How do I create a refund where a fee needs to be refunded to a client (QuickBooks Online)


In the below two scenario's, a customer has paid the surcharge / online processing fee which you need to refund.

Scenario

  1. I created an invoice and accidentally charges a surcharge (online processing fee)
  2. A customer is refusing to pay the surcharge (online processing fee)

Resolution

  1. Log into IntegraPay and refund the surcharge amount (or manually process an eft payment)
  2. Log into QuickBooks Online and create a credit note
  3. Apply the credit note to the Wise-Pay clearing account, so that the refund balances the account
