I've got different ways in handling the credit card payment, TasteOfGraze.

 

You can ignore those personal expenses since the purpose of adding it is to track business expenses. Nonetheless, I recommend reaching out to an accountant for further guidance. Doing so ensures the accuracy of your books after recording this.

 

Alternatively, we can create a clearing account. It is used to move money from one account to another when you can't transfer the fund directly. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and then select Chart of Accounts.

  2. On the Chart of Accounts screen, click the New tab.
  3. Choose Bank for the Account Type. You may choose any detail type you want for your clearing account.
  4. Type in the Name for the clearing account.
  5. Ensure the balance is zero before clicking Save and Close.

Next, record the credit card payment to the account you've created. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to + New and then click Pay down credit card.

  2. Select the credit card you made the payment.
  3. Enter the amount.
  4. Add the date of the payment.
  5. Choose the clearing account you paid the credit card with.
  6. Once done, click Save and Close.

After that, enter a record a deposit to this false bank account:

 

  1. From the + New menu, hit Bank deposit.

  2. Under Account, select Clearing.
  3. On the Add funds to this deposit section, add the purchase and the amount.
  4. Once done, Save and close.

In addition, I've added an article that'll help you learn more about handling a personal expense in a business account in QuickBooks Online: Pay for your own purchase from a business credit card or bank account.
