Hi @southt,

It's a bit unusual that you haven't received an email or seen anything in the Resolution Center. That center is usually the first place QuickBooks will tell you if there's an issue needing your attention. Here's a breakdown of what might be happening and what steps you can take:

First Things First: Double-Check the Obvious (Just in Case!)

1. Give Your Email a Thorough Look: I know you said you didn't get an email, but sometimes these things can sneak into unexpected folders. Could you please double-check your spam, junk, promotions, and any other filtered folders in your email account? Sometimes notifications can get misdirected.
2. Refresh QuickBooks Online: It might sound simple, but sometimes a quick refresh of your QuickBooks Online page can help if there's been a temporary display glitch. Try refreshing your browser window.

Let's Dig a Little Deeper into QuickBooks Online:

1. Review the Specific Transaction: Go to your sales transactions (usually under "Sales" or "Invoicing") and find the payment that's on hold. Click on it to open the details. Sometimes, there might be a subtle note or status update on the transaction itself that didn't trigger a notification. Look for any links or buttons related to the payment status.
2. Check All Notifications within QuickBooks Online: Sometimes, notifications don't just appear in the Resolution Center. Look for a bell icon or any other notification indicators within your QuickBooks Online interface. There might be a general alert there that hasn't been specifically flagged as needing resolution.
3. Access Your QuickBooks Payments Account Directly: If you're using QuickBooks Online Payments, you might be able to get more detailed information by accessing your payments account settings directly.
   • Go to Settings (the gear icon in the top right).
   • Select Account and Settings.
   • Click on the Payments tab.
   • Here, you should see your QuickBooks Payments account details. Look for any information about holds, verifications, or pending actions. There might be a link to a more detailed payments center.

If You're Still Not Seeing Anything, It's Time to Contact Support Directly:

Since you've checked the usual places and found nothing, the next best step is to reach out to QuickBooks Payments support directly. They have the tools and access to look into the specifics of your account and that payment hold.

Here's how you can usually contact QuickBooks Payments support (the exact options might vary slightly):

1. Through the QuickBooks Online Help Center:
   • Click the Help icon (usually a question mark) in the top right corner of QuickBooks Online.
   • Type something like "payment on hold" or "contact payments support" in the search bar.
   • Look for an option to "Contact Us" or "Get help from a live agent." This will usually give you options for chat or a phone call.
2. Look for a Specific QuickBooks Payments Support Number: You might be able to find a dedicated phone number for QuickBooks Payments support on the official Intuit website. Search for "QuickBooks Payments support phone number."

When You Contact Support, Be Ready to Provide Them With:

• Your QuickBooks Online company name.
• The approximate date and amount of the payment that is on hold.
• The name of the customer who made the payment (if applicable).
• The fact that you haven't received any email notification or seen anything in the Resolution Center.

Possible Reasons for the Hold (Without Notification - Though This is Unusual):

While it's strange you haven't received a notification, here are some common reasons why a payment might be on hold in QuickBooks Payments:

• First Payment Hold: If this is one of the first payments you've processed through QuickBooks Payments, they often have a temporary hold for security reasons. This usually gets resolved within a few business days.
• High-Risk Transaction: The payment might have triggered some security flags in their system due to the amount, the customer's information, or other factors.
• Verification Needed: QuickBooks Payments might need some additional information from you to verify your account or the transaction.
• Bank Processing Delays: In rare cases, the customer's bank or your receiving bank might be experiencing some processing delays.
