QuickBooks Account Mapping Table

Chase Account QuickBooks Account
Bank Account Select the bank account where payments from Chase are deposited.
Income Account for card payment transactions We'll record income from your card payment transaction in this QuickBooks account.

By default, we’ll create a “Chase Income” account for you.
Expense Account for card processing and service fees We’ll record any transaction processing or service fees you pay in this QuickBooks Account.

By default, we’ll create a “Chase Expense” account for you.

Chase supports all available QuickBooks Online plans. QuickBooks Desktop is currently not supported.

As a Chase customer with a merchant account, you can connect your merchant account with your QuickBooks account for free.

Your business' payment processing data which includes card sales, refunds, fees, chargebacks, and settlement deposits is shared. During the setup process, you will be asked to authorize the sharing of your data between Chase and QuickBooks.

Chase will automatically share your processing data with QuickBooks at the end of the following day.

Setting up the share

If you want to connect your Chase accounts to QuickBooks:

  1. Sign in to your Chase Merchant Portal;
  2. Navigate to the sidebar menu and select QuickBooks;
  3. Click on the ‘Connect to QuickBooks’ button;
  4. Complete the setup process by using either of the following options:
  5. Sign in to your Chase Merchant Portal;
    • Sign up with QuickBooks Online before connecting with Chase; or
    • Connect to QuickBooks by logging in to your QuickBooks Online account.

As part of the setup process, you will be guided through selecting default ledger accounts in QuickBooks to record sales and refund receipts, as well as any fees and chargebacks.

We recommend using the default values suggested in the configuration page so that records related to Chase transactions are kept separate from the rest of your Income and Expense accounts.

No, not at this time. Only the owner of the Chase account with access to the Chase Merchant Portal can set up the connection. However, you may ask your accountant to guide you during the mapping process.

After you set up your connection, it will take at least 24 hours for your processing data to reflect in QuickBooks.

You are only permitted to connect one Chase merchant to one business within QuickBooks. If you attempt to connect an additional Chase business to a QuickBooks business that you have already set up a connection to, you will get an error message and the account will be created but without a connection to QuickBooks. 

Your transactions will appear in the respective bookkeeping accounts that you specified for each transaction type during onboarding.

  1. Each sales transaction will be recorded as a Sales Receipt.
  2. Each refund transaction will be recorded as a Refund Receipt.
  3. When a chargeback amount is removed from your account, it will be recorded as a Refund Receipt. If a chargeback transaction amount is deposited back in your account, it will be recorded as a Sales Receipt.
  4. Each deposit in your account will be created in your account and broken down as follows:
    • Sales: Deposits will be linked to the appropriate Sales Receipts for any sale transactions.
    • Refunds: Deposits will be linked to the appropriate Refund Receipts for any refund transactions.
    • Chargebacks: Deposits will be linked to the appropriate Chargeback Sale or Chargeback Refund receipts.
    • Fees: Transaction processing fees will appear as line items within the deposit.

To manage the sharing of your payment processing data with QuickBooks:

  1. Sign in to your Chase Merchant Portal;
  2. Navigate to the sidebar menu and select QuickBooks;
  3. Click on Manage.

Once you set up your connection for the first time, you will be able to manage your settings and preferences in the Manage QuickBooks page. From this page, you can pause, resume, edit the account mappings, check connection status and more. To entirely disconnect the integration for a business, click Disconnect.

After your connection is set up, no further actions are required. Your processing data will automatically be sent to QuickBooks at the end of each day.

The data elements we currently support are card sales, chargebacks, refunds, fees, and settlement deposits.

In the event your transactions are failed to synchronize with QuickBooks, please verify that the accounts, customers, and taxes match those in QuickBooks Online and are active. If not, re-configure your connection from the 'Manage' page.

  1. If the configuration seems correct, mark the transaction as 'Ready to Sync' and we will re-attempt to sync this transaction.
  2. If this error persists, manually enter this transaction in QuickBooks Online and mark the transaction as 'Resolved' in Merchant Portal. We will stop trying to sync this transaction.
