What Our Users Say
works good, wish it had batch mode
I was spending 4-5 hours every month reformatting exports manually. This tool paid for itself in the first use. The preview feature helped me verify the mapping before paying.
exactly what i needed thx!!
Super straightforward. Upload, convert, download. No account needed which is nice. Would give 5 stars if they add Xero support.
saved me hours of work
My accountant was so happy when I sent her the converted file. No more back-and-forth about date formats or missing columns. Everything imported correctly on first try.
fast and easy 10/10 would recommend
Been using this for 6 months for monthly reconciliations. Handles all the edge cases - partial refunds, multi-line orders, currency conversions. Very reliable tool.
Good tool, does what it says. Interface could be bit better but conversion quality is excellent. Using it for my 3 Shopify stores.
Switched from A2X to this. Way simpler for my needs - I don't need real-time sync, just clean data once a month. This delivers exactly that.
finally!! something that works with QB desktop!!

Why Desktop Users Need IIF Format
The Desktop Import Challenge
QuickBooks Desktop doesn't accept CSV imports for most transaction types.
It requires IIF (Intuit Interchange Format) - a tab-delimited format with specific header rows.
Most SaaS tools focus on QuickBooks Online, leaving Desktop users without options.
What This Tool Does
We convert Stripe payments to properly structured IIF files:
- TRNS/SPL/ENDTRNS format for Desktop compatibility
- Balanced transactions (debits = credits) validated automatically
- Account names configurable to match your Chart of Accounts
Import directly via File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files.
Common IIF File Import Errors
Issues you might encounter when importing Payments Export data to IIF File - and how we solve them
IIF Format Error
QuickBooks Desktop is strict about IIF formatting
Incorrect column order or missing headers
!TRNS, !SPL, !ENDTRNS headers in correct order
We generate proper IIF headers and structure
Import via File > Utilities > Import > IIF Files
Transaction Doesn't Balance
IIF requires AMOUNT sum to equal zero per transaction
TRNS: 100, SPL: -90 (doesn't balance)
TRNS: 100, SPL: -100 (balances to zero)
We ensure each transaction balances correctly
All amounts are validated before export

Frequently Asked Questions
IIF import works with QuickBooks Pro, Premier, and Enterprise versions 2020-2025. Some older versions may also work.
Yes. The account names (Undeposited Funds, Sales account, etc.) must exist in your QuickBooks before importing.
In QuickBooks Desktop, go to File → Utilities → Import → IIF Files. Select your downloaded file and click Import.
Most errors are from account names not matching. Ensure your Chart of Accounts has the exact account names specified in the tool options.
