Recently I wrote about 10 reasons to try QuickBooks Online Edition, but it does have its limitations. For instance, its merchant card service doesn’t let your customers pay by credit card without your involvement. You have to manually enter their credit card information into QuickBooks Online. I’m assuming (hoping?) Intuit will make QuickBooks Online merchant card service like QuickBooks Desktop: customers can click on the invoice you e-mail them and pay you via a secure site without giving you any of their credit card data. This is one of those software nuances that might not sound like much but makes a big difference when you’re using it day-to-day, so we mention it when helping clients figure out which version of QuickBooks to use.
