Question

Shopify shipping

We use a third-party company to ship Shopify orders. We top-up to the account when we buy shipping labels, the cost includes the shipping cost + taxes.

 

Our bank account shows the amount we spent to top-up (for example. $200).

 

Now, instead of putting the $200 in the shipping category, we'd like to upload all the transaction (shipping labels we bought) so we can see the total of how much we actually paid for the shipping cost and the taxes. We'd like these 2 in different categories (shipping category, tax category).

 

Is it best to "find match" this? Upload all the transactions and find all the labels we bought with the $200.

 

What do you suggest we do? Thanks!

Hey there, @marumir05.

 

Yes, you can use the find match option to manually select transactions you want to link. That way, we can ensure the match is correct and avoid duplicates. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Banking menu and select Banking.
  2. Choose the tile for the account you want to review.
  3. Select the For review tab.
  4. Click the transaction you want to review and select the Find match button. 
  5. Choose the transaction that the matching records found, then click Match.
  6. If you want to select another match, select the Find other matches option. 
  7. Filter the Match transactions window, then check the transaction box you want to link. 
  8. Click Save.

 

If you need additional guidance in categorizing downloaded transactions, please refer to this article: How to review downloaded bank and credit card transactions and put them in the correct accounts.

 

In case you need to change or move a transaction to a different account, follow these steps to undo or unmatch it. Make all of your changes before your monthly reconciliations.

 

Keep me posted if you have further concerns with categorizing Shopify shipping in QuickBooks. I'm always around to help.
