Set up Business Services

You can receive credit card payments and make electronic payments directly using your software. You do this with Business Services, which replace the manual entry of credit card sales, employee paychecks, and vendor payments. Using the Internet, transaction details are imported from financial institutions and credit card providers to your software, where they can easily be reconciled with your bank statements.

Business Services include:

■	Merchant Account Service—which lets you process customers’ credit card payments

■	Direct Deposit Service—which lets you pay your employees electronically

■	Vendor Payments Service—which lets you pay your vendors’ bills electronically.

note : Business Services are one-way

You can receive credit card payments but not make credit card payments using Business Services; you can make electronic payments but not receive them using Business Services. Business Services requires payments in U.S. dollars.
