to card details being read out over the phone or scribbled on a pad.

Who It Suits

  • Businesses invoicing through QuickBooks and chasing payment afterwards
  • Accountancy practices billing retainers and project work
  • Small and medium businesses without a dedicated credit control function
  • Teams spending real time on manual status updates
  • Anyone still taking card details over the phone against a QuickBooks invoice

Delivered Through SOTsync Pro

The QuickBooks connection is part of SOTsync Pro, SOTpay's accounting sync product. If you run more than one finance system, the same approach covers Xero and iplicit, and the full set is on the integrations page.

QuickBooks Integration Questions

How does SOTpay work with QuickBooks?

SOTpay adds a secure payment link to the invoices you raise in QuickBooks. Your customer pays through that link and the invoice status updates in QuickBooks once the payment completes, so your team can see what has been settled without checking anywhere else.

Can my customers pay a QuickBooks invoice by link?

Yes. The payment link is built into the invoice, so your customer can pay straight from it rather than being sent elsewhere or having to ring you with a card number.

Does the invoice update automatically in QuickBooks?

The payment request is generated against a specific invoice, so when it is paid the payment is matched back to that invoice and the status updates in QuickBooks. That removes the manual step of finding the payment and marking the invoice off.

Is card data stored in QuickBooks?

No. Card details are entered on SOTpay's secure hosted page and are never held in QuickBooks or seen by your staff. QuickBooks receives the payment status, not the card number, which keeps your accounting system out of PCI DSS scope.

Do I need a developer to set this up?

No. The connection is configured rather than built. Our team sets it up with you and confirms what is needed for your account.

What if we use another accounting system as well as QuickBooks?

Yes. The same accounting sync covers Xero and iplicit, so businesses running more than one finance system can use the same payment process across all of them.

How does this actually speed up payment?

Mostly by removing the wait. Your customer can pay the moment they open the invoice rather than waiting to be chased, arranging a transfer, or finding somebody to give a card number to. The payments that used to sit in that gap tend to land far sooner.
