We are possibly looking at this 'problem' the wrong way.

I came here today to find out how my customer can combine the totals of two invoices into one payment (as per his request). As a business owner, trying to save a little here and there, I knew that I'd save a little bit by having only one transaction fee (processing fee) vs two.

We business owners can see the problem but if you were the one collecting the transaction fee's (processing fee's), there isn't a problem.

Here's some math:

10 invoices paid separately = $2.50 in transaction fees that comes out of our pockets (the businesses). On the other hand, that $2.50 is income for another business, Quickbooks (Intuit).

If those 10 invoices could be paid in one transaction, it would only cost the businesses $0.25. Unfortunately, Quickbooks income for that is also $0.25 which is $2.25 less than they could have had.

This is strictly my own opinion... "If it's not broke, lets not fix it."

Some work around's have been mentioned but they are either not possible for my customer or just too complicated for me. Here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to delete one invoice and edit the other to include everything that was on the deleted invoice ;-)

This will be simple for me on these two invoices. I'm glad that I didn't need to combine 10 into 1.

Another thing to note here, is that I don't care if somebody paid 10 invoices in 10 transactions, the transaction fees are all a write off. The only difference is "Now" or "Later". You'll get them back "Later" when you file your taxes.
