Hello,

What is the process in QBO when a customer pays you by credit card with the processing fee that credit card companies charge?  With how do you make the invoice to the customer with the fee and payments and anything else that goes with it?  What is the step by step to make sure I am doing it correctly in QBO.  TIA

Hello there, @ametz1201.

 

When your customer makes a payment and the fees are deducted, the process for recording these transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO) involves receiving the payment as usual and posting it to the undeposited funds account. After this, you should create a bank deposit to transfer the funds from the undeposited funds account to the appropriate bank account.

 

I'll guide you through the process. Here's how:

 

  1. First, make an Invoice to your customer.
  2. Once done, select Receive Payment.
  3. From there, choose Undeposited Funds for the Deposit To option.
  4. Check the box of the invoice you made.
  5. Click Save and Close.

 

Once done, you must record the fee in the bank deposit.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click + New.
  2. In the Other column, select Bank Deposit.
  3. Choose your accurate Bank Account in the Account field.
  4. Tick the box in the Received From column.
  5. In the Add funds to this deposit, enter the necessary information.
  • Please note that it should be an expense account you use in the Account column.
  • Enter the fee in the Amount column, it should be a negative amount to deduct.

     6. Hit Save and Close.

 

 

Moreover, you can manually add service fees to invoices in QuickBooks Online .

So, when I make the invoice to bill the customer, the invoice is only for the services we did?  I do not put the credit card fee on a separate line on the invoice?

You would put the processing fee or credit card fee on a separate line on the invoice. Either that, or a note saying that there is a fee for paying with a credit card.  (make sure to specify what the fee amount is)
