It's a pleasure to have you here today, Northstar. I'll provide helpful information that can address your question about automatically adding a payment processing fee to your customer's transactions inside QuickBooks Online (QBO).
In QBO, the option to add the processing fee automatically is unavailable inside the program. A way to get around this would be to create a service item stating that it's intended for the processing fee and add it to your customer's invoice or transaction. We can outline the steps to get you going:
- Access your QuickBooks Online company.
- On the left navigational bar, click Get paid and & pay tab.
- Select Product & Service.
- Click on New then select Service.
- Enter Processing fee or your preferred name for the service.
- Select the account you'd use to track the processing fees.
- Once done, click Save and Close.
If you're ready, add the service item to your customer's invoice to include a processing fee. Another workaround is to utilize a third-party application to help you attain your goal. Feel free to visit this page: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/home/
