    Square has deducted $5.51 in fees so have deposited $470.00 into your bank account. Go to Banking>>Prepare Bank Deposit and click on Deposit Adjustment.

    In the Prepare Bank Deposit window tick both the payment and fees transaction so the Total Deposit Amount is the amount deposited into your bank account by Square. You'll be able to match this transaction with the bank feed transaction.

     

     

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
