How do I get merchant fees showing in relevant expense account when using the app bolt?

I have set up bolt to handle Stripe payments. In chart of accounts I have a Stripe account and a credit card charge account (expenses - finance costs). The bolt app automatically shows the invoice paid in full.  When I run a simple report there are no card fees showing. Can someone tell me how to manually enter merchant fees in this instance?

Hey there, @adrianairlink,

 

I can give you the steps on how to record your credit card fees in QuickBooks Online.

 

First, you need to receive the payment and deposit them to the Undeposited Funds Account. Perform the steps below:

  1. On the invoice, click the Receive Payment button.
  2. Mark the correct invoice to pay.
  3. In the Deposit to field, choose Undeposited Funds.
  4. Click Save and close. (See screenshot attached)

 

Once done, enter a Bank Deposit for the bank fee. (See screenshot)

  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 fee amount.
  8. Make sure the deposit matches the net bank deposit amount.
  9. Click Save and close.

 

 

 

That will help you record the payments successfully in QuickBooks. If you have any questions with the steps, please mention me in the thread. All the best!
