Recording iZettle Transactions

IZettle again!
I'm really stuck as to how I should record the transactions.
For example, a customer paid £54 on 1st Jan, which in turn showed as a credit of £53.05 on 6th Jan.
If I use this method, I can't reconcile my bank statement:
1. Record a Money Received transaction for the full amount of the sale, deposited into your cheque account ie main bank account.
2. Record a separate Money Paid Out transaction paid from the Main Account and allocated to ‘iZettle Fees'.

Should iZettle be a new Finance Account or a Supplier?

Hi Gill,

For the Money Paid Out transaction you can use 'iZettle' as the supplier in
the Paid To field. In the 'Allocate to Account' section you should enter
an appropriate expense account - for example, you could use the existing
'Bank Fees' account or you could create a new expense account called
'iZettle Fees'.

Hi Mark, sorry to have emailed about this again!
I have it working now though like this:
I settle the whole invoice as you suggested
Then for simplicity I add a General transaction, Journal memo headed iZettle Fees, from main bank account to iZettle Fees account 
so it is an expense, like bank fees.
i trust that works in an accounting sense but let me know if not please.
Otherwise thanks for your help yet again.
Best wishes

Hi Gill,

Yes the approach you describe is fine.
