Hi all. I hope someone can help me with this. It's getting to be a busy time of year with accounting, and now for some reason I'm getting all manner of popup ads in QuickBooks Online. Just a moment ago, there was a slide-up ad for MailChimp "Try for free" ... Yesterday, it was a series of ads to set up electronic payments, which I already have set up. One of the Electronic Payments ads yesterday was full-screen and interrupted my workflow of processing client invoices. When I tried to hit back to simply get back to what I was working on, I was navigated completely out to the QBO home screen. End result: I lost my train of thought. It's not fun having your work flow disrupted like that.
I have trained myself to ignore the prominent "Cash Flow Analysis" box filled with fictitious sample data on my Business Overview Dashboard. Apparently there is only one way to get rid of that box: connect QBO to my business checking account. In my case, that is neither possible nor desirable. I enter all data manually as a way of being acutely aware of everything that goes on in our business. Maybe I'm missing something obvious on how to get rid of that box?
Surely there must be a setting, somewhere, to permanently opt out of ads / promos within QuickBooks. Dismissing each ad is not the solution I'm looking for, but an actual permanent opt-out checkbox. I'm fine if these ads / promos were moved into a notifications inbox or blog that I could check now and then to see what's new with QBO.
Update: It just happened again. I'm already set up for electronic payments. See screenshot.
