Question

invoicing

Hello, when I create an invoice, most of the time, I know that the entire amount is not going to be delivered to me, because the invoice is collected either through a payment provider, or through a 3rd party finance firm. These intermediaries charge a fee to me. What that means is that the funds that I receive don't match the value on the invoice - Is there a way around this? How do I include this on an invoice when setting it up? How do I reconcile the difference later on?

Thanks 🙂

Hello there, Rob. Welcome to the forum, and thanks for detailing your concern on how to record payments received through a payment provider or a 3rd party finance firm. I have information that can assist you in recording these transactions accurately.

 

You'll want to receive payment of the exact amount first and post it to the undeposited funds. Next, create a deposit and select the amount. Then, you can input the fee as a negative amount under add funds to this deposit. You can follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Sales and select Invoices.
  2. Locate and click on the specific invoice.
  3. Select Edit Invoice.
  4. Click Receive Payment.
  5. On the Outstanding Transaction, put a checkmark on the box of the specific invoice.
  6. Click on the dropdown arrow in the Deposit to option, then locate and select the Undeposited Funds.
  7. Click Save and close.

 

Once done, proceed to add the payment to the deposits:

 

  1. Go to the Accounting tab on the left menu.
  2. Select view register.
  3. Navigate and click the specific deposit ($-10).
  4. Select who the payment was from ($100).
  5. Review the deposit total with the bank fee.
  6. Select Save and Close.
