I have a booth space in a boutique. How do I show the sale of merchandise, minus their commission plus receipt of check for merchandise?

Hi there, @equinegoddess.

It's nice to see you again in the Community. I can help share some information on how to show the sale of merchandise minus the commission.

You can create a product/service item for the commission. Make sure to use an expense account. Here's how:

1. Go to your Gear icon and select Products and Services.
2. Click the New tab.
3. You may use the Service item for the commission.
4. On the Product/Service information, fill in details for Name and Income account. Make sure to use an Expense account on the Income account field.
5. Click Save and close.

When creating your invoice or sales receipt, enter the sales for merchandise and enter another line item for the commission. Make sure to use a negative amount for the commission. Please see screenshot below for my example.

The expense will show once you pull up your P&L. If you're unsure what expense account to use, I'd suggest consulting your accountant to ensure it's recorded accurately. 

Keep me posted if you have other questions about tracking your commission. I'll be here to help you further.
