Hi there, @greatoaks5.
In QuickBooks Online, you can charge a credit card processing fee to your customer by adding it as a separate line item on the invoice or sales receipt. This way, the fee is clearly displayed to the customer. QuickBooks Payments deduct the processing fee from the total transaction amount.
To charge a credit card processing fee to your customer in QuickBooks Online and ensure clarity, you can follow these steps:
- Create an invoice or sales receipt for the service you are providing.
- Enter the service amount as $300.
- Add a new line item to the invoice or sales receipt for the credit card processing fee. For example, if the fee is 3% of $300, the fee amount would be $9 (300 x 0.03).
- Specify the description of the fee, such as "Credit Card Processing Fee."
- Save and send the invoice or sales receipt to your customer.
By doing this, both the service amount and the fee will be included in the total amount that the customer is charged. To prevent any misunderstandings or unexpected charges, I recommend communicating this fee transparently in advance. By doing so, you can provide your customers with a clear understanding of the total amount they will be charged, including the fee.
Furthermore, we recommend referring to these articles to ensure accurate recording of your payments and processing fees to the appropriate accounts:
