Stripe to e-conomic
Sales, refunds, fees and payouts from Stripe, booked in e-conomic as balanced vouchers. Each payout clears the sales in it, so the clearing account closes and the bank ties.

What is booked when
Each sale is booked in e-conomic the day it happens, on the clearing account. When Stripe pays out, one voucher moves the money to the bank, and the clearing account is back at zero.

The clearing account closes
Between a sale and its payout, the money sits on the clearing account 5830: money Stripe owes you. Every payout clears exactly the sales and refunds in it, so the account returns to zero with each payout, and at month end it holds only what is still on its way. Anything left that should not be there is listed for you or your accountant to look at.
What gets booked, and how
- Sales
- Each paid invoice becomes a voucher, with the VAT of every line, against the clearing account 5830.
- Refunds
- Reversed on the same accounts as the sale, on the day they happen.
- Fees
- Stripe's fees are booked as a cost 3620 when the payout shows them, so revenue stays at what the customer paid. You choose the VAT on fees: none, reverse charge, or domestic VAT.
- Payouts
- Each payout is one voucher: the money moves from the clearing account 5830 to the bank account 5820, net of fees. It is booked only once every sale in it is booked, so it ties to the cent.
- Chargebacks
- Booked when opened, won or lost, with the withheld money on its own account. That account is a suggestion awaiting an accountant's ruling.
- VAT
- Output VAT by rate on every sale and refund, on the VAT accounts e-conomic uses.
What you control
- The accounts
- We suggest accounts from your own chart of accounts. Keep them, or change any one.
- The start date
- Book from today, or from the start of your financial year.
- Review first
- Turn on review mode and nothing posts until you or your accountant approve it.
- VAT on fees
- Pick how the fees are taxed. It applies from the next payout.
- Your accountant's access
- Give your accounting firm a login of its own: read only, or read and approve.
- Stopping
- Disconnect whenever you like. What has been booked stays in your books.
When something fails
- Short outages retry on their own
- If e-conomic is down or busy, we wait and try again. Each voucher carries a reference and a retry looks for it first, so nothing is booked twice.
- What only you can fix is said plainly
- Sign in again, an account that is missing or inactive, a locked period: you see it in plain words, with the one thing to do.
- A payout waits for its sales
- If a payout arrives before a sale in it, it waits and is booked once the sale is.
- Closed months stay closed
- Nothing is booked into a period that is locked or signed off. Late items go on the first open day, with the original date in the text.
- We check the books
- Every six hours we check that what we booked is still in e-conomic and that every payout cleared. A difference is shown to you, or fixed by us when it is ours.
