Stripe Balance Validation Questions

How do I export my Stripe balance history?

How People Use Stripe Balance
Fourteen balance transactions had Source IDs pointing to charge objects that didn't exist anywhere else in the export — orphaned references from test-mode charges that leaked into the live export. The validator's referential integrity check caught every one before I fed the file to our ERP.
I merged three months of balance exports and found that Amount plus Fee didn't equal Net on 83 rows. Turned out one export used cents (integer amounts) while the others used dollars with decimals. The precision mismatch would have thrown off our entire reconciliation if the validator hadn't flagged it.
A client's export had 'Charge', 'charge', and 'CHARGE' in the Type column — Stripe's API is case-sensitive, but the CSV had been hand-edited. The validator flagged all 29 non-standard type values so we could normalize them before importing. Inconsistent naming like that silently breaks category filters.
Why Validate Balance Data?
Ledger Accuracy
Balance transactions are your complete Stripe ledger. Missing IDs or incorrect types
cause reconciliation failures.
What This Tool Checks
We validate your Stripe balance export:
- Required columns present (id, Type, Created, Amount)
- Transaction IDs follow expected format
- Type values are valid
Your Stripe Balance Data Stays Private
Local Processing Engine
Your Stripe Balance files stay on your device. Processing happens client-side, nothing leaves your machine.
Zero Server Storage
Your Stripe Balance files are never cached, logged, or stored anywhere. Every session is ephemeral.
Privacy-First Architecture
Designed for data sovereignty. No third-party trackers or analytics touch your Stripe Balance files.
Common Target Import Errors
Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them
Missing Transaction ID
The 'id' column (txn_xxx) is required but not found
File without 'id' column
txn_1A2B3C4D5E6F7G
Balance transaction ID is essential for reconciliation
Re-export from Stripe Dashboard → Balance → Export
Unknown Transaction Type
The 'Type' value is not a recognized Stripe balance transaction type
sale or deposit
charge, refund, payout, adjustment, fee
Only Stripe's standard transaction types are valid
Check if data was modified after export
Missing Net Amount
The 'Net' column showing net amount after fees is missing
(blank or missing Net column)
1425 (gross minus fees, in cents)
Net amount is crucial for accurate accounting
Re-export ensuring all balance columns included
Amount Calculation Error
Gross - Fee ≠ Net (amounts don't reconcile)
Gross: 1500, Fee: 75, Net: 1400 (incorrect)
Gross: 1500, Fee: 75, Net: 1425 (correct)
Balance transaction amounts should be mathematically consistent
Check for data corruption or manual modifications
