# Retrieve a receive-payment

`GET /quickbooks-desktop/receive-payments/{id}`

Retrieves a receive-payment by ID.

**IMPORTANT:** If you need to fetch multiple specific receive-payments by ID, use the list endpoint instead with the `ids` parameter. It accepts an array of IDs so you can batch the request into a single call, which is significantly faster.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required — The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of the receive-payment to retrieve.

## Headers

- `Conductor-End-User-Id` string, required — The ID of the End-User to receive this request.

## Response `200`

Returns the specified receive-payment.

For public custom fields visible in the UI, such as those added by the QuickBooks user, this is always "0".
