The Connection Gap
How the Connection Works
Common Bank Statement Import Errors
Issues you might encounter when importing Transactions Export data to Bank Statement - and how we solve them
Cash Transactions in Clearing
Cash doesn't flow through Square to bank
Enable 'Exclude cash transactions' option
Cash should go to separate Cash on Hand account
Fees Have Wrong Sign
Square exports fees as negative, Xero needs negative for outflows
We preserve the negative sign automatically
Check that fee rows show negative amounts
Transaction vs Deposit Date
Bank shows deposit on different day than transaction
This is normal - Square batches daily, deposits next day
Match by Deposit ID or batch deposits together
Gift Card Recorded as Revenue
Gift card sales are liability, not revenue
Enable gift card detection for proper handling
Post to Gift Card Liability account, not Sales
