How People Use This

Our Stripe payouts never matched our bank deposits because of batched settlements and fee deductions. Setting up the clearing account integration fixed our bank reconciliation completely. Each payout now creates a clean transfer entry that matches the deposit to the penny.

Most of my clients already import Stripe sales receipts to a clearing account, but none of them had the second half of the workflow -- matching payouts to the bank. This tool completes the Stripe QuickBooks payout integration so the clearing account actually zeroes out each period.

We run multiple Stripe accounts for different product lines, all feeding into one QuickBooks file. The clearing account workflow keeps each brand's payout reconciliation separate. I export payouts monthly and the journal entries match our bank statement deposits exactly.

Integration Questions Answered

When should I use this vs the main Stripe→QuickBooks tool?

Use this if you're following a clearing account workflow where Sales Receipts go to a clearing account first. The main tool handles everything in one step.

What's a clearing account?

An Other Current Asset account (like 'Stripe Clearing') that holds funds between when you make a sale and when Stripe deposits to your bank. It represents money Stripe owes you.

Why skip in-transit payouts?

In-transit payouts haven't hit your bank yet. Recording them prematurely would cause your bank reconciliation to be off. Wait until status is 'paid'.

The Clearing Account Workflow

Phase 1: Sales to Clearing

When you import Stripe Sales Receipts, they deposit to "Stripe Clearing" (an Other Current Asset account). This represents money Stripe owes you but hasn't transferred yet. To connect Stripe payouts to QuickBooks properly, you need both phases of this workflow.

Phase 2: Clearing to Bank

When Stripe actually sends you a payout, this tool creates a transfer: - DEBIT: Checking Account (money arrives) - CREDIT: Stripe Clearing (clears the pending balance) Now your bank reconciliation works perfectly - each payout matches a bank deposit.

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.

In-transit payouts haven't hit your bank yet. Recording them prematurely would cause your bank reconciliation to be off. Wait until status is 'paid'.

Yes. Create an 'Other Current Asset' account called 'Stripe Clearing Account' (or your chosen name) in QuickBooks before importing.

Record Stripe fees as a separate expense in the Merchant Fees category. You can use the Resolve Difference feature or create a bank deposit entry deducting fees from the net payout amount.

Stripe offers daily, weekly, monthly, or manual payout schedules. You can configure your preferred schedule in Stripe settings, and payouts are deposited net of fees.

Stripe deducts processing fees from the gross amount before depositing. Reconcile by recording gross sales, then separately tracking fees as expenses to match the net deposit.

Yes, using third-party tools like Synder, Acodei, or PayTraQer that automatically import Stripe transactions and itemize gross payments and fees for each transaction.

Log into Stripe, click Balances, then select the Payouts tab. Each payout summary shows charges, refunds, adjustments, and fees for reconciliation purposes.

Group individual Stripe transactions to match the single payout deposited into your bank account. A clearing account simplifies this by holding funds before they're transferred.

Export your payouts CSV from Stripe Dashboard (Balances → Payouts → Export), upload to our converter to create clearing account transfer entries, then import into QuickBooks. Each entry debits your bank and credits the clearing account.
