Hello there, littleislandflow.

Thanks for reaching out to us. I'd be happy to assist you in recording commission earned in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

You can create a service item for commission and select an income account. If you're not sure what's the exact income account to choose, we recommend consulting an accountant for guidance.

1. Go to Sales.
2. Click Products and Services.
3. Click New.
4. Click Service.
5. Enter the name (Commission) and other necessary information.
6. Click Save and close.

Now, you can apply the service item as a different line in the Sales Receipt once you get the commission. 

As always, you can give us a call if you wish to have somebody to guide you through the whole steps. I'd be happy to provide you the steps on how you can reach our QuickBooks Online Care Team:

1. Go to https://help.quickbooks.intuit.com/en_US/contact
2. Select  QuickBooks Online.
3. Select a category under “What can we help you with?”.
4. Scroll down the page, then click the Get Phone Number.

I'll be around here in the Community, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any other concerns.
