Tips and tricks on the Stripe integration

Note 1. Synder does not support connecting of Stripe Express accounts at the moment.

Note 2. Synder parses financial paydowns, adjustments, transfers – almost every transaction type from Stripe.

Note 3. Stripe payments made in the test mode will not show up in Synder. Syncing your live data from Stripe with Synder you will always have an option to undo any action and the software will skip all the duplicates if you try to sync the same data twice.

Note 4. If your Stripe is linked to an e-Commerce store, connect both your Stripe and e-Commerce account to get all order and payment details synced to your books.

Bravo, you have set up the integration between Stripe and Synder! If you feel like some adjustments are necessary, you can manage that in Synder settings. Open them on the left menu → hit the Configure button under your Stripe platform. If you need to fill in gaps with missing data after the sync into your QuickBooks Online, like applying classes or locations to transactions, the Smart Rules feature will be of great service. Now, you can customize your Synder according to your needs.

    Hello Pat,
    Stripe net amounts must be payouts. Synder syncs both your payouts and your sales with fees. So after syncing them all, you can reconcile your Stripe account with the clearing account in QBO, where we sync your sales, fees and payouts.
    Also, please contact our support team via online chat or support email and after checking your account we will be able to provide you with the solution. We are always ready to help!
