There are different options to record the credit card processing fees to Quickbooks and you should consult with your accountant to determine what method works best for your organization.
DonorView records the processing fees that are PAID BY YOUR CONSTITUENTS in the software so that you can see the total amount paid by the constituent vs. the net amount after the processing fees.
The processing fees PAID BY YOUR ORGANIZATION AS AN EXPENSE are not recorded in the software, but are available on the deposit reports available in the Billing section of your account.
Therefore, you can choose to record the gross or net amounts paid by the donors, but any processing fees that you pay as the organization will need to be manually entered into Quickbooks (they are not available via import).
Below are 3 options when recording the processing fees.
Option 1 - Use Gross Amount and Record All Fees Paid as a Total Expense when Making Deposit

When performing Make Deposit in QB, add a row for Processing Fee Expense of $127.41.
