Is there a way to automatically include the credit card processing fee to your invoices so that the customer gets charged?

Hi there, @HBDesigns. I'll share some information about how you can add the credit card processing fee to your invoices in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

To add a credit card processing fee to your invoice, you can create a service item, then manually add it to your invoice. You can also consider a third-party app and integrate it with your QuickBooks. To begin, these are the steps:

 

  1. On the left navigational bar, go to Get paid and & pay tab.
  2. Choose Product & Service.
  3. Click on New then select Service.
  4. Enter the name of your service item. (Example CC Fee)
  5. Select the account you'd use to track the processing fees.
  6. Once done, click Save and Close.

 

Once done, add the credit card fee as an additional item on your invoice when you charge your customers with the processing fee.

 

In case you'd like to use a third-party app, here's where you can find one in QuickBooks Online:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online Company.
  2. Go to Apps tab.
  3. On the search bar, type the name of the that you'd like to integrate with your QBO account.
  4. Click the Search icon.

QB Payment doesn't have such feature at this time. You need a third-party connector to integrate with QB Payment and have the ability to add additional fees to eInvoicing and payment links. They claim that this feature is the only GAAP and VISA compliant solution on the market. The connector will perform a real-time BIN lookup to verify that the customer is paying via credit card and charge the applicable fee then reconcile invoice and fees accordingly.

Are you running a B2B or B2C company?

Many states outlaw that practice so confirm yours isn't one of them.  Charging your customer a credit card fee looks bad.  It's like a retail store charging a customer a "rent fee" because the customer chose to shop in-store instead of online.

I don't care if it "looks bad", if we're getting charged 3% fees on these credit card invoices, I'm charging for the convenience. 3% on a $10,000 sale is $300. If they want to save money they can pay cash, if not, pony up.

Credit card fees and finance charges are tax deductible for businesses.

No Quickbooks does not offer this feature although there is a workaround.

What's the work around?

It is 2023. Is it available now, the automatic credit card fee?
