Hi there, hello261.

 

Currently, QuickBooks Online (QBO) does not have a feature to automatically add credit card processing fees. However, you can manually add a service item to the customer's invoice as a workaround. Here's how:

 

First, we'll have to create a service item.

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper right corner.
  2. Under the Lists section, select Products and Services.
  3. Click New and choose Service. Name your service (e.g., "Credit Card Fee").
  4. Select the account you want to use to track processing fees.
  5. Click Save and Close.

 

Once you've created the service item, you can include it as an additional line when creating invoices. Below are sample screenshots illustrating the process.

Please leave your response below if you have any additional concerns. We are here to help.

You need to use a party payment processor to sync with QBO.
