Learn about your subscription #

You need a credit or debit card for QuickBooks Online subscriptions. Accepted cards include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. The card must have a US-based billing address. US territories are excluded.

To keep your account active, your card will be set up on a billing cycle. You’ll have the option to pay monthly, or you can save 10% with annual billing.

View your subscription info #

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as a primary admin.
  2. Select Settings ⚙, then Account and settings.
  3. Select Billing & Subscription.
  4. Review the information in each section.
    • To view payment history: In the QuickBooks Online tile, select View payment history. Your billing history shows the last 6 months’ bills.

Update or change your payment method #

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as a primary admin.
  2. Select Settings ⚙, then Account and settings.
  3. Select Billing & Subscription.
  4. Next to your payment method, select Edit ✎.
  5. Update your credit card info.
  6. Make sure the address in QuickBooks is the same as the one on your credit card statement.
  7. When you’re done, select Confirm card or Save.

Note: If you have QuickBooks Online bundled with Payroll, this also updates the credit card info for your payroll subscription.

Change your billing schedule #

Before you update your payment schedule, here are a couple of things you should know:

  • You can save 10% on annual billing.
  • When switching to a different billing schedule, you’ll get a credit on your new plan based on the unused portion of your old plan.
  • When switching from annual to monthly billing:
    • You may have to wait until there are 30 days before your next payment.
    • You will get a refund for any unused portion of your old annual plan that we can’t roll over as credit on your new plan.
  • If you have a payroll subscription, you cannot switch to annual billing. This is because your payroll plan has a monthly fee for each active employee and additional states you run payroll for.
  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as a primary admin.
  2. Go to Settings ⚙, then Account and Settings.
  3. Select Billing & Subscription.
  4. Select Switch to monthly billing or Switch to annual billing.
  5. Select Switch, then Done.
