Purchases showing up in Quickbooks Self-Employed as ”Debitcard Transaction”

QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) relies on the information shared by your bank account, Alchemic. Let’s delve deeper into this.

If you used your debit card as a payment method when paying your vendor or processing payments from your clients, the bank feeds in QBSE will show it as Debit Card transactions. Also, we're unable to show these bank descriptions and details in the system.

For you to show the company name for each bank record, I suggest adding it in the Notes field by clicking the drop-down/triangle button beside the bank transaction. Here’s how:

1. Find the transaction you want to add notes.
2. Click  the dropdown button beside it.
3. Enter your company name in the Notes section.

Also, if you mean to change the name of a particular transaction, just click on it and manually enter your preferred name.

So, your solution is to match up the business on PayPal and manually type in the business name on over 100 transactions? Seriously? In a program that is supposed to import the information automatically and worked fine up until four months ago? You are unable to tell me why this problem started and how to correct it? Are you saying this is an issue with PayPal?

Your response is valued, and I get where you're coming from, @alchemicmuse. I can see that manually editing entries isn't the best approach for you. Allow me to provide details to fix PayPal transactions that aren't showing as intended in QuickBooks Self-employed (QBSE).

Primarily, QBSE relies solely on the data provided by PayPal to populate transaction details. Differences in information transmitted by PayPal affect how transactions are shown in the program.
