QuickBooks Merchant Service

[mydanilo]

Merchant Service Deposits seems to be a new feature for 2009 versions. I have QB Pro 2008. Seems like I have to manually enter. Bummer! If anybody has a good way of getting the transactions into QB 2008 or older, pls let me know. As far as I know you can only download fees or connect to the merchant account and see the activity but not automatically download.

Even in 2009 - they are "unmatched", and so are problematic. I have looked at including code to post the transaction into QBXML - which would then post in. But lots of new questions arise. Is it a payment or a sales receipt? If a receipt, then what product? What customer should it post to? Including all of that as "options" in the addon would be a significant effort.

Having said that - I'm thinking of posting everything to a generic "Online Customer" and posting as payments received. Then the credit balances can be applied to sales receipts for products purchased. The sales entries are still manual, but there is no other way for QB to know what has been sold. Anything more specific gets ugly quickly, and at that point, the two other QB products which export/import transactions are probably better approaches (one using IIF export and the other using web connector).

For the moment - I'm more focused on making sure the qbms addon does what it should correctly, and as securely as possible.
