Can i charge the processing fee to the customer

So am I correct with this? This is an example. You invoice $100 and add the $4 CC fee onto the invoice as a line item so the total invoice is $104. Now Quickbooks gets to collect their 2.9% on top of the $104 and not the original $100 you would have invoiced which means they get even more $. Why are they making it so difficult for their clients who are paying the subscription when they can still collect their fee if we just had the option to pass the fee onto our clients. Seems like a no brainer.

This is very well said and I second this 100%!!!  I'm sure there are more than a few people asking this question and would like to see this in QBO that it shouldn't come as a shock to add this feature.  In this day and age where everything is improving at a rapid rate, this should be one option that is in QBO sooner rather than later.  Time to listen up QuickBooks!!

Yes, I'm going elsewhere for the cc service.  It's becoming a problem and my margins don't support paying for someone credit card points.   I also have been getting charge backs from credit cards company's and the customer says they did not dispute the charge.

Where are you going to for the CC service? I decided a few weeks ago that I would be putting this fee on for customers who pay via credit card starting 2024. I figured it was an easy add on so did not think much into it. I can't believe that Quickbooks Online did not add this already seeing how many people are upset with them since this thread was created. and the nerve of them to say "just add a charge onto the invoice before sending it". This would mean they get 2.9% on my items AND my charge. It seems malicious at this point.

Using a 3rd party merchant service provider is the solution.

At the end of the day, the processing fees are killing our business profitability.  I went to a restaurant over the weekend and after paying my bill reviewed the charge detail to discover just to find out that I was charged the transaction fee and not the restaurant.  Why is it that everywhere I go now i am told the fee will be charged to me for using a credit vs debit card.  I should be able to have the option in QB Online as well.   If not, we will be looking for a new transaction system and financial accounting system to replace QB by years end.
