Each charge is entered in QuickBooks as a “Deposit” with 4 line items: Gross, Fee, Refund, Fee Refund.

  • Gross: The total amount charged to the customer
  • Fee: The transaction fee for the charge
  • Refund: Any refund for the charge
  • Fee Refund: Amount of the transaction fee refunded when a charge is refunded
