# Acodei > Automate your Stripe to QuickBooks integration. Sync payments, invoices, and payouts in real-time with Acodei. ## About Acodei Acodei is a SaaS platform that automates the integration between Stripe and QuickBooks Online. It syncs payments, invoices, refunds, fees, and payouts in real-time so finance teams can maintain accurate books without manual data entry. Acodei supports advanced features including multi-product mapping, automated invoice sync, class tracking for departmental reporting, and historical data imports. Multicurrency transactions with automatic exchange rates are supported as well, enabled by the Acodei team on request rather than self-serve. --- ## Features Feature index: https://www.acodei.com/features ### Stripe to QuickBooks Integration Automatically sync Stripe payments, fees, refunds, and payouts to QuickBooks Online. Real-time, accurate, and audit-ready. No manual exports, no spreadsheets. **Key benefits:** - Real-time payment and payout sync: Post sales receipts, refunds, and payout transfers as they occur so cash movement in Stripe matches your QuickBooks bank and clearing accounts. - Stripe fees and adjustments handled: Capture processing fees, disputes, and balance transactions with consistent mapping so margin and expense reporting stays accurate through busy periods. - Customer and invoice alignment: Keep Stripe customers and invoices in step with QuickBooks records to speed collections workflows and reduce duplicate or mismatched names. - Product and revenue categorization: Route charges to the correct QuickBooks products and services using rule-based mapping for subscriptions, one-time sales, and multi-SKU catalogs. - Multi-currency and global selling: Support foreign-currency charges and balances with exchange-rate-aware posting. Our team enables multicurrency for your account, and QuickBooks multicurrency has to be on at your end. - Historical backfill and audit-ready trails: Import prior Stripe periods when you switch tools or clean up the books, with a clear path from dashboard actions to posted QuickBooks activity. **Setup steps:** 1. Create your Acodei account and connect Stripe and QuickBooks Online with secure OAuth. 2. Review Account Mapping defaults for bank accounts, clearing accounts, and fee expense lines. 3. Configure product mapping or class rules if you need segmented revenue in QuickBooks. 4. Run a small live test (charge, refund, payout) and confirm balances before scaling volume. **FAQ:** Q: Does Acodei replace the Stripe–QuickBooks connector in QuickBooks? A: Acodei is a dedicated integration layer designed for granular mapping, fees, payouts, and advanced scenarios that basic connectors often skip or simplify. Q: Which QuickBooks editions are supported? A: Acodei targets QuickBooks Online. Confirm your edition and multicurrency settings with your implementation checklist before go-live. Q: How quickly do transactions appear in QuickBooks? A: Eligible activity syncs on a near real-time cadence depending on Stripe webhooks and queue health; high-volume accounts should still validate during onboarding.

Set rule priority and extend mapping to refunds and fees. **Key benefits:** - Map beyond one default product: Create specific rules using Stripe Product ID, Price ID, metadata, descriptions, transaction values, and Stripe account ID. - Keep control with rule priority: Acodei evaluates mappings top-to-bottom, so precise rules can override broad ones and avoid misclassified revenue. - Extend mapping to refunds and fees: Use the same mapping engine for sales, refunds, and Stripe fees to keep your QuickBooks data consistent and audit ready. - Sales tax lands where your books expect it: Tax that Stripe calculates comes across on the same sale, not as a separate reconciliation step. US QuickBooks companies map it to a single liability product, because QuickBooks does not let a third party create official sales-tax rates. Non-US companies map each Stripe tax rate to a QuickBooks tax code, group codes included. Both need Stripe Tax switched on in your Stripe account first. **Setup steps:** 1. Enable Multiple Product Mapping in Account Mapping inside your Acodei dashboard. 2. Create or confirm your Product/Service items in QuickBooks for each reporting category. 3. Add mapping rules by type, set criteria, select output products, and order rules from most specific to broadest. 4. Run small live tests and adjust priority to catch edge cases before scaling volume. **FAQ:** Q: Can I map subscription tiers separately? A: Yes. Mapping by Stripe Price ID is designed for monthly/annual or tiered pricing so each tier can post to its own QuickBooks product. Q: Does this work for multi-currency transactions? A: Yes, but value-based rules match by both amount and currency. A USD amount will not match an identical numeric value in another currency. Q: What happens when multiple rules could match? A: Only the first matching rule applies. Keep high-specificity rules at the top of the mapping list. Q: Does advanced mapping cover sales tax as well as products and fees? A: Yes, if Stripe Tax is switched on in your Stripe account. Tax is configured in the same Account Mapping screen as your product and fee rules. In US QuickBooks companies the tax total posts to one liability product; non-US companies map each Stripe tax rate to a QuickBooks tax code. Without Stripe Tax on the Stripe side there is nothing for Acodei to read, and non-US companies can have tax applied in QuickBooks after the fact instead, which our team enables.

Open Account Mapping in Acodei and enable Stripe Invoices under Invoice Sync. 2. Select your invoice behavior options and save changes. 3. Validate customer naming consistency between Stripe and QuickBooks. 4. Test one invoice lifecycle (invoice, payment, refund) before scaling to production volume. **FAQ:** Q: Can I sync payments to invoices already created in QuickBooks? A: Yes, with the backend option enabled by Acodei support. Payment receipts can then be created from Stripe payments for manual matching. Q: How do invoice number conflicts get handled? A: Suffixes can be enabled to avoid duplicate number collisions when QuickBooks manual invoices are created alongside synced Stripe invoices. Q: Does invoice sync replace core Acodei syncing features? A: No. Core customer, product, and fee functionality remains available with Invoice Sync enabled. Full page: https://www.acodei.com/features/automated-invoice-sync Documentation: https://docs.acodei.com/docs/invoices/ --- ### Multi-Currency Mastery Sync Stripe transactions across currencies with automatic exchange rate handling and currency-specific customer records. Our team enables multicurrency on request, and zero-decimal currencies such as JPY are not supported. **Key benefits:** - Support for real global payment patterns: Acodei supports multicurrency QuickBooks posting using Stripe balances and proper account setup for each payout currency. Our team enables it for your account on request. - Reliable exchange-rate behavior: Rates come from Stripe at payment time when available, with QuickBooks daily rates as fallback for robust posting. - Optional invoice-level multicurrency: For teams invoicing in foreign currencies, invoice multicurrency mode improves accuracy from invoice through settlement. **Setup steps:** 1. Enable multicurrency in QuickBooks and confirm your home currency. 2. Set up Stripe balances for currencies you hold or plan to auto-convert. 3. Create matching bank and clearing accounts in QuickBooks for each payout currency. 4. Ask Acodei support to enable multicurrency support and test each currency with a small transaction. **FAQ:** Q: Can I use Undeposited Funds as my holding account? A: No. Acodei multicurrency requires a non-Undeposited Funds clearing account to avoid duplicate customer records and exchange-rate issues. Q: Are all currencies supported today? A: Zero-decimal currencies like JPY are not currently supported in this workflow. Q: Will one customer appear multiple times in QuickBooks? A: Yes, potentially. QuickBooks requires separate customer records per currency, such as customer name and customer name with currency suffix. Full page: https://www.acodei.com/features/multi-currency-mastery Documentation: https://docs.acodei.com/docs/currency-conversion-and-multicurrency/ --- ### Class Mapping Map Stripe products to QuickBooks classes for scalable categorization and multi-entity reporting. Class tracking requires QuickBooks Online Plus or Advanced. **Key benefits:** - Class-aware posting in QuickBooks: Acodei adds classes to synced sales receipts and invoices so category-level reporting is easier and more reliable. - Works with multi-product mapping: Class Tracking complements product mapping to support detailed product-class combinations across your catalog. - Built for scalable bookkeeping structure: Set up combinations once and reduce spreadsheet-based recategorization later in the close process. **Setup steps:** 1. Enable Class Tracking from the Account Mapping module in Acodei. 2. Create the needed product and class combinations in QuickBooks. 3. Configure product mapping rules that route to the intended class-linked outputs. 4. Validate one end-to-end transaction and verify class visibility on receipts and invoices. **FAQ:** Q: Which QuickBooks Online plan do I need for class mapping? A: Class tracking is available on QuickBooks Online Plus and Advanced. Simple Start and Essentials don't support classes, so you'll need one of those higher plans (with class tracking turned on) for Acodei to map Stripe products to QuickBooks classes. Q: Do I need separate QuickBooks items for each product-class combination? A: Yes. In advanced setups, each meaningful product-class combination should exist so mapping can produce consistent reporting outputs. Q: Can I use Class Tracking without multiple product mapping? A: Yes for basic defaults, but pairing it with product mapping unlocks much finer control over categorization. Q: Where should I start if my chart is already messy? A: Start with a small number of high-value classes, map top transaction paths first, and expand once results are consistent. Full page: https://www.acodei.com/features/class-mapping Documentation: https://docs.acodei.com/docs/class-mapping/ --- ### Historical Data Import Backfill historical Stripe data into QuickBooks by month range. Preview volume and cost before syncing so reporting starts from a complete baseline. **Key benefits:** - Fast month-range backfill: Pull historic periods from your dashboard without rebuilding old data manually in QuickBooks. - Pricing transparency before import: Review transaction volume and import cost before approval so finance teams can plan backfill work with fewer surprises. - Cleaner migration and onboarding: Historical imports help teams avoid partial records when moving from manual processes or another integration approach. **Setup steps:** 1. Open Historic Data from the Acodei dashboard sidebar. 2. Click Pull Historic Data and select a month or month range. 3. Review projected transaction volume and import pricing. 4. Approve to start processing and monitor synced results in QuickBooks. **FAQ:** Q: Do historical imports cost extra? A: Historical imports use historical-data credits. Annual plans include an allowance of them, sized to your tier; on monthly billing, historical pulls are billed separately. Before a pull starts you see the projected transaction volume and the credit cost for the month range you selected, and you approve it before anything runs. Q: Can I request only specific days from the past? A: No. Historical pulls currently support month-based ranges, not individual day selection. Q: Will I be charged for data that has already synced? A: No. Already-synced periods are not charged again according to Acodei guidance. Q: Can the same month be requested multiple times? A: Not by default. If you need a re-import for the same month, contact Acodei support.

Acodei links both accounts with secure OAuth and syncs payments, fees, refunds, and payouts automatically. **Key benefits:** - No developer required: Connecting Stripe and QuickBooks is a guided, click-through setup. No API keys to manage, no Zapier recipes to babysit, no custom code. - Everything syncs, not just sales: Basic connectors move sales totals. Acodei also posts Stripe fees, refunds, disputes, and payout transfers so your bank feed matches to the penny. - Payouts matched to bank deposits: Each Stripe payout is posted so it matches the deposit that lands in your bank account, which makes reconciliation a check-the-box exercise. - Backfill before you connect going forward: Import prior months of Stripe history so the books are complete from day one, not just from the day you connected. **Setup steps:** 1. Create your Acodei account. It takes about a minute. 2. Connect Stripe with secure OAuth (read access; Acodei never touches your payment flow). 3. Connect QuickBooks Online and confirm the default account mapping. 4. Watch your first charges, fees, and payouts appear in QuickBooks automatically. **FAQ:** Q: Does Stripe integrate with QuickBooks? A: Yes. Stripe and QuickBooks Online connect through integration tools like Acodei, which syncs payments, fees, refunds, and payouts automatically. QuickBooks has a basic built-in option, but it simplifies fees and payouts in ways that make reconciliation harder. Q: How long does it take to connect Stripe to QuickBooks? A: Most businesses are fully connected and syncing in under 15 minutes: create an account, authorize Stripe and QuickBooks via OAuth, and review the default mapping. Q: Do I need QuickBooks Online or does Desktop work? A: Acodei supports QuickBooks Online only. QuickBooks Desktop is not supported. Q: Can I import Stripe transactions from before I connected? A: Yes. Acodei can backfill prior months of Stripe history so your books are complete, not just current. Full page: https://www.acodei.com/features/connect-stripe-to-quickbooks Documentation: https://docs.acodei.com/ --- ### Reconcile Stripe Payments in QuickBooks Reconcile Stripe in QuickBooks Online automatically. Acodei splits out fees, matches payouts to deposits, and keeps every charge audit-ready. **Key benefits:** - Fees split out, not buried: Every Stripe processing fee posts to its own expense line, so gross revenue, fees, and net deposits each land where your chart of accounts expects them. - Payouts that match the bank feed: Each Stripe payout posts against the holding account that mirrors your Stripe balance: as a transfer for the net amount, or, if that account is Undeposited Funds, as a deposit itemizing the charges, refunds, and fees behind it. Either way the QuickBooks side is built to match the deposit your bank actually shows. - Synced records are not posted twice: With duplicate protection on, Acodei writes its own transaction id onto each QuickBooks record, so a charge it already synced collides instead of posting twice. It covers what Acodei wrote, not your whole QuickBooks file: a hand-keyed receipt, or a payout added from the bank feed instead of matched, sits outside it. - Refunds, disputes, and partial payouts handled: Offsetting activity is posted with the right sign and date, so the clearing account zeroes out instead of drifting month after month. - Built for bookkeepers and accountants: Manage multiple clients on Stripe with consistent mapping, clean audit trails, and books that are reconciliation-ready at close, not after a day of cleanup. - Subscription revenue reconciled monthly: Recurring Stripe charges post consistently every cycle, so monthly subscription revenue in QuickBooks matches what Stripe actually collected. **Setup steps:** 1. Connect Stripe and QuickBooks Online with secure OAuth. 2. Confirm the clearing account, bank account, and fee expense mapping. 3. Let Acodei post charges, fees, refunds, and payouts as they happen. 4. At close, match payouts to deposits in the QuickBooks bank feed. They already agree. **FAQ:** Q: How do I reconcile Stripe payments in QuickBooks? A: Post gross charges, fees, and refunds to a holding account that mirrors your Stripe balance, then record each payout against it: as a transfer to your bank for the net amount, or as an itemized deposit if that holding account is Undeposited Funds. Acodei automates every step, so reconciliation becomes matching deposits that already agree with the bank feed. Q: Why don’t my Stripe deposits match my sales in QuickBooks? A: Stripe deducts processing fees and nets refunds before paying out, and a single payout often bundles several days of transactions. Reconciliation requires splitting those pieces apart, which is exactly what Acodei does automatically. Q: What about instant payouts and negative payouts? A: Both are handled, and both look different in the books. A negative payout, where refunds and disputes outweigh sales and Stripe pulls money back from your bank, posts as a transfer in the other direction: from the bank into the holding account, for the amount withdrawn. An instant payout is funded by Stripe up front and recouped from your next regular payout, and that recoup arrives as its own line against the account you map it to under Balance Transaction Mapping. The instant-payout fee lands on the daily balance summary with your other Stripe fees. Q: Can I reconcile past months of Stripe activity? A: Yes. Acodei can backfill historical Stripe data month by month, so you can clean up prior periods as well as keep current ones accurate. Q: Does this work for accountants managing multiple clients? A: Yes. Acodei is built for multi-client workflows, with consistent per-client mapping and accountant-friendly billing. Q: We run a Stripe Connect platform. How do application fees and transfers reconcile? A: Application fees, application fee refunds, transfers to connected accounts, and reserve movements each come across as their own balance-transaction line, bucketed by day and currency. You map each type to a QuickBooks account once in Balance Transaction Mapping, and those lines then land on the daily balance summary or on the payout, depending on your sync settings, instead of arriving as a lump sum you have to break down yourself. Which of the two you get is decided by your holding account: how the Undeposited Funds choice changes where these lines land.

Pricing, product mapping, payout reconciliation, and multi-platform support compared side by side. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if Stripe is your primary payment processor, you want a lower price point, you manage multiple Stripe accounts, or you need rule-based product mapping that matches on Stripe Product ID, Price ID, or metadata. When Synder wins: Choose Synder if you run revenue through multiple channels beyond Stripe (Shopify, PayPal, Amazon, Square) and need a single tool to consolidate all of them, or if you need built-in ASC 606 revenue recognition with deferred revenue schedules.

Rule-based product mapping, subscription billing, and reconciliation compared side by side. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if you want a reliable Stripe-to-QuickBooks sync with automatic reconciliation, rule-based product mapping that handles large catalogs, subscription billing support, and Zoom support with a 24-hour response Mon to Fri on the entry $12 per month plan. When PayTraQer wins: Choose PayTraQer if your primary requirement is syncing multiple payment processors (PayPal plus Stripe plus Square) into QuickBooks, and that breadth matters more to you than Stripe-specific sync reliability. Full comparison: https://www.acodei.com/vs/paytraqer ### Acodei vs QuickBooks Stripe Connector Compare Acodei to the free QuickBooks Stripe Connector (native Intuit app). See where the free tool falls short for growing Stripe businesses and when it is worth upgrading. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if you have more than a handful of Stripe products, multiple Stripe accounts, recurring revenue, international customers, any need for invoice sync, or any concern about being able to course-correct once transactions are in QuickBooks. When QuickBooks Stripe Connector wins: Use the free QuickBooks Stripe Connector only if you have a single Stripe account, a small number of products, very low volume (under ~50 transactions per month), simple domestic payments, no subscription billing, and no need for invoice sync. Past those limits, the free tool can create cleanup problems that cost more to fix than a paid integration would cost to avoid. Full comparison: https://www.acodei.com/vs/quickbooks-stripe-connector ### Acodei vs Webgility Acodei vs Webgility for syncing Stripe to QuickBooks: compare pricing, Stripe reconciliation depth, and order-based vs transaction-based sync. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if Stripe is your primary payment processor (Stripe Checkout, Payment Links, Stripe Billing, or a custom Stripe integration), you want transaction-level reconciliation tied to Stripe payouts, fees, refunds, and disputes, and you do not need inventory or multichannel ecommerce orchestration. When Webgility wins: Choose Webgility if you sell across multiple ecommerce channels (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, BigCommerce, eBay) and need one tool to consolidate orders, inventory, and accounting, or if you run on QuickBooks Desktop and need a sync that supports it.

When Commerce Sync wins: Choose Commerce Sync if you process payments across multiple platforms (Stripe, Square, Clover, Authorize.Net) and want one daily summary posted to QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, or Xero without transaction-level granularity, or if your books run on QuickBooks Desktop or Xero rather than QuickBooks Online. Full comparison: https://www.acodei.com/vs/commerce-sync ### Acodei vs Make Compare Acodei and Make (formerly Integromat) for syncing Stripe to QuickBooks Online. Purpose-built bookkeeping versus a build-it-yourself automation scenario. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if you want Stripe revenue, fees, refunds, and payouts posted correctly in QuickBooks without designing the accounting logic yourself, and without maintaining a custom workflow every time an edge case shows up. When Make wins: Choose Make if you already run other business automations on it and want Stripe and QuickBooks alongside dozens of other apps in one connected workflow, or if your sync needs are genuinely custom and you have the time to build and maintain the scenario. Full comparison: https://www.acodei.com/vs/make ### Acodei vs Bookkeep Compare Acodei and Bookkeep for Stripe to QuickBooks. Transaction-level sync vs summarized payout journal entries, pricing models, and platform support compared. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if Stripe is your primary payment processor and you want transaction-level books: every charge, fee, and refund recorded individually with full Stripe invoice sync, accurate Stripe Billing sync, unlimited Stripe accounts, and historical backfill with duplicate protection. When Bookkeep wins: Choose Bookkeep if you sell across many channels (Shopify, Amazon, Square, Toast, Clover) and want clean summarized accrual journal entries per payout for all of them, if your books run on Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, or Zoho Books rather than QuickBooks Online, or if you want a managed sales tax filing service alongside your accounting automation. Full comparison: https://www.acodei.com/vs/bookkeep ### Acodei vs Dext Commerce Compare Acodei and Dext Commerce for getting Stripe data into QuickBooks Online. Dedicated transaction-level sync vs a sales summary module inside the Dext bookkeeping suite. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if Stripe is your primary payment processor and QuickBooks Online should hold the full story: every charge, fee, refund, and payout recorded individually, Stripe invoices synced with line items, accurate Stripe Billing sync, automatic payout reconciliation through a clearing account, and historical backfill with duplicate protection. When Dext Commerce wins: Choose Dext Commerce if your practice or business already runs on Dext for receipt and invoice capture and you want sales data from up to 5 e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Stripe, PayPal, WooCommerce and more) summarized in the same workflow, or if your books run on Xero or Sage rather than QuickBooks Online. Full comparison: https://www.acodei.com/vs/dext-commerce ### Acodei vs sush.io Compare Acodei and sush.io for syncing Stripe to QuickBooks Online. Annual pricing, payout-grouped vs transaction-level sync, invoices, multicurrency, and reconciliation depth compared side by side. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if you need transaction-level detail rather than payout-grouped totals: Stripe invoices with line items, Stripe Billing subscriptions with prorated and retried payments, rule-based product mapping on Stripe Product ID or Price ID or metadata, class tracking, multicurrency payouts, or clean handling of disputes, holds, and reserves. When sush.io wins: Choose sush.io if you want the lowest possible price for a working Stripe to QuickBooks Online sync, your Stripe activity is straightforward flat-rate charges, you do not need invoice or subscription detail in QuickBooks, or you also run Etsy or Braintree and want them on the same subscription. Full comparison: https://www.acodei.com/vs/sushio ### Acodei vs Zapier Compare Acodei and Zapier for getting Stripe into QuickBooks Online. Task pricing, what Zapier's Stripe triggers cover, and why payout reconciliation is the dividing line. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if the outcome you need is books that tie: gross sales, Stripe fees, refunds, disputes, and a payout that reconciles against your bank feed through a clearing account, without you designing the accounting logic or paying per record synced. When Zapier wins: Choose Zapier if Stripe and QuickBooks are two nodes in a wider workflow that also touches Slack, a CRM, or fulfillment, if your volume is low enough to live inside a small task allowance, or if you want a specific one-off automation such as creating a QuickBooks customer when a Stripe customer is created. Full comparison: https://www.acodei.com/vs/zapier ### Acodei vs A2X Compare Acodei and A2X for getting Stripe revenue into QuickBooks Online. Direct Stripe sync vs marketplace settlement summaries, pricing, and when to use each. When Acodei wins: Choose Acodei if your revenue runs through Stripe itself: Stripe Billing subscriptions, Stripe invoices, Checkout, payment links, or Connect. A2X has no direct Stripe channel, so this side of your business is invisible to it. Acodei mirrors Stripe charges, fees, payouts, and invoices into QuickBooks Online from $12 per month. When A2X wins: Choose A2X if you sell on marketplaces and storefronts like Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, or Walmart, and want each settlement posted to QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or Sage as a clean, auto-categorized summary matched to the deposit. That is the job A2X has done since 2014, and it does not require direct Stripe support to do it.

Why a Stripe business can run for years without one, then acquire one overnight. Full page: https://www.acodei.com/glossary/accounts-receivable ### Bank Feed A QuickBooks bank feed downloads what your bank saw. For a Stripe business that is the payout, which is why Match and Add are not interchangeable. Full page: https://www.acodei.com/glossary/quickbooks-bank-feed ### Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue is cash collected before the work is done, which makes it a liability rather than income. What that means for Stripe billing in QuickBooks.

Why it is not a bookkeeping event, and what triggers a QuickBooks record.

Full page: https://www.acodei.com/use-cases/quickbooks-invoicing-stripe-payments ### Stripe invoicing with A/R in QuickBooks For businesses that raise every customer invoice in Stripe but need real Accounts Receivable, aging, and collections reporting inside QuickBooks Online rather than a pile of sales receipts. Full page: https://www.acodei.com/use-cases/stripe-invoicing-accounts-receivable ### Selling in several currencies For businesses charging customers in more than one currency who need a single QuickBooks Online file, in one home currency, that still reconciles to what Stripe actually paid them. Full page: https://www.acodei.com/use-cases/selling-in-multiple-currencies ### Switching from another sync tool For businesses already syncing Stripe into QuickBooks Online some other way, who want to move to Acodei without double-counting a year of revenue or discovering a structural setting too late to change it cheaply.

Sales, refunds, fees, and payouts are all synced automatically. You can also enable advanced features like multiple-product mapping and invoice syncing to add greater detail and control to your integration. See the full breakdown of our Stripe to QuickBooks sync. **Q: Can I customize Acodei's functionality?** If you need specific features implemented, we can explore building custom functionality for your business. For more information, visit https://docs.acodei.com/docs/adding-custom-features/ **Q: Do you offer training or onboarding support?** Yes, Acodei provides a range of self-serve resources to support your onboarding, including regularly updated guides, documentation at docs.acodei.com, and training videos. If you need additional assistance, feel free to reach out to us directly at support@acodei.com. We’re happy to help! **Q: How can I contact customer support?** You can contact Acodei’s support team by emailing support@acodei.com. We’re based in the United States and typically respond within 24 hours, Monday through Friday. ### Using Acodei's Stripe QuickBooks Online Integration Delve into the workings of Acodei, understand its features and functions, and learn how to make the most of this Stripe QuickBooks integration. **Q: How often do you sync data?** All Acodei plans sync data in real time. If your business processes more than 500 transactions per month, we recommend using the daily summary sync method. This approach consolidates each day's activity into a single summary entry instead of sending every individual transaction, which prevents your QuickBooks from being overloaded by extensive transaction data and optimizes performance without losing essential details. For more details, please see our Daily Summary documentation. If you'd like personalized assistance or further information about enabling this option, please contact us. We're here to help! Compare the two modes: daily summary vs real-time Stripe sync in QuickBooks. **Q: Is Acodei compatible with Stripe Connect?** Yes. Acodei is itself a Stripe Connect platform, and it also supports businesses that run their own. Connect activity reaches QuickBooks as balance-transaction lines: application fees, application fee refunds, transfers to connected accounts, and reserve movements are each bucketed by day and currency, and you choose the QuickBooks account each type posts to under Balance Transaction Mapping. To get started and learn more about this integration, please visit our Stripe Connect documentation. See how Connect activity reconciles against a payout. **Q: Do you support sales tax?** Yes, if Stripe Tax is switched on in your Stripe account. Stripe calculates and collects the tax, and Acodei carries those amounts into QuickBooks Online. Turn it on in Stripe first, then choose how it should land under Account Mapping in Acodei. In US QuickBooks companies tax posts as a single line item on a product mapped to a liability account, because QuickBooks does not let a third party create official sales-tax rates, and you file from Stripe's tax reports. Non-US companies can map each Stripe tax rate to a QuickBooks tax code instead. For detailed setup instructions and additional information, please visit our Sales Tax documentation. If you need further assistance, reach out to us at support@acodei.com. See what Stripe Tax is and how it reaches QuickBooks. **Q: Does Acodei handle Stripe Capital?** Yes. Once Acodei detects Capital activity on your account, Financing (Stripe Capital) appears under Balance Transaction Mapping and you map it to a product, which our docs suggest linking to a liability account. The part worth knowing up front: Stripe does not tell Acodei how much of each repayment is principal and how much is the fixed fee, so the repayment posts against that account in full. Our docs recommend a monthly, quarterly, or annual journal entry debiting the liability account and crediting interest or fee expense for the fee. The accounts to set up, the daily repayments and the month-end true-up are in our step-by-step Stripe Capital walkthrough. **Q: Can Acodei handle multi-currency transactions and accurately reflect them in QuickBooks?** Yes, with multicurrency enabled on your account. Acodei's team switches it on from our side when you ask, and QuickBooks Online needs its own multicurrency setting turned on too. Once it is on, foreign-currency sales post with exchange-rate handling and currency-specific customer records. Zero-decimal currencies such as JPY are not supported. See how multi-currency handling works, including its limits. **Q: Does Acodei offer an onboarding process?** Yes. After registering with Acodei and connecting your QuickBooks and Stripe accounts, you'll be guided through our onboarding process. This process includes our standard account mapping steps along with helpful tooltips and walkthroughs to answer common questions and make setup straightforward. **Q: Are there any transaction or data limits within Acodei, especially for businesses with high transaction volumes?** Yes. Acodei offers tiered plans with defined monthly transaction limits to fit businesses of all sizes. Scale Plans support between 100 and 5,000 transactions per month, with options such as Scale100 (100 transactions), Scale250 (250), and up to Scale5K (5,000). Enterprise Plans are designed for high-volume businesses, offering limits from 10,000 to 250,000 transactions per month. Each plan includes features and performance optimizations tailored to your transaction volume, ensuring smooth, reliable syncing. If you approach your plan’s transaction limit, Acodei will notify you by email. You’ll have a 3-day grace period to upgrade and automatically sync any pending transactions. If you don’t upgrade within that window, syncing pauses until the next billing cycle or until you purchase additional historical data to catch up. Transaction limits reset monthly based on your plan start date. For a full breakdown of pricing, limits, and features, visit our Detailed Pricing Documentation here: https://docs.acodei.com/docs/acodei-detailed-pricing/ Compare how transaction volume maps to plans. **Q: Is it possible to customize and map financial data fields from Stripe to specific accounts in QuickBooks?** Yes. Acodei supports configurable mappings for Stripe activity, including product, fee, tax, class, invoice, payout, and balance-account workflows. Paid plans include advanced product mapping, and Custom plans include hands-on support for more complex mapping needs. See how advanced product mapping routes each Stripe product. **Q: Does Acodei offer real-time synchronization?** Yes, Acodei offers real-time syncing by default. For businesses processing more than 500 transactions per month, we recommend using the daily summary sync method to reduce the volume of individual transactions sent to QuickBooks. This helps improve performance while maintaining accurate financial reporting. See what changes when you switch to daily summary. **Q: How secure is the data integration process between Stripe and QuickBooks? Are customer financial details protected?** Acodei prioritizes data security. We undergo a rigorous annual security review with QuickBooks and meet the necessary standards to securely sync with Stripe. If customer data privacy is a concern, Acodei offers options, such as the daily summary method, that allow you to sync financial data without including individual customer details. For more information, please review our Data Processing Agreement here: https://www.acodei.com/data-processing **Q: Is Acodei compatible with all versions of Stripe and QuickBooks?** Acodei is fully compatible with QuickBooks Online. To connect with Stripe, you'll need admin or developer access to install and authorize the Acodei app for integration. **Q: How long does it take to set up Acodei sync?** Setting up Acodei typically takes 10 minutes or less. The key to a smooth onboarding is knowing which QuickBooks accounts you want to use for your Stripe mappings. For example, be ready to select accounts for sales, refunds, Stripe payouts, and your Stripe balance. Most users use Undeposited Funds to track their Stripe balance, but you can choose any account that fits your workflow. Having this information on hand will help you complete setup quickly and confidently. Walk through it with the step-by-step setup guide. ### Everything About Your Billing With Acodei Get information on all payment-related concerns and understand the simplicity and safety of financial transactions with Acodei. **Q: What counts as a transaction?** Your plan limit is based on the number of Stripe events Acodei syncs into QuickBooks each month. Generally, each Stripe sale, refund, payout, invoice, and payment on an invoice counts as one transaction. Some uncommon mapping types can also add up to one daily balance transaction. Failed or incomplete payments are never counted. For the full breakdown, see How Acodei defines a transaction (https://docs.acodei.com/docs/how-acodei-defines-a-transaction/). The pricing page also spells out what counts as a transaction. **Q: Are there any additional costs associated with using Acodei?** Besides your regular subscription fees, there are two things you can be charged for. The first is historical data pulls. Monthly plans pay for historical data as they use it, and annual plans include historical-data credits worth twelve times your plan's monthly transaction limit, so a plan sized to your ongoing volume covers about a year of history at that volume. Anything beyond the credit is priced from the historical-data table at https://docs.acodei.com/docs/acodei-detailed-pricing/. The second is a bulk resync of more than 100 transactions, which is priced by volume at https://docs.acodei.com/docs/bulk-resync-fees/. Resyncs of 100 transactions or fewer are free, and so is any resync needed because of an error on our side. **Q: Can I cancel my subscription at any time, and what happens to my data if I do?** Yes, you can cancel your Acodei subscription at any time. If you cancel, your data will be securely retained for 30 days in case you decide to reactivate your account. After 30 days, all data related to your account will be permanently deleted. **Q: Is there a trial period or free version available before committing to a subscription?** Yes! All paid plans now include a complimentary 14-day trial, providing you with full access to premium features to thoroughly evaluate the service. A credit card is required to start it. **Q: What pricing plans and billing options are available?** Acodei offers flexible pricing plans built to scale with your business. Our Scale Plans are perfect for growing businesses that need reliable, automated syncing between Stripe and QuickBooks. You can choose a plan based on your monthly transaction volume, starting at just $12/month. All Scale Plans include real-time or daily syncing, advanced transaction mapping, enhanced Stripe integrations (like Capital, Connect, and Tax, which needs Stripe Tax switched on in your Stripe account), and responsive email or Zoom support. Annual subscriptions include credits for historical data, making it easy to bring your books fully up to date. For larger or more complex operations, our Enterprise Plans include everything in Scale, plus priority same-day support, account health monitoring, and hands-on help with custom integrations or multi-company setups. Both monthly and annual billing options are available, and each QuickBooks company connection is billed separately. Additional historical data can be purchased anytime as your needs grow. **Q: Do you offer an enterprise tier for large organizations?** Yes, Acodei offers Enterprise plans tailored for large organizations with high transaction volumes and complex integration needs. These plans support up to 250,000 transactions per month and include everything in our Scale plans, along with proactive account monitoring and priority same-day support via email, Zoom, or Slack.

To learn more, visit our Enterprise pricing page (https://docs.acodei.com/docs/acodei-detailed-pricing/) or contact us at support@acodei.com. Above 250,000 transactions a month, or if you run several QuickBooks companies, request custom pricing. **Q: What is your refund policy?** Acodei starts every new subscription with a 14-day free trial, so you can test the platform before any payment is taken. Cancel before the trial ends and you are not charged. Once a paid subscription begins, refunds are issued only for billing errors such as a duplicate charge, an incorrect amount, or a charge taken after a confirmed cancellation, and you need to contact us within 7 days of the charge. Renewals, annual plans after the trial, and historical-data credits already delivered are not refundable. The full policy is at https://docs.acodei.com/docs/acodeis-refund-policy/. **Q: What happens if I cancel partway through an annual plan?** You cancel by disconnecting your QuickBooks company, which stops future billing, and your access continues through the end of the billing period you have already paid for. An annual plan is paid for the year up front, and after the 14-day trial ends that payment is not refunded: there are no partial refunds or prorated credits for unused time, so cancelling in month three does not return the remaining months. If you want the flexibility to stop at a month boundary, choose monthly billing. The full policy is at https://docs.acodei.com/docs/acodeis-refund-policy/. **Q: Do you offer a free trial?** Yes, Acodei offers a 14-day free trial on all paid plans, giving you full access to advanced features like invoice sync, product mapping, daily summary sync, and extended Stripe integrations. Starting the trial requires a credit card. For a full comparison of plans and features, visit our Detailed Pricing page (https://docs.acodei.com/docs/acodei-detailed-pricing/) **Q: Do I need a credit card to start the free trial?** Yes. Starting a 14-day trial requires a card. Your first payment is due when the trial ends, so cancel before then and you are not billed. **Q: How do I cancel my subscription?** To cancel your Acodei subscription, visit app.acodei.com and disconnect your QuickBooks company from Acodei. For step-by-step instructions and additional details, refer to our cancellation guide (https://docs.acodei.com/docs/how-to-cancel-your-acodei-subscription/). **Q: How does my subscription work?** You can upgrade or downgrade your Acodei subscription at any time. To manage your plan, visit app.acodei.com/billing. ### Your QuickBooks Stripe Integration Account with Acodei Clarify doubts regarding account settings, security, and more, with Acodei - the reliable bridge between your Stripe and QuickBooks accounts. **Q: Can I use Acodei with multiple team members under a single account?** Yes!
