I am not using Billing Manager Merchant Services. So the remittance slip does not offer credit card sales. I think there is a bug because it continues to be attached to the invoice even with the box checked to do otherwise. Also, we invoice on the spot from the trucks with laptops and we collect upon completion. The subject line on the email says " You have received an invoice from WyattWorks due on xx/xx/xxxx. " This does not work for COD businesses. So the techs have to edit each subject line before it goes out. Is it possible to make the subject line editable as a default?

Why would you offer recurring billing on billing manager, and not make it part of the basic package for quickbooks online? Why not make it so billing manager syncs with Quickbooks Pro for $9.95 a month? These options bring an amazing lack of creativity and affordability for the small business owner like myself. It frustrates me that I paid so much for a Quickbooks Pro, and have so little online integration without forking out a boatload of cash more. Lame, lame, lame.

You guys have always been great for my Business! Why do you refuse to let me make invoice's with the Iphone? It's such a small thing to add and would put this product at the head of the crowd. Everyone posting in these comments has had the same problem, and either you're ignoring them which just makes us angry or your incapable, Which is sad. I know that technically this is a "Free" service, but I pay for your software, I pay for Merchant Service. I think it's only fair that we the people get what we want. Or at the very least explain yourselves, don't just ignore us. Come on Intuit! You guys have always been great for my Business! Why do you refuse to let me make invoice’s with the Iphone?

However, if you don't have a Merchant Account before exporting, but later add it in QuickBooks Online, then the QuickBooks Online rates apply. These rates are listed at http://quickbooksonline.intuit.com/screen_mas.cfm. They are geared to save you money if you have a higher transaction volume.

F.e. the bank-account-number, VAT-number, Chamber-of-Commerce number. The layouts are good, but some flexibility would be nice. In NL, f.e. the ZIP-code is placed before the City. The current places it US-style. What I do NOT need, is the "Remittance Slip", as that doesnt make sense with only Money-Transfer is allowed. The settings now allows for the "Remittance Slip" to not show in the generated PDF, but it does show in the mail, that is send to the customer, in the link to the invoice. So I would rather have either the mail-body customizable OR no Remittance Slip when the setting is Unchecked. What I need in the invoice is some additional business information.

Is there a way to break the link between these two? I really would like to export to QBO ASAP! Thanks. I should say, I trialed QBO earlier in the year and felt it was too much at that time, now I'm wishing I would have stuck with it. Please advise on how I can get my current information exported over.
