Using Sumup to receive payments

I use a Sumup card machine to receive client payments. Sumup take their commission before I receive payment to my bank account. I receive a monthly invoice for the commission which has already been paid. How do I record this in QuickBooks self-employed?

Using Sumup to receive payments

Thank you for posting on the Community, Julie Dech. I'll be glad to assist you with recording your client payments in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).

 

To record your client payments while including the commission taken by SumUp, we need to follow a few steps. I'll be outlining everything and guide you through each step.

 

Step 1: Create the customer invoice. 

  1. Click the Plus (+) icon.
  2. Select Invoice.
  3. Enter the exact amount to be invoiced. 

 

Step 2: Receive the full payment of your client's invoice.

  1. Click the Receive Payment button.
  2. Select the correct invoice on the Receive Payment screen.
  3. In the Deposit To field, choose Undeposited Funds.
  4. Click Save and close.

 

Step 3: Enter a Bank Deposit transaction for the fee to relieve the balance from the Undeposited Funds account to the bank account. This process is important since here is where we deposit the amount cleared in the bank after deducting the fees. 

  1. Click the QuickBooks Plus (+) icon.
  2. Select Bank Deposit.
  3. Mark the invoice payment you received previously from the Select the payments included in this deposit section.
  4. Expand the Add funds to this deposit section to add a new line item.
  5. In the Received From column, enter the credit card fee as a vendor.
  6. In the Account column, add an expense account for the fee.
  7. In the Amount field, enter a negative amount which was the fee taken by SumUp. For example, if the fee or commission was 2.59, enter -2.59.
  8. Make sure the deposit matches the net bank deposit amount.
  9. Click Save and close when done.   

 

I'm also including our Help articles for related references in managing your account and transactions.
