Manually Process Credit Card QuickBooks Payments for Your Business

To manually process credit card payments in QuickBooks, you'll need to enable the credit card payment feature in your QuickBooks account, which can be done by going to Settings > Payments > Credit Card.

This feature allows you to accept credit card payments from customers, which can then be recorded as deposits in your QuickBooks account. You can also set up credit card fees, which are typically a percentage of the transaction amount.

To process a credit card payment, you'll need to create an invoice for the customer and then apply the payment to the invoice. This can be done by going to the invoice and clicking on the "Receive Payment" button.

You can also track the credit card payment history for a customer by going to the customer's profile and clicking on the "Payment History" tab.

To import credit card transactions into QuickBooks Online, start by clicking the "Upload transactions" button at the top of the transaction list. This will initiate the process of manually importing your credit card transactions.

Downloading credit card transactions from your financial institution's website is the next step. Sign into your bank or credit card's website and access your account statements - every bank's portal will be slightly different. Follow the instructions to download bank transactions, which usually involves selecting a date range and file format.

Common file formats for downloading credit card transactions include PDF, CSV, Excel, and sometimes QBO file formats. You may need to do some searching to find where your bank provides transaction downloads.

To download credit card transactions, save the file in QBO format if available, as this integrates most cleanly into QuickBooks Online. Otherwise, save it in Excel/CSV format, which both work for import.

Converting PDF credit card statements to a compatible file type like Excel or CSV is necessary if your bank provides transaction history in PDF format. A tool like DocuClipper can automatically convert PDF bank and credit card statements to QBO or Excel and CSV files.

To convert CSV files to QBO format, use DocuClipper to instantly convert the CSV files into QBO format for a smoother import experience. This can be done for banks that provide transaction downloads as CSV files but not QBO.
