Join nowNeeding some help, I use only stripe payments as form of payment.
Stripe charges me a fee of 3.65%, however when I charge my customers, I charge a base rate of 4.5%.
What is the best way to process this on my sales receipts? As I am doing it now, its showing my expense as a negative $, but its income, right?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Nice to have you here, CourtneyH.
Let's create an income item for the stipe fee that you will collect. Then, on your sales receipt, add the 4.5% rate to the next line under your item.
For the steps on how to create an item, you can refer to this article: Add product and service items to QuickBooks Online.
Next is to apply the item on your sales receipt. I'll show you how to do it below:
Once done, create a Bank Deposit and deduct the Stripe charge which is 3.65% under Add funds to this deposit section.
Here's how:

Hi, CourtneyH.
Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about handling the stripe fees you had the other day. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at any time.
Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!
I think that did make it clearer for me. I need to change the "fee" charge on the receipts to income, otherwise its in the negative and shouldn't be.
Going forward, the owner is going to charge the exact amount that stripe charges, just to make it easier on him/me to process orders. So should I make a different service charge for that amount, or just edit the one i currently have? I don't want it to mess up work i've already done.
Thanks for keeping an eye on this post, CourtneyH.
You can either change the current amount on the sales receipt or create a different item. It'll still depend on your business need and to ensure your items are well organized.
If you don't want to edit the amount every time you enter a sales receipt, you can enter a new item for the service charge. Let me show you how:
In case you want to keep things organized for your items, you can group them into different categories.
