Stripe to QuickBooks. Reconciled, Explained, Done.
Per-transaction sync of Stripe charges, refunds, fees, and payouts into QuickBooks Online — and an assistant that explains any entry when you ask, so your books match your bank.
Buy credits, sync transactions, top up when you run out. No monthly subscription. USD only.
Connects Stripe QuickBooks Online
The problem, in one sentence.
You take payments through Stripe. Your books live in QuickBooks Online. The gap between them is where bookkeepers lose hours every month.
Existing sync tools (Synder, A2X, Bookkeep) try to do everything — Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, Square, Amazon, in any currency. The result: bloated setup, opaque mapping rules, monthly subscriptions you pay even when you barely transact, and reconciliation reports nobody can explain.
The actual job is simple: every Stripe payout should land in QBO as a deposit, with the right charges, fees, and refunds backing it out. But the edge cases (partial refunds, application fees, ACH timing, disputed charges) silently break, and most tools just hide them.
Reconciled books in three steps
2 · Connect QuickBooks
Link your QuickBooks Online company the same way, then pick which accounts hold cash, clearing, fees, and income. Four choices, made once.
3 · Sync and reconcile
Run a free dry run to preview, then sync. Every payout posts gross sales, fees, and a clearing deposit that ties to your bank to the cent.
Core Features
Engineered for Accuracy
Every tool is designed to eliminate the friction between finishing work and getting paid.
Credits, Not Subscriptions
Buy a bundle of sync credits. One credit syncs one Stripe transaction into QuickBooks. Credits never expire. No monthly fee, no per-seat fee, no annual contract — when credits run out, sync pauses until you top up.
Ask About Any Sync
A built-in assistant reads your real Stripe and QuickBooks data — read-only — and explains what posted and why. Paste a payout or charge id and ask why a deposit is short, what a fee covers, or why an entry errored. Answers in plain English, grounded in your actual books.
Preview Before You Spend
Every sync has a free dry run: walk the exact same analysis without posting to QuickBooks or spending a credit. See what would post and what's already synced. Runs are oldest-first and idempotent — re-run after an interruption and nothing double-posts.
Every Deposit Ties Out
Gross sales post to income, Stripe fees post as expenses, and each payout lands as a QuickBooks deposit through a clearing account — so the deposit equals your bank statement to the cent. No net-only shortcuts that hide your true processing costs.
Stripe → QuickBooks, Nothing Else
We do one thing. No Shopify, no PayPal, no multi-platform mapping config. Setup is two connections and four accounts — connect Stripe and QuickBooks, pick which accounts hold cash, clearing, fees and income, and you're syncing.
USD First, Honestly Scoped
USD-only on purpose. Multi-currency is where 80% of sync bugs hide. We'd rather do one currency right than four currencies badly.
How Stripe-to-QuickBooks Sync Actually Works
Most people think Stripe→QBO sync means "create a QBO transaction every time someone pays." It doesn't, and that's why naive integrations break.
Stripe charges money on a per-transaction basis but pays you out in batches (typically every 2 business days for new accounts, daily for established ones). Between the charge and the payout, Stripe deducts processing fees and any refunds. Your bank sees one deposit; QuickBooks needs to know what's inside that deposit.
Your books, handled safely
Will you have access to my money?
No. S2Q reads and writes accounting records only. It never moves funds, never touches your Stripe balance, and never initiates a payout or transfer.
Read the full security overview →Do I have to hand over my logins?
No. S2Q never sees your Stripe or QuickBooks password. QuickBooks connects through official OAuth, so we hold a revocable token, not credentials. Stripe connects with an API key you paste, encrypted in your browser before it leaves your device, and a restricted, read-only key is all it needs, so S2Q simply cannot move money. Disconnect or revoke either side at any time.
Can I see what will happen before it posts?
Yes. Every sync has a free dry run that walks the exact same analysis without posting to QuickBooks or spending a credit.
What if a sync is interrupted?
Runs are oldest-first and idempotent. Re-run after any interruption and nothing double-posts, because already-synced transactions are skipped.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the platform.
How is S2Q different from Synder, A2X, or Bookkeep?
S2Q is intentionally narrower. We only sync Stripe to QuickBooks Online, only in USD, sold as credit bundles instead of monthly subscriptions. Existing tools price for the broad case (multi-platform, multi-currency, per-seat). If your needs match ours, you'll pay less and onboard faster. If you need Shopify or multi-currency support, use one of the bigger tools.
How does the credit system work?
You buy a bundle of sync credits up front. One credit syncs one Stripe transaction (charge, refund, fee, or payout line) into QuickBooks. Credits never expire. When your balance reaches zero, sync pauses — your account stays connected, your data stays in place, and you can top up at any time to resume. Bundles: 100 credits / $10, 1,000 / $50, 10,000 / $150 — bigger bundles cost less per transaction.
Do you support multi-currency?
Not yet. S2Q v1 handles USD only. Multi-currency Stripe accounts have a different payout structure (FX gain/loss accounts, payout date vs. transaction date) and we'd rather not ship it broken. Multi-currency support is on the roadmap.
What QuickBooks plan do I need?
QuickBooks Online Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, or Advanced — all four are supported. You'll connect via Intuit's OAuth flow. QuickBooks Desktop is not supported and won't be.
How are Stripe fees handled?
Stripe fees post to QuickBooks as expenses, and you choose how granular to get. Per-transaction processing fees map to one account you pick, either a Cost of Goods Sold account to keep gross margin true or an operating expense account, whichever your books use. From there you can optionally give each fee type its own account: dispute and chargeback fees, platform fees (Billing, Radar, Tax, Terminal, and monthly fees), sales tax on fees, and fee credits or waivers, which post as a contra-expense. Anything you leave unmapped falls back to your main processing-fees account, so setup is as simple or as detailed as you want. Every payout keeps line-item fee detail for audit.
What about refunds and disputes?
Refunds reverse the original charge in QBO. Disputes (chargebacks) book to a separate account so you can see them clearly. If a disputed charge is later resolved in your favor, the reversal is booked when Stripe credits you back.
What happens if a sync fails?
You get an explanation, not just an error. S2Q logs every sync attempt, so you can see exactly what didn't map and why. Syncs are idempotent — re-run once the underlying issue is fixed and nothing already-posted is duplicated.
Can I preview a sync before spending credits?
Yes. Every sync has a free dry run — it walks the exact same analysis and shows what would post to QuickBooks and what's already synced, without posting anything or spending a credit. Use it to check a backfill or sanity-check a payout before you commit.
How does the AI assistant help?
A built-in chat assistant reads your real Stripe and QuickBooks data — strictly read-only — and answers questions in plain English. Paste a payout or charge id and ask why a deposit is short of your bank total, what a fee covers, what a charge posted to QuickBooks, or why an entry errored. Each account gets a free monthly allowance of AI messages; beyond that, they draw from your credits.
How do I get started?
Connect Stripe (a read-only key) and QuickBooks (Intuit OAuth), pick which accounts hold cash, clearing, fees and income, then sync your first payout — oldest first. The whole setup takes a few minutes, and you can dry-run before spending a single credit.
