We had our first credit card transaction from an invoice sent to the customer. Quickbooks checking shows the deposit in the register but not in the balance of the account. How is this supposed to work?

Welcome to the Community, @BillQuick

 

It sounds like the payment from your customer hasn't been applied to the invoice, which can cause discrepancies in your QuickBooks checking balance. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure the payment is properly applied:

 

  1. Navigate to the + New menu and select Receive payment.
  2. Select the name of the customer in the Customer drop-down.
  3. In the Outstanding Transactions section, check the invoice matches the unapplied payment.


     
  4. Next, scroll down to the Credits section and check the box beside the Unapplied Payment that matches the invoice.
  5. When done, click Save and close.

 

For more details on handling unapplied payments, you can refer to this article: Unapplied cash payment income on your profit and loss

 

Additionally, if you frequently invoice the same customers with the same products and amounts, you might consider setting up a recurring transaction to save time. For detailed instructions, please refer to this article: Create recurring transactions in QuickBooks Online.
