Question

75% of my revenue is via Go Cardless payments. I create a sales receipt for each customer as payment is already made, no invoice. is this the correct method to use?

My turnover is reading double what it should. I can only think that quickbooks is adding all the sales recipts as new turnover, in addition to the linked bank account. how would i rectify this if this is right?

Let me help you rectify your issue, Enquiries-twcthe.

 

You're already on the right path to create a sales receipt since the customer paid on the spot for goods and services.
 

Concerning the double reading, it looks like you're adding the downloaded transaction. You'll have to match it to the sales receipt instead to avoid duplicate transactions.
 

First, you'll have to undo the transaction so it will go back into the For review tab. Then, match the payment to the sales receipt. 

 

If you need something else, feel free to get in touch with us. We'll reply as soon as we can. Keep safe!

thank you for you reassurance. I have started to match up those transactions. however I am a little stuck as I charge my customer say £20 but go cardless already deducts their 0.50p by the time its deposited into my bank. So how would I document the full sale value of £20? The only way I seem to be able to match is if I deduct the go cardless fee manually

Thanks for getting back to us, @enquiries-twcthe.

 

Let me share some information about recording the £20 customer charge. You can receive the customer payment on the invoice along with the £20. Then, deposit the payment. From there, enter the -0.50£ using your Go Cardless fee account. This will make your bank deposit the total amount of 19.5£.

 

Let me walk you through how to do it:

 

  1. Go to +New.
  2. Choose Receive payment.
  3. Make sure to select the Undeposited Funds in the Deposit to drop-down.
  4. Enter the £20 in the Amount received section. Make sure it's also posted in the Payment section.
  5. Click Save and close. See the image below.

 

 

 

After that make a bank deposit. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to +New.
  2. Choose Bank deposit under Other.
  3. Under Select the payments included in this deposit, tick the invoice.
  4. Under Add funds to this deposit, select your Go Cardless fee account.
  5. Enter the fee as negative amount to bring up the correct Total amount.
  6. Click Save and close. See the attached image below.

 

 

 

 

With the above steps, you're able to record your customer charge and match your downloaded transactions with QuickBooks.
