Should STRIPE (Payment Collection Service) be setup as VENDOR or CUSTOMER ?

Shinobi · ‎May 13, 2020

I have customers on subscription memberships. Their dues are paid through STRIPE.

STRIPE deduct their fees for processing, then deposit, in my bank, the amount collected by a specified time i.e. the middle of the month, end of the month , etc.

I pay STRIPE for their great service, and they process payments from my customers. STRIPE deposits those funds in my bank. How do I classify STRIPE in Quickbooks Online? Should they be classified as a Vendor or a Customer?

"If they are working for you and you are paying them then they would be vendors. Customers are for people who you do work for and who pay you." -aj4fluentbiz

Thank you,

Shinobi

Hello Shinobi,

The Stripe is likely to be your vendor since you're paying for their service. As well as they deduct fees from every customer transactions.

Just like aj4fluentbiz said, vendors are the ones you pay for their services while customers pay you.
