Stripe payment exports occasionally have null values in the 'customer' field for one-off charges. Our accounting system treats those as anonymous transactions and skips them during reconciliation. The validator flags every null customer row so we can match them manually before import.

Common Target Import Errors
Issues you might encounter when importing Source data to Target - and how we solve them
Missing Payment ID
The 'id' column (charge ID like ch_xxx) is required but not found
File exported without 'id' column
ch_1A2B3C4D5E6F7G
Ensure you export with the charge ID column included
Re-export from Stripe Dashboard → Payments → Export
Invalid Payment Amount
The 'Amount' column contains non-numeric values
pending or N/A
1500 (in cents) or 15.00
Stripe exports amounts in cents; ensure no modifications
Check if data was modified after export
Unknown Payment Status
The 'Status' value is not a recognized Stripe payment status
completed or approved
succeeded, pending, failed
Only Stripe's standard status values are valid
Ensure you're using unmodified Stripe export
Missing Created Date
The 'Created (UTC)' timestamp is required for each payment
(blank date column)
2025-01-15 10:30:00
Every payment should have a creation timestamp
Re-export from Stripe ensuring all columns included
Why Validate Payment Data?
Payment Export Accuracy
Stripe payment exports must have correct IDs and amounts for reconciliation.
Missing or malformed columns cause conversion failures.
What This Tool Checks
We validate your Stripe payments export:
- Required columns present (id, Created, Amount)
- Charge IDs follow expected format
- Currency amounts are valid
How People Use Stripe Payments
We had a batch where 38 rows had balance transaction types listed as 'charge' but the Amount and Fee columns were swapped. The Net column didn't equal Amount minus Fee on any of them. The validator caught every mismatch before we pushed the file to NetSuite. That would have been a week of journal entry corrections.
After a Stripe API migration, our exports started returning ch_ IDs with truncated suffixes on about 5% of rows. The status column also had mixed casing, 'Succeeded' vs 'succeeded', which broke our status filter downstream. The validator flagged both issues with exact row numbers so engineering could patch the export script the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Required columns are id (charge ID) and Created (UTC). Amount is also typically required.
Valid status values are succeeded, pending, and failed.
You can preview Stripe Payments validation results for free — no signup needed. Full validation reports use credits based on row count.
Amount mismatches occur from currency conversions, tax adjustments, fees, or manual record edits. Verify that the transaction amount in your CSV exactly matches Stripe's records before validation.
Duplicate errors happen when the same transaction is submitted twice. Use Stripe's idempotency keys to prevent this, or check your Dashboard for existing charges before resubmitting transactions.
Charge IDs appear only after payment confirmation attempts. If missing, the payment may be pending or failed. Check Stripe Dashboard for the transaction status and retrieve the ID from the failed payment details.
Export your CSV from Stripe, manually review the first batch of transactions, verify column mappings are correct, and leave Auto Sync off until you confirm data accuracy.
Key columns include Created Date, Amount, Amount Refunded, Status, Charge ID, Fee, and Description. Always verify Status is 'Succeeded' and amounts match your records.
Transactions fail due to invalid amounts, missing charge IDs, duplicate entries, or status mismatches. Filter for 'Succeeded' status and ensure all required fields are populated in your CSV.
Validate data immediately after export before importing to accounting software. Stripe processes daily reports at 12:00 PM, so export and validate the same day for accuracy.
