intuit payment network phased out??

[George P.]

so i am on hold as i type with Intuit and the CS rep just told me that intuit payment network is being phased out.

He was surprised that I have not gotten a communication from them telling me that. He said "it will happen sooner rather than later in 2016".

if true... well, damn! i just went from William Paid to Intuit and now this! 

I asked "whats the new platform and he said "Merchant Services, but i'd have to put you to the Sales team".

i have spoken to Intuit 2-3 times in the past 2 weeks and this is the news to me.

anyone else aware of it?

Unfortunately IPN.com is being phased out starting May 31. They are forcing all users to obtain a paid subscription to quickbooks, which has a built-in invoicing feature that offers this payment service at the same transaction rate. The payment feature will no longer be available as a standalone feature and they rope you into a $13/$26 per month plan for the privilege continuing to use these services. Users that don't care about quickbooks or want the $312 annual subscription cost will likely want to search elseware. The details are below:
