order of download for credit card payments

Welcome to the Community, BKaz.

Effectively managing your financial transactions in QuickBooks Desktop is essential for maintaining accurate records and staying on top of your finances.

We suggest downloading your credit card transactions first to ensure everything matches correctly in QuickBooks Desktop.

This approach allows you to carefully categorize and capture all individual expenses, making it easier to match them against the corresponding bank deposits.

By following this order, you can more easily match the credit card payments in your bank account with the corresponding transactions in your credit card account, reducing the chances of discrepancies.

Additionally, we wish to draw attention to pertinent resources within QuickBooks that could greatly aid your bank transactions, ensuring comprehensive financial management:

• Add and match Bank Feed transactions in QuickBooks Desktop
• Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop

If you need additional guidance, particularly with managing your bank transactions, or have any related questions, please feel free to reach out below. We are dedicated to offering you prompt assistance and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals.

@BKaz  Generally, download/record customer payments first and then they'll be available to include in deposits when you download/record the deposits.
