Step 1: Create a Bank Account named "Stripe Bank Account" (or name it as needed) in QuickBooks. This account will be used to record your Stripe sales & Stripe fees.
Step 2: CHECKING ACCOUNT/CURRENT ACCOUNT should not be used directly to record your Stripe sales as it will create numerous issues in reconciling the Stripe fees.
Step 3: Setup the bank feeds in QuickBooks or upload the Bank Statement in QuickBooks. The downloaded transactions will be available in the bank review section.
2) Setup PayTraQer
Step 1: Connect PayTraQer with your QuickBooks (How to?)
