Field Mapping

How Stripe Balance_Transactions fields map to Xero Bank Statement

Stripe Balance_Transactions	Source Value		Xero Bank Statement	Target Value	Note
`Created (UTC)`	`2025-01-15 14:00:00`	→	`Date`	`01/15 14:00:00/2025`	Regional date format conversion
`Fee`	`3.20`	→	`Amount (Row 2)`		Negative fee expense
`Type`	`charge`	→	`Payee`	`charge`	Transaction type as payee label
`id`	`txn_1AbcXYZ123def`	→	`Reference`	`txn_1AbcXYZ123def`	Balance transaction ID for audit trail

Data Transformation

Each charge/refund becomes 1-2 rows (gross + optional fee)

Single ledger entry with gross, fee, and net

Key columns: id, Type, Amount, Fee

1:N — One input row creates multiple output rows

Gross amount row + fee row (if fee > 0)

Why Stripe Exports Don't Import to Xero Directly

Format Mismatch

Stripe exports data in its own format — UTC timestamps, lowercase currency codes, and single-row transactions that combine gross amounts and fees. Xero expects regional dates, uppercase currencies, and prefers gross/fee separation for proper accounting.

What We Convert

- **Balance Transactions** → Xero Bank Statement (with fee splitting) - **Payments/Charges** → Xero Bank Statement (simple) - **Invoices** → Xero Sales Invoices - **Customers** → Xero Contacts Each conversion handles the format differences automatically.

Common Bank Statement Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Balance Transactions Export data to Bank Statement - and how we solve them

Date Format Mismatch

Xero may reject dates in wrong regional format

Select your Xero organization's region in options

Re-process with correct region setting

Payout Duplication

Including payouts creates duplicates with bank feed

Payouts are excluded by default (appear in real bank)

Reconcile payouts against actual bank deposits

Fee Sign Convention

Fees must be negative (money paid out)

We automatically convert fees to negative amounts

Verify fee rows show negative in Amount column

Frequently Asked Questions

For comprehensive accounting with fee tracking, use Balance Transactions. For simple payment records, use Payments. For AR/invoicing, use Invoices. Import Customers first if you'll be importing invoices.

Balance Transactions is Stripe's complete ledger — all charges, refunds, disputes, and fees. Payments is just the charge records. Balance Transactions with fee splitting is recommended for proper accounting.

Only if you're importing invoices. For bank statement imports, customer names are included in the transaction description. For invoice imports, the customer must exist in Xero first.
