Refunds Sent to QuickBooks Online

When Shopmonkey sends a refund to QuickBooks Online it will show in your Sales Transactions as a Refund Receipt.

The date of the refund will be recorded as well as the customer’s name. The total will show as a negative amount and the status will show as Paid.

QuickBooks Online Refund

Shopmonkey sends a refund from Shopmonkey to QuickBooks Online as a refund receipt. That is the extent of a refund from Shopmonkey into QuickBooks Online. A refund receipt needs to be manually handled in QuickBooks Online the way you would if you created the refund receipt manually in QuickBooks Online. This does not remove the payment from the invoice, this will need to be manually done. The refund receipt will stay as a “credit” on the customer account unless it is reconciled.

There are a few ways you can remove the customer receipt:

  • If you have your bank account connected to your QuickBooks Online account, it should make a “match” on the banking screen to the refund receipt when the money is removed from your bank account

  • If you do not have your bank account connected to your QuickBooks Online account, you could also upload your bank statement and it will work the same way

  • If neither of these options works for you, you can make a “Journal Entry” to remove the refund receipt credit or you can create a “fake” invoice to remove it

  • If you need further assistance reconciling a refund receipt on your QuickBooks Online account, please contact QuickBooks Online Support
