What gets booked
BookSyncer posts real, reconcilable entries — not a monthly summary export. Here is exactly what it does for each type of Stripe activity.
Invoices
When a Stripe invoice is finalized, BookSyncer ensures the customer exists in e-conomic (creating it if needed) and creates the matching invoice. Depending on your setting, the invoice is either left as a draft for you to review, or auto-booked immediately.
Payments
When a Stripe invoice is paid, BookSyncer:
- Books the invoice (if not already booked)
- Books a customer payment voucher against your debtor (accounts receivable) account
- Books a finance voucher for the Stripe fee
- Books the net settlement and any FX difference
Stripe fees
Every payment carries a Stripe processing fee. BookSyncer books it to the fee account you chose during setup, so the amount that actually lands in your Stripe balance reconciles against the gross invoice amount.
FX differences
When an invoice is issued in one currency and settled in another, the exchange-rate difference is posted to your FX gain/loss accounts. This keeps your books accurate without any manual currency adjustments.
Payouts to bank
When Stripe pays out your balance to your bank, BookSyncer books a journal entry moving the amount from your Stripe clearing/balance account to your bank account. Your Stripe clearing account trends back toward zero, exactly as it should.
Credit notes on refunds
A refund creates and books a credit note against the original invoice. In v1, full refunds are handled end to end; partial refunds are flagged for manual handling with a clear message rather than being booked incorrectly.
Recorded but not booked
Some events are recorded for analytics only and produce no e-conomic entry — for example a failed payment. You can see these in the app, but they don't affect your ledger and don't count toward your plan's synced-event limit.
Every action is auditable
For each Stripe event, the app shows the ordered list of actions BookSyncer took — with the request, response, and a deep link to the resulting e-conomic invoice or voucher. If anything fails, it is retried automatically and, if it still fails, surfaced with the error and a manual retry button.
