Why You Need Stripe-to-NetSuite Conversion

Different Data Structures

Stripe exports payment data as flat transaction rows (one charge per row with amount, fee, net). NetSuite requires balanced journal entries with separate debit and credit lines for each GL account. Manual conversion is time-consuming and error-prone — each payment needs three accounting lines.

What This Tool Does

Automatically converts each Stripe payment into a balanced NetSuite journal entry: - Gross Revenue → Credit to Revenue account (full amount before fees) - Processing Fees → Debit to Fees Expense account (Stripe's cut) - Net Deposit → Debit to Bank account (what you actually receive) The result is NetSuite-ready CSV that you can import directly via CSV Import Assistant.

Common Journal Entry Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Payments Export data to Journal Entry - and how we solve them

Journal Entry Not Balanced

Debits don't equal credits (NetSuite requirement)

Debit: $100, Credit: $95 (unbalanced)
Debit: $100 ($3 fee + $97 net), Credit: $100 (gross)

Tool auto-calculates to ensure Debit = Credit

Verify Amount = Fee + Net in source data

GL Accounts Not Configured

Bank/Revenue/Fee accounts not specified

(blank Account fields)
Bank: 1000, Revenue: 4000, Fees: 6100

Duplicate Payment ID

Same Stripe charge ID imported twice

External ID: ch_123 (already exists)
External ID: ch_456 (unique)

Filter to new payments only before export

NetSuite rejects duplicates; safe to skip

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the standard Payments export from Stripe Dashboard. This includes all necessary fields: charge ID, amount, fee, net, customer email, and date. Make sure to export the full date range you want to import.
Each payment creates one journal entry with three lines: (1) Debit your Bank account for the net amount you receive, (2) Debit your Fees Expense for Stripe's processing fee, (3) Credit your Revenue account for the gross sale. Debits = Credits, so NetSuite validates the entry automatically.
In NetSuite, go to Lists → Accounting → Accounts to see your chart of accounts. Look for accounts like 'Bank - Operating Account' (typically 1000s), 'Sales Revenue' (typically 4000s), and 'Payment Processing Fees' (typically 6000s). You can use either the account number or the account name.
Yes, export any date range from Stripe and convert it all at once. When importing to NetSuite, you'll select the posting period. For large imports (1000+ transactions), consider splitting by month to make posting period assignment easier.
Stripe refunds appear as negative amounts in the export. The tool creates reversing journal entries: Credit (reduce) Bank, Credit (reduce) Fees (fee is returned), Debit (reduce) Revenue. This properly reverses the original sale.
The tool uses Stripe's charge ID as the External ID in NetSuite. If you import the same payment twice, NetSuite will reject it as a duplicate External ID. This prevents double-counting.
