I do it, but for historical reasons.  If you are already billing the
customers with QB, then yes you can run credit card transactions through it.
You are at Intuit's mercy for fees though.  The only good thing I guess is
that automatically syncs the transactions and fees with your billing and
accounting.  There can be the occasional glitch in that process.  Watch for
a mysterious new phantom customer named "Quickbooks Customer", that
indicates the card was processed but the transaction wasn't credited to the
actual customer's account.

 

Keep in mind there is Quickbooks Desktop and Quickbooks Online, they don't
work exactly the same.

 

If you are not already using QB to bill these customers, I wouldn't start,
I'd find something else.

We used the original QB for that way back when. Somewhere along the line we
upgraded to QB "Enterprise", which looked like the same program, except that
it could handle a database that was bigger than a breadbox.

We did not have any issues with it except for a couple of times when the
bank transactions got "out of sync". It was a SNAFU for a day or two, but
then went back to normal. 

If you need something quick, it can do the job.

Has anyone tried to use Quickbooks for customer billing and automatic
ACH/credit card payments?

Looking for something painless to start with.
