How People Use This

We tried Synder and Amaka for our Stripe Xero integration. Both broke during token refreshes at the worst possible time — month-end. Switching to file-based integration means I see exactly what goes into Xero before it gets there. Fee splitting works identically to what A2X produces, without the subscription.

Half my clients use Stripe with Xero. Setting up API integrations for each one meant juggling OAuth tokens, troubleshooting sync errors, and justifying $30/month per client. Now I export balance transactions from Stripe, convert with fee extraction, and import to Xero. Same accounting quality, fraction of the cost.

We needed to backfill 18 months of Stripe data into Xero after switching from QuickBooks. Every API-based integration capped historical access at 90 days. This tool let us integrate the entire history with proper fee splitting in one afternoon. Our auditor was impressed with the ledger quality.

Stripe bookkeeping for multiple stores used to mean reconciling net amounts and guessing at fees. The gross revenue plus separate fee rows approach gives me a real P&L for each store. I integrate weekly and my Xero clearing account balances every time.

Integration Questions Answered

How does this compare to Synder or Amaka?

We produce the same accounting output — gross revenue with separate fee entries. The difference is we use file-based processing instead of API sync. You get more control, no subscription fees, and no sync failures.

What is 'fee splitting' and why is it important?

Fee splitting records Stripe charges at gross value (what the customer paid) and Stripe fees as separate expenses. This is required for accurate P&L reporting. Recording only net amounts understates both revenue and expenses.

Can I integrate historical Stripe data?

Yes! Unlike API-based tools that often limit historical access, you can export and integrate any date range from Stripe. Perfect for setting up a new Xero organization or catching up on past months.

Integration Without the Integration App

What Traditional Integrations Get Wrong

API-based integrations like Synder, Amaka, and the native Xero feed share common problems: sync failures when tokens expire, limited historical access (often 90 days max), monthly subscriptions that add up, and black box processing where you can't see what's being imported.

The File-Based Advantage

Our approach delivers identical accounting results: export any date range from Stripe, see exactly what will be imported, no subscription fees, and no sync failures. Same professional methodology as premium tools — gross reporting, fee extraction, clearing account workflow, and audit trail — all without the integration complexity.

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.

Yes! Unlike API-based tools that often limit historical access, you can export and integrate any date range from Stripe. Perfect for setting up a new Xero organization or catching up on past months.

Payouts (Stripe deposits to your bank) are excluded by default. They appear in your actual bank feed. The Stripe clearing account shows individual transactions; bank deposits show the aggregated payout amounts. This prevents duplication.

Refunds and disputes are included in the Balance Transactions export. They're converted with correct negative amounts and appear in your Xero statement ready for reconciliation.

Recommended but not required. Create a bank account called 'Stripe' in Xero. Import transactions there, then transfer payout amounts to your real bank when deposits arrive. This is the professional bookkeeping standard.

Stripe transactions typically appear in Xero 2-3 days after the payment is made. This delay is normal and accounts for Stripe's settlement processing time.

Duplicates occur when 'Sync Payments with Xero' is enabled while also using bank feeds. Disable this setting if you're using Stripe bank feeds instead.

Enable multi-currency in your Xero organization and ensure exchange rate settings match between both platforms to avoid reconciliation discrepancies.

Automatic reconciliation works with scheduled payouts and matches payments at 92% accuracy. Manual reconciliation is needed if you manage payouts manually using the 'Find & Match' feature.
