Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which Stripe report should I export?
The “Balance change from activity” report, itemized, from Reports → Balance. It includes gross, fees, net, and payouts. The Payments export doesn't include payouts or fee breakdowns, so it cannot be reconciled.
2. Is my data uploaded to your server?
No. The file is parsed and converted completely in your browser. Our server only records that a conversion happened (row count and date range) so we can count credits.
3. Why split fees into separate lines?
So your Profit & Loss statement shows true gross revenue and your Stripe processing fees as an operating expense. Recording only net bank deposits understates both revenue and expenses.
4. Where do I import it in QuickBooks?
We recommend creating a bank-type account in QuickBooks Online called “Stripe Clearing”, then going to Banking → Upload transactions → choose that account. Categorize Stripe payouts as transfers to your real business bank account.
5. What if my file has more than 1,000 rows?
QuickBooks has a 1,000-row limit on CSV imports. We split large files automatically into import-ready parts (e.g. part1of3.csv) and package them in a ZIP with a README.txt showing the exact import order.
6. Does it work with QuickBooks Desktop?
It is specifically built and formatted for QuickBooks Online. Many QuickBooks Desktop users import standard CSV files, but we don't officially support Desktop IIF files yet.
7. Can I convert multiple currencies?
Yes, pick one currency per conversion. In QuickBooks, each bank account holds a single currency.
8. What is your refund policy?
If the conversion fails or your file does not import into QuickBooks, email us at support@getpayoutprep.com within 14 days for a full, no-questions-asked refund.
