Duplicate Venmo transactions (All of them)

Each of my Venmo transaction imported inside Quickbooks has a duplicate. And there is a pattern.

Transaction 1 will have the Memo exactly like how the customer entered.

Transaction 2 will have a Memo with a Prefix - “Customer Name paid Business Name + Memo”

Example:

Customer name is John Doe.
Business name is ABC School.
And when the customer paid via Venmo, they added a memo “August Tuition for Jane”

In the imported transactions inside my Quickbooks Online, I will see two transaction under the Venmo account.

Transaction 1 will have the memo - “August Tuition for Jane”

Transaction 2 will have the memo “John Doe paid ABC School August Tuition for Jane”

Both transactions will have the same date, same amount and most of the time, their transaction ids will be right after each other - e.g. 1234 and 1235. (But some times, the transaction ids are a bit apart - 1234 and 1238)

This is true for ALL of the imported transactions.

(Want to clarify that this is NOT the Cash Out duplication where there is an entry in from Venmo and another entry in the bank account. These duplicate transactions are within the linked Venmo bank account inside QBO itself. When I login to Venmo app, I only see one transaction there)

Please note that QuickBooks relies on the information provided by Venmo. It generates a raw payment transaction and a formatted description record for each transaction. However, QuickBooks Online ingests both because they arrive as distinct records with sequential but different transaction IDs. This is why you are seeing duplicates.

To manage this, let's identify the actual payment record and exclude the duplicates:

Go to All apps and select Bank transactions.
In the Pending tab, check all the duplicate entries.
Click Exclude.

You can set up a bank rule to exclude duplicate transactions that contain the “Customer Name paid Business Name + Memo” description. Ensure you select Exclude transactions under the For transactions that meet these criteria section so these duplicates are automatically excluded each time they appear.

Please don't hesitate to reply if you have other questions.
