How People Use This

Braintree settlement exports sometimes include voided transactions mixed in with settled ones. The validator caught 6 voided entries in last week's batch that would have overstated our deposit by $2,100 if imported to QuickBooks. A 10-second pre-flight check saved hours of reconciliation.

I was burned by a Braintree export where 15 transactions had blank Status fields — QuickBooks imported them as completed sales. Now I validate every file. The tool verified 2,800 transactions last month and flagged 4 rows with missing Transaction IDs and 2 with invalid timestamps.

Our checkout flow generates both sale and credit transaction types. Before I discovered this validator, a batch with malformed refund amounts threw off our revenue reporting by $3,600. Now every export gets checked — the tool verifies amounts, statuses, and date formats row by row.

Omar H.
E-commerce Manager · processes 900 Braintree transactions/week

We exported 18 months of Braintree transaction history for migration and the validator found 43 rows with settlement date formatting issues and 8 with amount rounding errors. Catching those before the migration prevented data integrity problems in our new system.

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.
