Stripe Payments → Xero Integration Questions

What's the difference between this and Balance Transactions?

Payments export shows only charge records. Balance Transactions is the complete ledger including refunds, disputes, and payouts. For comprehensive accounting, use Balance Transactions.

Should I use net or gross amounts?

Gross amounts with fee splitting is recommended for proper accounting. Net amounts are simpler but understate both revenue and expenses.

How are Stripe fees recorded in Xero?

Stripe fees are automatically captured in a separate Stripe Fees account during reconciliation. They're classified as operating expenses and appear as separate line items.

We track vendor payments through Stripe and need them reflected in Xero for our own books. The Stripe Xero integration maps each charge to a bank statement row with the customer name, so we can see exactly who paid and reconcile against our bank feed.
