In situations when you need to include surcharges or service fees, they can be manually added to new or existing invoices.  Let's get started!

First, you'll need to create a fee item.  Here's how:

1. Go to the top right of your QuickBooks dashboard and open Settings ⚙

2. Select Products and services and then New and choose Service

3. Give the item a Name

4. Use the Category ▼ dropdown to choose what best describes the fee

5. Complete the remaining required fields

6. Hit Save and close when finished

Note:  You can change the fee amount on an invoice if you don't charge a standard fee.

Follow these steps to add the fee to an invoice;

1. Open Sales and then Customers from the left menu

2. Locate the Customer and open the invoice

3. In the Product/Service column, select the fee item you just created

4. Enter a Message on invoice about the fee as you see necessary

5. When complete, hit Save and close or Save and send
