Hi there, @Josh

 

If you want to charge your customers a service fee for services related to the product or service they're buying in QuickBooks Online (QBO), I can guide you through the process of adding the fee manually.

 

To add a payment with a detailed description to the invoices, you need to create a fee as a service item first. This can be done for new and existing invoices, allowing you to charge your customers accurately. Here are the steps to follow:
 

  1. Select the Gear icon and select Products & services.
  2. Click New, then select Service.
  3. Enter a name for the service in the Name field.
  4. From the Category dropdown, select the category that best describes the fee. And fill out the rest of the fields.
  5. Hit Save and close.

 

Once done, you'll have to add a service fee to the invoices. If you’ve already sent them their invoice, create an invoice with the service fee. If you haven’t sent the invoice, make sure to add it before sending it. 

 

  1. Go to Sales, then select Invoices.​
  2. Select the invoice you want to add a service fee to and Select Edit invoice.
  3. Select the service fee you created from the Product or service dropdown.
  4. Enter the amount of the service fee in the amount field. 
  5. you may also add a note about the fee. This is optional. 
  6. Hit Review and send.

 

By following these steps, you can accurately account for the wire transfer fee in your QuickBooks Online records.
