How to add a Bank Account in QuickBooks Online and assign it to a Payment Method in Dext

  1. Create a Bank Account in QuickBooks Online (or make sure that's been done):

    For Expenses you can use the Bank, Credit Card or Current Assets account types in QuickBooks Online.

    Please note: it's important to add an account number to the Bank Account to have things work correctly in Dext.
