Question

credit card chargeback

I use Quickbooks Enterprise Desktop.  I took a credit card transaction and made the deposit.  Everything was good.  Then I got notification that it was fraud.  Around the same time I got my bank statement and needed to reconcile it.  The chargeback is on my statement and I have no idea how to get this back out of my account. I thought I could use the "Record Bounced Check" option but that does not come up because I assume that it was taken as a credit card. 

I tried calling QB for support and they have no clue what I am trying to explain.  Can anyone help.

Let me help you handle chargeback for QuickBooks Payments, @adc9.

 

Chargebacks can occur for several different reasons. It can be a result of an error, fraud, or a dissatisfied client. They may end up costing you time and money if you don't handle them appropriately. Here's what you do if a payment you processed using QuickBooks Payments is charged back.

 

The financial institution notifies QuickBooks Payments when a consumer disputes a charge with their bank or credit card company.

 

When QuickBooks receives a chargeback, it analyzes the card for credits. In some circumstances, we are unable to match the chargeback to the credit:

 

  • If the sale and refund amounts are different.
  • If you (the merchant) issue a credit to the card after the chargeback posts to your account. If this happens, send a copy of the credit issued to the card or proof that a refund was given (such as the front and back copies of the cashed refund check).
  • If you issue a refund outside your QuickBooks Payments. If this happens, send proof of that payment to us.\

 

The customer's card issuer credits the cardholder with the amount of the initial transaction if you didn't provide a credit or if we can't match the credit to the chargeback. You, the merchant, are then debited for the credited amount plus a $25 fee. This charge is not fine. It serves to pay for associated expenses.

 

We'll email you if there are any chargeback notices or demands for retrieval in this situation. You will receive explicit directions on what to do next in the email, so don't worry.

I understand why there are chargebacks.  Quickbooks does not handle any credit card processing for me. Nor do they do payments.  This is an accounting question.

I simply need to know how to get reverse the fee from my books.  

Its very similar to a returned check.  How to I "return the credit card" transaction. This is all I need to know.

I agree with you, all I am trying to find out is how to handle a credit card chargeback and the fee with it.  Quickbooks is not my credit card company.  Not too hard to try to lead us in correct direction.
