Problems with Amex payment

Hey Guys, trying to use my Amex card to pay for LessAccounting and it fails immediately. Called Amex and they say the request never made it to them. Can you investigate whether there is a problem with your merchant account?

Well Allan, I should have mentioned that I have not yet signed up for a paying plan so I'm guessing that's where the problem lies. In reality, I was trying to figure out whether I really needed to have a separate account for my second business as there is not much further activity going on. Your screencast answered my questions so I think I'm all set.

Thanks,
Dave

Hey Dave, what browser and operating system are you on?

Hi Allen, I added a new business to my existing account but it simply redirects me back to the Dashboard of my original business. Am I misunderstanding the purpose of the Add Business function? For reference, I'm looking to differentiate the income/expenses from two businesses that I run.

Hi Dave

This functionality is definitely under consideration! We're currently evaluating how best to implement this and we hope to have it available within the next couple of months, possibly earlier.

A workaround for you right now would be to include the actual URL in the invoice comments section.

Generating invoices with a PayPal payment button

I've tested out quite a few online accounting apps lately and FreeAgent seems to have virtually all of the features I'm seeking - save one. LessAccounting.com gives users the ability to send their invoices with a PayPal button for clients who wish to pay their invoice via credit card. Is this functionality under consideration or is there a workaround using custom invoice templates?

Sounds good, I can handle that. I've got one more question for you but I'll start a new thread so it can be found more easily.

Hi Dave

Sorry about this -- I can see what's going wrong internally but there isn't a quick fix I can make for this single import.

A fair workaround would be to export your clients in batches from Address Book and do it that way. You need only import those clients who are directly associated with work projects and invoices to get going in FreeAgent.

Well it did load my contacts but it seems that I may have choked the server. Got a 500 error when I tried selecting and loading some contacts.

Olly replied on July 08, 2008 19:31 to the question "Importing Clients from Mac" in FreeAgent Central:

Hi Dave

I've found the problem and hopefully resolved it. You should now be able to upload.

One caveat: there is a confirmation screen which is displayed once you've uploaded the file, where you can select which clients to import. A slight oversight on our part is that there's currently no way to select all on this page, so selecting 1000 contacts will be more than a little frustrating. We'll look at getting this resolved ASAP.

Thanks Olly, that's what I figured.

Hey Dave

I'm taking a look at this right now. There shouldn't be any special tricks required at all -- it should just work.

That's a lot of contacts you have! :)

Importing Clients from Mac

On a Mac, exported my address book contacts to vCard format and continue to an error that reads "Please select a valid CSV file". Is the system down or are there any special tricks to getting the vCard format to work? For reference, I am trying to export quite a few contacts (1000+ to be more specific).
