QB Integration
QB Integration indicates that transactions processed with other applications on your gateway account will be imported to create payment records in QuickBooks. If you are using invoices to record sales in QuickBooks, follow the Invoice Method for QB Integration. Otherwise, follow the Sales Receipt Method.
Invoice Method
- Ensure that Create Receive Payment is selected for "Choose the type of QuickBooks transaction you would like to record for imported sales" in Default Info of the Setup menu.
- Include an Invoice# or Customer# when processing every non-QuickBooks transaction for proper assignment during import.
*To create payment records in QuickBooks, follow steps for Importing Transactions
Result A: If Invoice# was included in the original sale, a payment will be created and applied to that invoice.
Result B: If Invoice# is not found in QuickBooks or Invoice# was not included in transaction, the payment will be created for the Customer# included in the original transaction.
Result C: If neither the Invoice# nor Customer# is found in QuickBooks, payment will be created and applied to the Default Customer. (Payments can be moved from the Default Customer after import)
Sales Receipt Method
- Ensure that Create Sales Receipt is selected for "Choose the type of QuickBooks transaction you would like to record for imported sales" in Default Info of the Setup menu.
- Choose a Sales Receipt Item and Sales Receipt Tip Item in Default Info of the Setup Menu. Any sales receipt created upon import will include the Sales Receipt Item selected priced at the amount of the sale.
- Include a Customer# when processing every non-QuickBooks transaction for proper assignment during import. (If you would like to assign a Sales Receipt #, include it as the Invoice# in the original transaction.)
*To create Sales Receipts in QuickBooks, follow steps for Importing Transactions
Result A: If Customer# was included in transaction, a Sales Receipt will be created for that customer.
Result B: If Customer# is not found in QuickBooks, a Sales Receipt will be created for the Default Customer. (Sales Receipts can be moved from the Default Customer after import)
Result C: If Invoice# was included in original transaction, the created Sales Receipt will be assigned that #. (If that Sales Receipt# already exists in QuickBooks, a new Sales Receipt will NOT be created. The existing Sales Receipt will be updated with the transaction's approval code.)
The Customer# included in a transaction can be assigned to the matching Customer Name, Company Name or Account Number in QuickBooks. When using the Sales Receipt Method, some people choose to use the Account Number as the Customer# to avoid typung lengthy names when processing transactions.
