Bank Transactions vs venmo, paypal and zelle

I receive payments for services via paypal and venmo.  

My Business Checking Account is already linked to QBO and the bank feed is update.  When I look at the transactions in my bank feed I see items like...venmo cash out, transfer venmo my name , venmo myname.

1.  Do I need to add my venmo and  paypal accounts the same way I added my Business Checking account on the Banking Page and click Add Account and give my sign in information?

2.  Currently venmo deposits (venmo cash outs etc) are under the category Accounts Receivable.  Why does it default to A/R and can I change ti to represent the service I provided.

3.  When I see a transfer from Paypal hitting my checking account. The transfer account is currently Uncategorized Asset.  Is this why I need to add my Paypal account so I can match the transfer to the Paypal acccount and reconcile them to each other?

4.  Being that Venmo is coming over as a deposit can I just categorize it, add detail and be done and not add venmo to QBO?  Does Venmo have to be reconciled like Paypal?

 

Im sorry if this is confusing....

Bank Transactions vs venmo, paypal and zelle

Good day, erakala.

 

The purpose of the banking feature is for you to reconcile your accounts easily and for easier tracking of the transactions. You can add your Venmo and Paypal accounts if you need to track the transactions but that depends on you if you want to reconcile them. You can also consult an account for some advice. 

 

QuickBooks Online will try to search for an account or category to which the transactions will be posted based on the previous transactions you've added. Though, you can recategorize them however you want.

 

I've added these articles for your reference:

Please post again if you have more questions. Wishing you all the best!
