How do I reconcile Stripe in QuickBooks?

With StripeClose, paste your Stripe restricted read-only key, select the month, and download a QuickBooks-ready journal entry CSV. Import it directly into QBO — no manual entry. The journal entry follows the standard Stripe clearing account method: DR Stripe Clearing / CR Revenue (gross), DR Fees, DR Refunds, DR Bank / CR Stripe Clearing (per payout).

What is Stripe month-end closing?

Stripe month-end closing is the accounting process of reconciling all Stripe payouts, charges, refunds, fees, and disputes for a given month into your accounting system. StripeClose automates this in 30 seconds — generating a complete closing package including payout reconciliation, fee breakdown, and a balanced journal entry.

Yes. StripeClose is 100% free. No subscription, no paywall, no credit card. Every feature — payout reconciliation, fee breakdown, QBO journal entry, CSV downloads — is free. The tool is supported by optional crypto donations.

What is a Stripe restricted key and is it safe?

A Stripe restricted key is a read-only API key scoped to specific resources. It has zero ability to create charges, issue refunds, or move money — it can only read. StripeClose uses your restricted key only for the report request. It is sent over HTTPS and never written to any database, log, or file.

How do I get a QuickBooks journal entry from Stripe?

Use StripeClose: create a Stripe restricted key (read-only), paste it into stripeclose.com, select your month, and download the QBO Journal Entry CSV. Import it in QuickBooks Online under Accounting → Chart of Accounts → Import. The journal entry is balanced and ready to import immediately.

Why doesn't Stripe's native export work for bookkeeping?

Stripe's exports are designed for payment processing, not accounting. Each bank deposit (payout) represents hundreds of individual transactions, which Stripe doesn't reconcile automatically. Fees, refunds, and disputes are separate reports. StripeClose combines all of this into one clean, audit-ready closing package.

Does StripeClose work with multiple currencies?

Yes. StripeClose normalizes all transactions to USD (your Stripe account's base currency) using the exchange rates Stripe applied at transaction time.

How long does it take to generate a Stripe closing package?

Under 30 seconds for most accounts. StripeClose pulls your payout history, fetches all balance transactions, categorizes charges, refunds, fees, and disputes, and builds a complete closing package including a QBO journal entry.

Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 4, 2026

The short version

StripeClose (stripeclose.com) generates a Stripe month-end closing report from a read-only Stripe key you provide. Your key is used only to fetch the data for your report and is never stored, logged, or retained. We keep no accounts and no database of your financial data.

1. Your Stripe key

To build your report, your restricted read-only Stripe key is transmitted over an encrypted HTTPS connection to our server, used to read your payouts and balance transactions for the selected month, and then discarded when the response is sent back to you. It is never written to any database, log file, or disk, and never shared with anyone. A restricted read-only key cannot move money, create charges, or issue refunds. We recommend you revoke the key in your Stripe dashboard whenever you like — your report is already downloaded to your device.

2. Your report data

The closing package, transaction tables, and CSV/journal exports are generated for your request and returned to your browser. We do not retain a copy of your Stripe data after the response is delivered. There is no account, no history, and nothing to log back into.

3. Advertising (Google AdSense) and cookies
