Implementing Real-Time Requests for Payments (RfP) for Business Billers

To integrate Real-Time Requests for Payments (RfP) for a business biller using SecureQBPlugin.com with QuickBooks Online (QBO), follow these detailed steps:

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Set Up QuickBooks Online (QBO)
   • Ensure your QuickBooks Online account is set up with the appropriate subscription level to support advanced features and integrations.
   • Make sure your QBO account is properly configured for invoicing and payment processing.
2. Register with SecureQBPlugin.com
   • Create an account on SecureQBPlugin.com.
   • Complete the onboarding process, including linking your QuickBooks Online account with SecureQBPlugin.com.
   • Ensure your account is configured to support real-time payment processing through RTP and FedNow.
3. Enable Real-Time Payment Networks
   • Verify that SecureQBPlugin.com is set up to handle RTP (Real-Time Payments by The Clearing House) and FedNow (Federal Reserve).
   • Ensure your bank or payment processor supports these networks for seamless integration.
4. Configure ISO 20022 Messaging
   • Ensure that SecureQBPlugin.com supports ISO 20022, the global standard for financial messaging.
   • Configure QBO to handle ISO 20022 formatted messages for sending and receiving RfPs.
5. Create Digital Invoices in QuickBooks Online
   • Use QBO to generate digital invoices, including necessary details such as amount, due date, and itemized charges.
   • Include options for one-time or recurring payments as needed for your business.
6. Generate and Send RfPs via SecureQBPlugin.com
   • When creating an invoice in QBO, use SecureQBPlugin.com to generate an RfP.
   • SecureQBPlugin.com will format the RfP in ISO 20022 and send it to the payer through their bank’s dashboard or a link on the payee’s payment page.
7. Payer Receives and Approves RfP
   • The payer receives an RfP notification on their bank’s dashboard or the payment page.
   • The payer reviews the details of the RfP and approves the payment.
8. Instant Payment Processing
   • Once the payer approves the RfP, the payment is processed instantly through RTP or FedNow.
   • The business biller receives the funds in real-time, with immediate settlement.
9. Payment Confirmation and Reconciliation
   • Both the payer and the payee receive confirmation of the payment.
   • QBO, through SecureQBPlugin.com, updates the invoice status to 'Paid' and reconciles the payment in real-time.
10. Automate Recurring Payments (if applicable)
    • For recurring payments, set up a recurring invoice schedule in QBO.
    • SecureQBPlugin.com automatically generates and sends RfPs at the designated intervals.
    • Payments are processed and reconciled in real-time, reducing manual intervention.
