We’re reaching out to share an important update that will affect clients using our QuickBooks Online integration. Intuit, the provider of QuickBooks Online, has introduced new API access fees that impact all integration partners, including PaymentEvolution. As a result, we must introduce new integration pricing to reflect these direct costs.
Beginning January 1, 2026, PaymentEvolution will introduce a fee of $20 per month, per active QuickBooks Online integration.
This fee applies to:
QuickBooks Desktop is not affected at this time.
Retail plan clients will begin seeing this charge on their February 1 billing cycle, as part of their monthly minimums.
Intuit has introduced new mandatory charges for anyone accessing their API. This API powers essential functions such as:
PaymentEvolution is passing through only the cost we are billed for. The new $20 fee directly offsets Intuit’s new pricing and ensures we can continue offering the integration without interruption.
You will see this fee if:
An integration is considered “active” if it is connected, regardless of how often it is used.
$20 per month, per active QuickBooks Online integration
This fee appears only when the integration is active during that billing month.
You can continue using PaymentEvolution at no extra cost by choosing one of these options:
You can download your GL report from PaymentEvolution and manually enter it into QuickBooks Online.

These platforms do not carry integration fees.
If you prefer not to incur the fee:
If disconnected before January 1, 2026, no fee will appear on your upcoming invoice.
No. Intuit is now charging for API access and this fee covers our costs associated with supporting this integration.
No. Only QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Time are affected.
If the integration remains active at any time during the month, the $20 fee applies. The fee is based on the integration’s active status, not on how often it’s used.
Absorbing ongoing API costs would require raising subscription pricing for all customers. Instead, the fee is applied only to those using QuickBooks Online.
Yes. Disconnect your QuickBooks Online integration before January 1, 2026, and you will not be charged.
No. Features, workflows, and login information will remain the same.
Yes. Intuit’s API fee is mandatory for all software partners, and integrations cannot function without API access.
Go to Settings → Add Ons → Intuit QuickBooks.
If you see Disconnect, your QBO integration is active.
