Quick Answers

When should I use Sales Receipts vs Journal Entries?

Use Sales Receipts for transaction-level detail and customer tracking. Use Journal Entries for fee breakdown and professional accounting.

How are fees handled?

By default, fees are NOT included in Sales Receipts (they reduce your deposit instead). Enable 'Include Fee Line Item' to add a negative line for fee tracking.

What Product/Service do I need in QuickBooks?

Create a Product/Service called 'Square Sale' (or your chosen name) before importing. Settings → Products and Services → New.

Why Square Payments Don't Import Directly to QuickBooks

The Transaction Format Problem

Square exports payment data with different field names and structures than QuickBooks expects. Square includes fees inline while QuickBooks Sales Receipts need specific column formatting. Without conversion, payments fail to import or create incorrect records without proper customer attribution and payment method details.

What This Tool Does

We transform Square transaction data into QuickBooks Sales Receipt format: - Each payment becomes a separate Sales Receipt - Customer names and payment method details preserved - Location info captured in memo for multi-location businesses - Optional fee line item for expense tracking Your QuickBooks reflects every Square transaction accurately.

Common Sales Receipt Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Transactions Export data to Sales Receipt - and how we solve them

No Customer Name

QuickBooks requires a customer name for each Sales Receipt

Customer: (blank)
Customer: Square Customer

We use customer name if available, or 'Square Customer' if none

Customer records are created automatically in QBO

Product/Service Not in QBO

QBO may require Product/Service to exist before import

Product: 'Square Sale' (not in QBO)
Create 'Square Sale' item in QBO first

Create a generic 'Square Sale' product in QBO before import

Settings > Products and Services > New > Service

Square Uses Negative Fees

Square exports fees as negative values (e.g., -$3.22)

Fees: -$3.22
Fee line item: $3.22 (positive for expense)

Fee values are converted to positive when adding fee line items

Enable 'Include Fee Line Item' option for detailed fee tracking
