For great advice speak to your accountant. In general sales are posted to a revenue or income account. Payments are assigned to ‘deposited funds’ or a checking account. A linked bank account is not advisable for credit card deposits as the amounts returned form the register are the gross amounts and some credit card companies remit amounts net of credit card charges. Customer Liabilities like order deposits, Gift Cards and store credits should be posted to a current liability account and drawer/over short is typically posted to a miscellaneous expense account.
8. Match your MicroBiz Sales Tax to your QuickBooks Tax Agency. If you have additional stores in different tax jurisdictions you can set these up at the end of the process.
That’s it – you can check out the FAQ or watch the video or fine tune your settings. You’re ready to post your next register closeout direct to QuickBooks.
You can fine tune your settings in the Connection settings tabs.
