Using Bitcoin With Quickbooks- Part 1: Recording Sales and Accepting Payments

This is the first part of a multi-part series that will explain how to integrate Bitcoin as a payment method using your existing small business accounting software package. Why would you need to do this? In short, because accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and state and federal regulatory authorities require reporting in US Dollars. This procedure will allow you to properly account for the full extent of your Bitcoin sales and integrate those sales into your business records as if they had originally been made in your home currency.

Since the vast majority of small business owners use a version of Intuit QuickBooks, this series will refer to that product (specifically the 2014 version). The concepts will be the same regardless of what software or version you use, though the implementation may vary somewhat. I assume as a pre-requisite that you have a basic knowledge of financial accounting, that you are familiar with your accounting software package and that the amounts that you record are determined with reference to US Dollars.

Starting in 2009, most US desktop versions of QuickBooks featured native multi-currency support. This function can be activated from the preferences menu and allows rates to be automatically updated from the internet. The QuickBooks file has a default or “home” currency and then tracks as many other foreign currencies as needed, with the functional currency set by vendor, customer, or account.

Use of the multi-currency feature comes with a few caveats- First, QuickBooks will only update currencies automatically when the home currency is US Dollars so this feature may not work well for users outside the US. Second, add-ins like Statement Writer and Fixed Asset Manager will only work with US Dollars, meaning financial statements cannot be denominated in Bitcoin if you choose to hold them as an asset. Finally, QuickBooks does not integrate with many of the Bitcoin intermediaries in common use at this time. Thus, billing and collection would require an extra step even if you did use multi-currency. For these reasons, this procedure does not make use of multi-currency support.

As of the fall of 2013, Bitpay.com supported ledger downloads in Intuit Interchange File format (.iif). Though this may save some data entry work if your business has considerable Bitcoin transaction activity with Bitpay, you will still need to create the accounts in QuickBooks to classify your transactions. If there is a demand for it, I will address how Bitpay and QuickBooks interact in a later article, though Bitpay’s website already does a good job of this.

To book Bitcoin sales in QuickBooks:

1. First, record sales as normal, using the programmed workflow in QuickBooks (either “create statements” or “create invoices”) in your functional currency (USD, Euro, etc.). If you request funds using Coinbase, Bitpay, BIPS, or another payment service provider, you may want to select the option bill with reference to your functional currency instead of directly in Bitcoin in order to reduce your exchange risk.

2. Before recording payment, you will need to add two new accounts to your company’s chart of accounts (you only need to add these accounts once). From the home screen, select “Chart of Accounts”, then select the “Account” tab and click “New.” The first account will be an “Other Current Asset” account (under “Other Account Types”) called “Bitcoin” (or “Bitcoin Wallet” or whatever works for you). The tax line mapping will be “not tax related.” The second account will be an income account called “Bitcoin Exchange Gains.” The tax line mapping will be “other income.” You may also want to add an expense account called “Bitcoin Exchange Losses”, though gains and losses generally should net out and show up as a single line item on your Profit and Loss statement. Close the chart of accounts.

3. Add Bitcoin as a payment method. From the home screen, select the “Receive Payments” function (also accessible from the Customers menu). On the “Customer Payment” screen, select the “More” button adjacent to the cluster of payment method buttons. Then select “add new payment method.” The new payment method will be called “Bitcoin” of type “Cash.” Select “Ok.”

4. To record a payment on account in Bitcoin, click the “Receive Payments” button and select the customer from the “Received From” menu. Input the amount received in dollars. This should be the same amount that you billed, even if the exchange rate fluctuated between billing and receipt, or else QuickBooks will show an unresolved debit or credit balance on the customer’s account. Click the “More” payment method button (looks like a plus sign), then select “Bitcoin.” In the “Deposit To” box, select the other current asset account you created to track your Bitcoin Wallet. Your customer should now show payment in full for the associated invoice.

This procedure is just one of several possible ways to record Bitcoin sales in QuickBooks and less complicated that some of the others out there. Since you are already using the regular QuickBooks workflow, you should have no problems with your Cost of Goods Sold or Accounts Receivable showing weird balances (they will be denominated in dollars, just as you recorded them). Always remember to record sales and payments in QuickBooks using the “Create Invoices” and “Receive Payments” functions. Not doing so may result in misclassification or underreporting of income, unapplied customer payments and other undesired results.

The next part of the series will be “Revaluing Your Wallet and Converting to Cash.” Feel free to contact me with feedback, questions, or requests.

We’re Now Accepting Bitcoin on Dell.com

[UPDATE 10/19/17] Due to low demand, Bitcoin is no longer available as a form of payment. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. You can still complete your purchase through a number of alternative payment options such as PayPal, all major Credit Cards, and Dell Financial Services.

Now you can buy digital with digital – starting today, we’re accepting bitcoin on Dell.com.

We’re piloting bitcoin, the world’s most widely used digital currency, as a purchase option on Dell.com for consumer and small business shoppers in the U.S. We’re excited to bring you the choice and flexibility this payment option offers and have partnered with Coinbase, a trusted and secure third party payment processor, to make this possible.

I’m excited to share in the coming days we’ll be offering a special Alienware promotion wherein customers can save 10 percent off a new Alienware system purchase (up to $150 limit) when checking out with bitcoin. Stay tuned to Dell.com/bitcoin for more information on this exciting offer.

When you are ready to make a purchase, simply add the items to your cart and choose Bitcoin as the payment method. Checkout our special video guide on Dell.com/bitcoin to see the bitcoin payment process in action.

We are moving more quickly to meet your needs. In fact, we were able to work with Coinbase to integrate bitcoin payment in just 14 days!

“We’ve fostered a close partnership with the Dell team and that’s been instrumental in getting the Coinbase integration up and running in such a short timeframe. We look forward to continuing to support the team as they explore other ways to offer even more functionality when it comes to bitcoin payments,” said Fred Ehrsam, Co-Founder of Coinbase.

We know you have some questions. We’ve tried our best to answer some of them below, but if you have others, be sure to check out the Terms & Conditions and our FAQ, or feel free to leave them in the comments below.

Bitcoin is a distributed peer-to-peer network offering a payment system based on a completely digital currency. Bitcoin payments can be made easily from anywhere in the world, and offer reduced payment processing costs. Bitcoins can be transferred instantly and securely between any two people in the world.

We have teamed with Coinbase to handle the processing of Dell.com transactions on the bitcoin network. Founded in June of 2012, Coinbase is an international digital wallet that allows you to securely buy, use, and accept bitcoin currency. Many other companies such as Overstock and Expedia are already using Coinbase to accept bitcoin.

How do I get started with bitcoin?

To acquire bitcoin, you’ll need to create a bitcoin wallet on a site such as Coinbase. This is the account from which you can send and receive bitcoin. Once you have a wallet, you can purchase bitcoin from Coinbase directly. Bitcoin can also be mined, though this requires high levels of processing power. This is something Dell Services customer Bitcoin ASIC Hosting found to be true, and is why they partnered with us to provide a large scale and high density crypto-currency hosting facility available to the Bitcoin mining community.

The process of selecting products and services on Dell.com remains the same for bitcoin users as for everyone. Once your selections are made and you are ready to make a purchase, simply add the items to your cart and choose bitcoin as the payment method. You can send payment from your bitcoin wallet by using the generated bitcoin address, by scanning the QR code from your smartphone, or by using a Coinbase account.

You can use bitcoin to purchase any products on Dell’s consumer, EPP or small/medium business sites in the U.S. Bitcoin will only be accepted online at the point of sale, not on existing invoices.

Didn’t Dell already accept Bitcoin?

While it was noted earlier this year that you could purchase Gyft cards with bitcoin and use those to shop on Dell.com, we are now pleased to accept bitcoin as a direct payment option via Coinbase.

Wasn’t Dell Security warning about Bitcoin malware earlier this year?

Our SonicWALL researchers did observe an increase in bitcoin mining botnets in our 2013 Threat Report. However, bitcoin adopters can take precautions to ensure security. We’ve enlisted Coinbase, one of the most secure, reputable and widely used bitcoin platforms in North America to help with this. Information on their security protection can be found here.

[UPDATE 7/20/14]

Based on feedback from one of our commenters below, here are some additional precautions bitcoin adopters can take for security:

Dell SecureWorks’ BitCoin security experts Joe Stewart, director of Malware Research for the CTU, and Pat Litke, CTU security researcher, recommend:

• Use a non-web-based wallet, always back up and encrypt your wallet, and ensure that the machine that is used to store the bitcoin wallet is malware free. After all, all other precautions are for naught if the machine is compromised by malware.
• Consider using open-source and trusted wallet software (Electrum, Armory) – Use only in deterministic mode.
• If holding a large sum of currency, consider moving the majority of it over to a cold-storage wallet. When access to those funds is needed, move them back to your “hot” wallet where they can then be spent.

[UPDATE 7/24/14]

Our Alienware promotion mentioned above is now live!

You can now save 10 percent (up to $150 limit) when checking out with bitcoin. The discount will apply to all Alienware computer purchases and select Alienware accessories purchased. The total amount of the discount will be noted during checkout when purchasing with bitcoin. Here’s a sample of what the would look like:

[UPDATE 7/24/14]

Note: This Alienware promotion ends August 14, 2014.

Supergeil! Bei Edeka mit Bitcoins Lebensmittel bestellen!

Liebe, Luft und Bitcoin

Nein, das ist kein verspäteter April-Scherz oder so. Man kann bei Edeka-Lebensmittel.de nun mit Bitcoins bestellen. So gut wie alles, was man in den Filialen von “Wir-lieben-Lebensmittel”-Edeka kaufen kann, kann man über das Online-Portal bestellen. Über Shopify und BitPay nimmt Edeka nun dafür auch Bitcoin an. Den Beweis seht ihr in dem Screenshot. Was das für den deutschen Bitcoiner bedeutet, muss ich wohl nicht erklären: Ihr könnt jetzt fast alles, was euer Herz bzw. euer Magen begehrt, mit Bitcoin bestellen. Schokolade, Kaffee, Wurst, Käse, Brot, Ravioli, Schnapps, Dosenfisch …

Die Lieferung kostet bis 30 Kilogramm 3,90 Euro. Ab 100 Euro ist sie kostenlos. Geliefert wird per DHL, so dass man sich noch mindestens einen Tag gedulden muss. Interessant ist auch, dass Edeka auch ins europäische Ausland liefert, was angesichts der mitunter orbitalen Preise für Lebensmittel in unseren Nachbarländern durchaus seinen Reiz haben könnte.

Wer Lust hat, zu unken, der findet natürlich etwas: So liefert Rewe, anders als Edeka, sofort und mit der eigenen Flotte aus, weshalb es besser gewesen wäre, Rewe wäre diesen tollen Schritt gegangen. Außerdem akzeptiert Edeka Bitcoin über BitPay, was vermutlich bedeutet, dass die Bitcoin direkt in Euro gewechselt werden und man genauso oder fast so gut die Bitcoins auch verkaufen könnte. Aber … all das ändert nichts, dass heute, am 2. April, der Tag ist, ab dem man sich in Deutschland von Luft, Liebe und Bitcoin allein ernähren kann.

Mit Bitcoin bei Edeka einkaufen – ein unterschätzter Meilenstein

Der Markt für Lebensmittel dürfte der älteste Markt der Menschheitsgeschichte sein. So ist es nicht ungewöhnlich, dass er sich ebenfalls weiterentwickelt und das Essen bis nach Hause bringt. Ungewöhnlicher ist es dann, wenn wir einen alten Freund beim Einkaufen treffen: Bitcoin.

Lebensmittel Online

Zahlreiche Nutzer der Internet-Plattform „Reddit“ haben sich in einem Thread/Beitrag zusammengetan, um herauszufinden in welchen Ländern der Welt es möglich ist mit Bitcoin Essen zu bestellen. Zwar ist es mit Sicherheit nicht in allen Ländern die günstigste Methode, aber bestimmt mit Abstand die bequemste.

Ein unerwartetes Bild:

Und mit dabei: Deutschland

Edeka & Bitcoin

Auf der Webseite habe ich mir die Situation mal angeschaut. Zahlungsabwickler ist hier das uns bekannte Bitcoin-Unternehmen BitPay, welches die Zahlung für viele Unternehmen einrichtet. Berichtet haben wir bereits darüber im Jahr 2015, was viele für einen verspäteten Aprilscherz hielten.

Verschickt werden die Artikel in einem Paket bis 30 Kg, wobei sich die Versandkosten damit bis jetzt auf 4,99 erhöht haben. Ab 100 Euro Bestellwert ist der Versand frei: Großeinkauf für die nächste Party?

Meilenstein

Für uns ist es ein cooles Gadget, eine nette Spielerei auf dem Weg zur großen Bitcoin-Akzeptanz. Aber an anderen Orten auf der Welt ist diese kleine „Spielerei“ ein Meileinstein – und sogar lebensrettend.

Somit hilft Bitcoin indirekt den Hungernden, und das ist jetzt nicht übertrieben: in Venezuela bricht die Wirtschaft zusammen. Seit Jahren leidet das Land und nicht mal die grundlegenden Dinge für das Leben, Nahrungsmittel und Medizin, können bereitgestellt werden.

Hungernde Familien fliehen aus dem Land, die Militärs versuchen die Nahrungsimporte zu eskortieren. Schwarzmärkte gibt es dort überall, Preise für Mehl und andere simple Dinge liegen bei Preisen, die das 100-fache des normalen Preises ausmachen können.

Und dort greift Bitcoin: Unternehmen und Studenten haben dort das Internet durchforstet und Marktplätze gesucht, die Bitcoin akzeptieren. Für sie ist der Bitcoin allemal stabiler als ihre nationale Währung und Dienstleister wie Purse.io führen dazu, dass man mal eben Nahrungsmittel aus dem Ausland bestellen kann.

Wie ein Reddit-Nutzer treffend feststellte, nachdem er die Karte vor sich sah:

„Also mit ein paar Ausnahmen, lässt sich praktisch überall auf der Welt Nahrung für Bitcoin kaufen. Es ist nicht günstig (gerade der internationale Versand), aber möglich.

Warum das wichtig ist?

Je einfacher es ist mit Bitcoin zu leben, desto eher kommt Bitcoin in den Umlauf und desto größer ist die allgemeine Akzeptanz.“

Värdex Suisse AG

Blockchain technologies are rapidly changing the way we think about our digital identities and the way we interact with the world around us. Inherently decentralised, common cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and Ethereum, as well as, other Altcoins, are pioneering new innovations in a number of global industries.

Since 2008, Blockchain applications have increased dramatically, proving effective as technologies to reduce transaction costs, eliminate inefficient intermediaries and shift our reliance from subjective to objective decision making. For example, international remittances utilising Bitcoin will cost less and will settle faster, than utilising the service of a conventional global payment providers such as Western Union or XE. Despite the many benefits associated with cryptocurrencies, their integration into mainstream business and consumer industries has been latent.

The greatest impediment for mass market adoption, can often be explained by the complex nature of Blockchain technologies. Businesses are often required to make an upfront investment in new technical capabilities, or purchase additional hardware, before they add value onto existing products and services. Subsequently, the locations where consumers can currently use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, for transactional purposes, are limited.

Additionally, consumers often face liquidity constraints when storing cryptocurrencies both on and offline . Exchanging Ethereum and Bitcoin for cash, despite the benefits of such cryptocurrencies, is complex and time consuming- transfers from exchanges to a nominated bank account can take several days- precluding these digital assets from being used practically.

Enter Bitcoin ATMs

Bitcoin ATMS, make buying and selling cryptocurrencies accessible for everyday customers, by instantly exchanging cryptocurrency for cash. The team at Värdex Suisse AG, has recognised the need and demand for a Swiss Bitcoin ATM network, to provide greater access and flexibility to the growing world of Blockchain. Founded in late 2017, our mission has been to make buying and selling Bitcoins as simple as using a normal ATM. Since the start of the year, our Bitcoin network has
facilitated more than 3 million CHF of buy and sell orders, and this number continues to grow rapidly. Thanks to the ongoing support of our customers, the Värdex Bitcoin ATM network is now the largest in Switzerland. And, we’re just getting started.

In collaboration with Bitcoin Suisse AG, the team has focused intensively on expanding the number of terminals offered throughout the country and you can currently find Värdex ATMs in 10 unique and convenient Swiss locations. This number will increase and we’re working hard to ensure that all 4 corners of the country are fully serviced to meet the demands of our Blockchain enthusiasts, investors and newcomers.

So what are the benefits of a Bitcoin ATM and why is it better than purchasing cryptocurrency on an exchange?

Our team has decided that there are at least 6 benefits consumers can take advantage of, when purchasing Bitcoins from our Värdex network. These benefits, include

ATMs execute buy and sell requests almost instantaneously. As soon as money has been inserted into the terminal, a purchase or sale is executed for a sum equivalent to the payment amount.

#2 Accessibility

A simple three-step process is all you need to know when using our terminals. You don’t need to setup an online wallet, nor deal with lengthy public keys, Your receipt contains a QR code, public and private key, which can be scanned and is immediately recognised by our terminals.

#3 Security

Whenever a new purchase request is accepted, our terminals generate a new private key and QR code, which will be printed on a paper receipt. This receipt is also known as a paper wallet- similar to a hard wallet which is tangible and an offline method of storing Bitcoin(s).
