Entering Square Sales and Invoices into Quickbooks

Hello! I'm trying to figure out the best way to log my sales and invoices from Square on Quickbooks Online. I know there is a Square integration, but I've heard that it's nothing more than garbage and will completely ruin my books. Should I be recording the daily sales in a sales receipt on Quickbooks, and if so what format should I use? Should I do the same for invoices or should I enter them into the invoice function on Quickbooks?

Thanks a lot!

Entering Square Sales and Invoices into Quickbooks

I'm here to help you enter your sales into QuickBooks, ashtonrosenzweig.

 

Recording sales within QuickBooks depends on when you receive the payment, there are two ways to record sales transactions. If it's a deferred payment, use an Invoice and then Receive Payment when your customer pays. For an immediate payment, use Sales Receipts. 

 

You're correct, if it's a direct sale, you can enter a Sales Receipt. Invoices if your're customer pays you at a later time. I'll show you how to enter an Invoice and a Sales Receipt. 

  1. Go to the + New button, and select Invoice.
  2. Complete the fields with necessary information.
  3. Select Save and close.

To close out an invoice just follow these easy steps:

  1. Still from the + New button, click Receive Payment.
  2. Choose a customer, then select invoice/s you want to close out.
  3. Select the payment method and account where the payment will be deposited to.
  4. Click Save and close.

With a Sales receipt, you enter the payment information at the same time you are entering the sale. From the+New button click Sales Receipt. Then, click Save and close
