Toast Payments & Credit Card Breakdown Support
When using Toast accounting automation with Bookkeep, payment activity that is expected to be deposited by Toast will typically appear in your accounting summary under the Payments Balance line with the label Credit.
This represents the total credit card payment activity processed through Toast that is awaiting settlement and deposit.
Default Behavior
By default, Bookkeep summarizes Toast credit card activity into a single consolidated Credit payment line. This keeps accounting entries clean and simplifies reconciliation against Toast deposits.
Example:
| Payment Type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Credit | $5,250.00 |
Optional Credit Card Type Breakdown
If you need more detailed visibility into payment activity, Bookkeep also supports breaking out credit payments by card type, including:
-
Visa
-
Mastercard
-
Discover
-
American Express
-
Other supported tenders
Example:
| Payment Type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Credit - Visa | $2,800.00 |
| Credit - Mastercard | $1,650.00 |
| Credit - American Express | $650.00 |
| Credit - Discover | $150.00 |
This can be helpful for:
-
advanced reconciliation workflows
-
processor analysis
-
operational reporting requirements
-
custom clearing account setups
