The fees are taken out before the sales deposited into my account. How do I make a correct record of sales?

    I need to know the answer to this as well.

    So I’ve kinda figured it out since I’ve posted the question, here’s what I did.
    My actual sales were $117.46 and the actual deposit was $114.23 so I split the transaction and the first category for sales I put $117.46 and the second category I went through and found “discounts and fees” and that makes the second category a negative amount which is where I would put the $3.23 credit card processing fee which makes the transaction balance.

    I’ll try to post a screenshot to better explain.

    Mine does show a negative :( it always shows a positive...what the heck?!?! It used to work fine. Why does this software ALWAYS get jacked up after spending more than 20 minutes using it!!!!!! ARG!!!!!!

    Hey @trav2001 . Can you give me some further info here? Maybe a screenshot to show us what you're doing? The info that the rest of the thread on Discounts and Fees should apply here if you categorize the second half of your split transaction as such.
