If you see fees you didn’t enter in Books → Expenses, or payments under Payments without an invoice, it isn’t a mistake: with Stripe connected, Books reads the transactions on your Stripe account and records them on its own, so your profit and estimated tax are complete.
What is recorded automatically
- As an expense: the fee on each transaction (its description says whether it is Stripe’s, Aiden’s or both) and other charges Stripe makes. In the list they carry the source From Stripe
- As income, under Payments without an invoice: what you collect through Stripe without an Aiden invoice, for example a sale on your website
- As a negative amount: refunds and disputes you lose. If you win a dispute back, it adds up again
What is not recorded: the payment of an Aiden invoice (it already counts as income when it becomes Paid, and isn’t added twice) and Stripe’s transfers to your bank, which only move the money.
Where you see it
- In Books → Balances: Stripe fees this month and the list of Payments without an invoice
- In Books → Expenses: each fee, with its date
- In the CSV from For your accountant, together with your invoices and your other expenses
When it updates
Every time you open Books in the app (at most once every five minutes) and once a day, even if you don’t open it. The first time it brings in the transactions from the last two years.
