Woo-Hoo! How Do I Enable It?

  1. Select the Organization needed at the top right of the page
  2. Go to Settings on the left menu of the page – – >click on the Configure button under the payment platform needed.
  3. In the Taxes tab, toggle Apply generic tax code to ON in the Expense tax settings.
  4. Select the appropriate tax lines to be applied to fees (paid directly to the payment processor) and application fees (paid to other third parties connected to your payment processor). Tax codes in the dropdowns are taken from your accounting company (QuickBooks/Xero), so make sure you have the tax needed there before you can choose it in Synder.
  5. Click Update to save changes.
  6. Sync your transactions.
