Overview

When posting a Shopify payout to QuickBooks Desktop through Webgility Desktop, you may see the following error:

“Applied To Txn Add payment amount field has an invalid value. You can’t pay more than the amount due.”

This error indicates that the payout amount does not match the amount available on one or more related QuickBooks transactions. As a result, the payout may not post correctly and can leave the clearing account out of balance.
