You should really speak to a local CPA to get a clear direction and picture of how you need to handle the various issues particular to your jurisdiction.
Revenue and expenses should not be in the same transaction and expenses should certainly not be on an invoice except in rare cases where you pass them on directly with the customer’s knowledge that you do so. (freight and other logistical expenses are sometimes directly invoiced) The revenue sharing would likely be handled as a pass-through similar to sales taxes. You’ll book a transaction to something like a ‘revenue sharing due’ liability account. But unlike sales taxes, it should be handled separately and should not appear on the invoice. It might instead be handled like a dividend payment. PayPal is just an expense. You can book it each time, or from a monthly statement similar to how you would record merchant fees for credit card receipts. The insurance amount is an expense and should be booked when you ‘use’ it. Many insurances are usually pre-paid, booked as assets and then expensed when they are ‘used’. Adjust for your case as needed. The remainder is just left over after everything else. You generally don’t record it separately. (unless you book Retained Earnings periodically) You discover what it is via an Income Statement. (P&L report) Your invoice should result in: Dr. Assets:Current Assets:Accounts Receivable $225.65 Cr. Revenue:Sales $225.65 The receipt of payment would be: Dr. Assets:Current Assets:Checking $225.65 Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Accounts Receivable $225.65 Then you’ll create something similar to each of the following: Dr. Expenses:Bank Fees $3.90 Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Checking $3.90 Dr. Expenses:Insurance $192.15 Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Checking $192.15 or Dr. Expenses:Insurance $192.15 Cr. Assets:Current Assets:Pre-paid:Insurance $192.15 Dr. Revenue:Sales $13.73 Cr. Liabilities:Revenue-Sharing Due $13.73 When you actually pay your revenue-sharing partner: Dr. Liabilities:Revenue-Sharing Due Cr.
