How do I journal sales in my accounting system

[Bodacious]

I am new to Square.  In the past, I would collect cash and credit payments, separate the "sales" from the "tax collected" and then enter into my accounting system.  At the end of the month, I would pay the credit card fees.

Now with Square, the fees are already deducted which is great, but when I make my entries using the amount sent by Square, the sales will be off.  Any suggestions of how I can rectify it?

Hey there, @Bodacious - 

Welcome to Square! 

Are you using another system to keep track of your transactions - like QuickBooks? Or another system? 

I will keep an eye out for your reply.

I use QuickBooks, but I did not bother to link them together.  When I attempted to link them i would have to link them to a generate Sales or Labor rather than a specific store.  We run 3 small seasonal shoppes and track payroll, sales and cost at each.

Hey there @Bodacious. I'm jumping in for @Kassi_ today. 

This article on matching transfers to sales might help you out. If that doesn't, you can take a look at this thread as well with some sellers who chat about how they're reconciling with Square and Quickbooks. Feel free to tag either of them on that post if you have other questions. Especially @GlassJudy since he's a SuperSeller!
