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.

1:N — One input row creates multiple output rows
Output IIF Transaction Block 3+ rows per input

Hierarchical structure for QuickBooks Desktop import

HDR TRNS (Header) Transaction header with deposit account and total amount
SPL SPL (Split Line) Sales account split line (gross amount)
SPL SPL (Fee Line) Optional fee expense split line
END ENDTRNS Transaction block terminator

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Your data never leaves your device. All files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript - no data is stored on our servers or sent anywhere. There's no account to hack, no database storing your files, and no API connections to your bank or accounting software. You upload, convert, download, and we forget it immediately.
No payment or signup required. You can upload your file, see a free preview of the conversion results, and verify everything looks correct before paying anything. If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.
You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.
