Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Your Conductor secret key using Bearer auth (e.g., "Authorization: Bearer {{YOUR_SECRET_KEY}}").

Headers

​
Conductor-End-User-Id
string
required

The ID of the End-User to receive this request.

Example:

"end_usr_1234567abcdefg"

Query Parameters

​
ids
string[]

Filter for specific payment methods by their QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier(s).

IMPORTANT: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request.

NOTE: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.

Example:
["80000001-1234567890"]
​
names
string[]

Filter for specific payment methods by their name(s), case-insensitive. Like id, name is a unique identifier for a payment method.

IMPORTANT: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request.

NOTE: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.

Example:
["Cash"]
​
limit
integer

The maximum number of objects to return.

IMPORTANT: QuickBooks Desktop does not support cursor-based pagination for payment methods. This parameter will limit the response size, but you cannot fetch subsequent results using a cursor. For pagination, use the name-range parameters instead (e.g., nameFrom=A&nameTo=B).

When this parameter is omitted, the endpoint returns all payment methods without limit, unlike paginated endpoints which default to 150 records. This is acceptable because payment methods typically have low record counts.

Required range: x >= 1
Example:

10

​
status
enum<string>
default:active

Filter for payment methods that are active, inactive, or both.

Available options:
active,
all,
inactive
Example:

"active"

​
updatedAfter
string

Filter for payment methods updated on or after this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats:

  • date-only (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the start of the specified day in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., 2025-01-01 → 2025-01-01T00:00:00).
  • datetime without timezone (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
  • datetime with timezone (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.
Example:

"2025-01-01T12:34:56+00:00"

​
updatedBefore
string

Filter for payment methods updated on or before this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats:

  • date-only (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the end of the specified day in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., 2025-01-01 → 2025-01-01T23:59:59).
  • datetime without timezone (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
  • datetime with timezone (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.
Example:

"2025-02-01T12:34:56+00:00"
