QuickBooks Merchant Services
  • Action Alert: All merchants who process credit card payments in QuickBooks As you probably know, hackers and cyber-criminals are getting smarter and more sophisticated all the time. And credit card numbers are high on their list of info to steal. In response, the credit card industry has tightened security standards for all applications used to process credit cards payments. These standards are referred to as PA-DSS (Payment Application Data Security Standards) and they’ll be revised on July 1. One very important aspect of these new PA-DSS standards is the mandated use of ‘complex’ passwords. A complex password is simply a password that contains at least 7 characters with at least one number and one uppercase letter contained in the password. And it needs to be changed every 90 days. Complex passwords are harder to hack and they give both you and your customers more protection from cyber-criminals. There’ll be a QuickBooks update available in early June 2010 that complies with the new credit card protection standards. This update lets you easily create a complex password so you can continue to open your merchant-service enabled company files and process credit card payments in QuickBooks. If you’d like to learn more about the new password requirements, you can review Article INF12850 The bottom line: These new protection requirements will make your customer’s credit card information a lot more safe and secure. And that’s good for everyone.

How to Get the Best Price on QuickBooks Pro and QuickBooks Premier

Ruth, do you sell QuickBooks? It would be nice to know who sells, for example, QuickBooks Pro, instead of posting on the boards “Costco & Sam’s have QuickBooks Pro for $100.”

I do sell all the desktop versions of QuickBooks and I always have lower prices than Amazon for QuickBooks Point of Sale and QuickBooks Enterprise.

However, I can usually only beat Amazon’s prices on QuickBooks Pro and QuickBooks Premier for the first few months after a release. Once Sam’s and Costco start discounting (usually in Jan/Feb), Amazon’s prices drop dramatically.

My goal is for my clients get the lowest prices possible, whether it’s from me or a big box store. I like Amazon because they’re almost always have the lowest prices (from Jan-Sep) and you don’t need a membership. So once Amazon’s prices drop, I steer my clients to my Amazon store.

One thing to keep in mind is that Amazon’s prices change frequently. So if you don’t like the current price, it might be lower soon. However, it could also go higher. If you bookmark our store, you can check back often to see what the current pricing is for a shipped CD vs. download, QuickBooks Pro vs. QuickBooks Premier, etc. all on one handy page.
