Configure Internet Explorer to work with QuickBooks Payments and related applications

In This Article We are going to talk about How to Configure Internet Explorer to work with QuickBooks Payments and related applications in QuickBooks 2109

Certain settings must be configured for Internet Explorer (IE) to work with our products and services, including QuickBooks Payments. If IE is not set up correctly, the following problems may occur:

  • Blank page displayed or navigation to web page canceled
  • Error when connecting or performing web-based connections
  • QuickBooks Desktop connectivity issues
  • Data missing or web pages incorrectly loading
  • Other internet-based connection issues

Be sure to restart your computer if you are having problems accessing web-based features. Sometimes this may solve simple connectivity issues and should also be performed if the changes made below fail to apply.
