Thank you, Skimmer! Automated Payout Syncing with QuickBooks is a game changer!
Skimmer's new payout syncing update automatically syncs with QuickBooks, creating both an invoice and payment record AND creating a bank deposit that reconciles with the payout. The reconciliation is 98% done for you!
So, how do you set it up?
- Set up the QuickBooks integrations settings as shown below or in the video above.
- Choose 'undeposited funds' for payment deposit account in QuickBooks for the Skimmer Payouts
- Choose ‘banking/credit card merchant fees’ expense account in QuickBooks for the skimmer payout fees
Here’s why:
Online Payment Processing
-
Skimmer uses Stripe for processing online credit/debit card payments
-
Stripe takes a fee for processing credit cards, debit cards, and ACH online
-
The new payout syncing feature helps reconcile the difference between invoice amount and actual deposit
-
Example: Customer pays $100 - $2 processing fee = you receive $98
QuickBooks Tips for Setup and Reconciliation (04:51 - 07:22)
-
Connect business checking and credit card accounts to QuickBooks
-
Bank transaction feed shows actual transactions in real-time
-
New Skimmer payout sync feature creates a bank deposit matching the payout
-
Invoices paid go to undeposited funds, waiting to match with payout
-
This is why you should always choose “undeposited funds” for payments (not the bank account)
