Welcome to the Community, Peggy. Are you paying an employee, independent contractor, or vendor? If it's an employee, upgrade to a QuickBooks Online (QBO) plan that includes payroll. If it's a contractor/vendor, record it in the Transactions menu.
Go to Transactions > New transactions. Fill in all the necessary fields, click Expense, then categorize it as Commissions and fees. Once done, select Save.
You can visit this article for further guidance on your plan: Introduction to QuickBooks for Solopreneurs.
