Matching Square payout direct to my bank and invoice

Hello there, accounts-2upc-co.

I appreciate the detailed information, especially the screenshot. This provides a clearer picture of the issue. 

You're on the right track, recording the transactions. Since the amount you received is less than the one shown on the invoice, enter £3.69 as an expense in the Add resolving transactions section to match it to the actual payment. This process will account for both the payment and the credit card fee.

You can add a service fee to new and existing invoices if you want to charge customers a fee for services related to the product or service they're purchasing. Here's an article that walks you through the entire process: Manually add service fees to invoices in QuickBooks Online. It includes instructions for matching sales transactions with bank feed fees.

Furthermore, the following reference addresses recording bank service fees from a third-party merchant service: Enter a bank service fee while using a third-party merchant service. It is from another region, but it applies to QuickBooks Online (QBO) UK as well.

Hi,

Thanks!

Am I correct putting a negative amount for fees and changing the top right amount on the payment box shown on my screenshot to the full original invoice amount as this shows as received amount which is after fee?

Thx

You’re getting there, accounts-2upc-co. I'll answer your questions one by one and suggest another way to handle invoice amount differences.

You’re right, you’ll need to enter the full amount to have it reduced by the bank fee. Since you enabled the Resolve Difference option, there’s no need to put a negative or minus (-) sign. This feature will handle the payment discrepancy to match your transactions.

I’ve added these guides in case you’re interested in other ways to process a service fee if you wish to charge customers and tracking bank service charges from third-party merchant services:

• Manually add service fees to invoices in QuickBooks Online
• Enter a bank service fee while using a third-party merchant service

You can refer to these articles to categorise your transactions and assign them to the correct accounts in the future:

Hi,

This is odd as I get an error in red if I don't put a negative fee amount and change payment amount on top right to the £134.99.

If I don't change the payment amount and leave it set to what came in to my bank deposited (QBO sets this) then when I put the fee in he total goes even lower.

Maybe I can contact support and ask for screen share to demostrate?

Thanks
