How People Use This

Authorize.Net deposits in AUD but reports in USD transaction amounts. Xero's bank feed shows the AUD deposit, while the gateway report shows USD totals. Every reconciliation had $0.50-$2.00 rounding variances from currency conversion. The tool reformats with settlement-date amounts that match the actual bank deposit, eliminating the FX noise.

Xero BAS Agent · 10 Australian SMB clients

Authorize.Net's batch cut-off time meant Friday afternoon transactions wouldn't settle until Monday. My Xero bank reconciliation always had a gap at month-end because the last batch of the month deposited in the next month. Now I reconcile by settlement date instead of transaction date and the month-end close is clean.

Brandon K.
Freelance Bookkeeper · 3 e-commerce clients using Authorize.Net

A client had 14 unmatched transactions in Xero spanning three months. They were all authorization holds that Authorize.Net voided but never settled — so there was no bank deposit to match against. The tool filters to settled-only transactions, which stopped the phantom entries from cluttering the reconciliation queue.

Susan T.
Practice Manager, Accounting Firm · 25+ Xero clients with payment gateways

I never understood why my Authorize.Net statement showed $4,200 in sales but my bank only received $3,980. The $220 difference was processing fees deducted before deposit, but Xero had no record of the fees because I was only importing the bank feed. The reconciliation file now includes fee lines so everything balances in my clearing account.

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.
