What it Does


When you post a closed register batch to QuickBooks from MicroBiz Cloud POS:


  • Your QuickBooks Sales Tax is updated – so you can manage all payments to your Tax Agency through QuickBooks.
  • Sales and cost of goods and inventory are updated in QuickBooks so your store activity is visible immediately in your P&L reports.
  • Payments taken at the register: cash, checks, credit cards are reflected in whatever accounts you designate – for cash and checks you may want to post to un-deposited funds while credit cards you may wish to post direct to your checking account.
  • Order deposits, store credits issued and Gift Cards sold all reflect in your customer liabilities and your customer liabilities are automatically reduced when orders are delivered, gift cards are redeemed and store credits used as payments. This activity shows immediately in your Balance Sheet report.

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.


9. 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.
