Question

Sales + dealing with Airbnb and Booking.com payments

Hi, I have a holiday self catering business which I've just stared and I'd like to manage my sales and expenses through Quickbooks. Airbnb payments go into my Paypal account and Booking.com sales go directly into my bank account. For these payments to show in "Sales" Do I have to create an invoice for each payment? Currently I have just being going to Overview > Bank Account > Category or Match and making each transaction a "Sale", (see attached screen shot), but when I go to "All Sales" Nothing shows up, except the one invoice I created manually for a guest who booked privately i.e. not through airbnb or booking.com. I'm not sure I've even done this one manual invoice correctly as it is showing twice...please see screen shot attached. 

I am new to Quickbooks and any help will be much appreciated. 

Thank you. 

P.S I can't afford to pay a subscription to AIrbnb for automatic import at the moment and I've tried linking Paypal but it says this service is not available in this county.

Welcome and thank you for choosing QuickBooks Online (QBO), @angiegecko.

 

I can share some information about managing your sales and expenses in QBO. 

 

Yes, if the sales and expenses are being pulled up directly from the connected bank account in QBO, you can categorise them right away. You no longer need to add an invoice or sales receipt. You can also add an invoice if the transaction is not showing from the bank. Once you've received the payment for this invoice, record it by following the steps outlined in this article: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you've already added the invoice and the payment made was being downloaded from the connected bank account, you can match the downloaded transaction with the invoice to avoid getting duplicates. Here's more information on how to review, categorise, and match downloaded transactions: Categorise and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.
