PDF invoice encryption

I see that Quickbooks does not add any kind of encryption to the PDFs that are generated for invoices. This is a legal requirement in South Africa for electronic tax invoices that they must have at least 128-bit encryption. This is the most basic of PDF encryption and doesn't prevent the recipient from opening it.

 

Does Quickbooks have any intentions of adding encryption so invoices can be used legally in South Africa?

PDF invoice encryption

Hi there, Steven_ZA. 

 

Allow me to fill you in on everything you need to know about the encryption in QuickBooks Online.

 

The option to add encryption to the PDF's isn't available in QuickBooks Online. I can see that you want to store sensitive information, I encourage you to submit feedback directly to our product engineers. They may look into this suggestion and consider adding the option in the future update. 

 

To send feedback, please follow the step below:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
  2. Enter your product suggestions in the pop-up. Then, select Next to submit it.

 

We also have a lot of third-party apps in our website that you can check. Click this  link to find encryption tools to help you send the protected files to customers: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/home/.

 

Intuit Developers is a separate forum where you can find engineers who can recommend third-party hosting applications to utilize. You can also reach out to them through this link for their guidance.
