Hello there. I appreciate your immediate response. 

 

You'll need to download a Web Connect file or template directly from your bank so you can manually import your credit card transactions in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). I'll be glad to guide you on how.

 

Web connect (.QBO) files are online banking transactions from your bank's website. Every financial institution has a different method for downloading QuickBooks Web Connect files. You can visit their website or follow these steps:

 

  1. Open a web browser and go to your bank’s website.
  2. Sign in to your bank account using your normal process.
  3. Download your transactions as a QuickBooks Web Connect (.qbo file).

 

Once you have the Web Connect file, open QuickBooks and import them to your QBDT company. Then, please make sure to create a backup of your company file for future use. Refer to this article's Import Web Connect (.qbo) files section for the step-by-step guide: Set up bank accounts for Bank Feeds in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

In case you encounter importing issues, I'd recommend performing the suggested fixes in this article starting with Step 4Fix Web Connect import errors.

 

Then, you'll want to categorize your downloaded credit card transactions to keep your account updated. You can refer to this article for the detailed steps: Add and match Bank Feed transactions in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Also, I encourage you to reconcile your credit card account every month. This helps monitor your expense transactions and detect any possible errors accordingly. For the step-by-step guide, you can refer to this article: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Let me know how it goes in the comments below. If you have other banking or importing concerns and questions about managing transactions in QBDT, I'm always around to help. Take care, and I wish you continued success.
