How to Connect
FAQs
Stripe connects to many accounting platforms, but the key is data quality. Look for tools that sync Stripe’s balance transactions (payments, refunds, fees, disputes, payouts) and use the Payout Reconciliation report, so your books show gross, fees, and net cash cleanly. Puzzle does this natively and keeps the Stripe→bank trail intact, end-to-end. 
Yes, Puzzle connects to Stripe and ingests balance transactions (payments, refunds, fees, disputes, transfers, payouts) for clean reconciliation. Startups that rely on subscription payments as their source of revenue can leverage Puzzle & Stripe for a clean, streamlined financial stack.
Open a payout in Stripe, download the Payout Reconciliation report, and match that batch to the deposit in your bank feed—post gross revenue, Stripe fees, and any refunds/chargebacks separately. That keeps subscription revenue accurate even when deposits settle days after billing. Puzzle automates this flow so closes don’t wait on spreadsheets. 
“Free” usually means spreadsheets: export Stripe reports and build your own schedules. It works, but it’s manual and error-prone. Stripe’s Revenue Recognition product is a paid add-on; Puzzle provides automated recognition so founders don’t maintain complex sheets. 
If you’re on a legacy GL, the connection typically happens through an app from its marketplace—not a built-in, ledger-native sync. Those apps vary and often prioritize payouts/summaries rather than Stripe’s full balance-transaction detail. Puzzle integrates directly with Stripe’s ledger and payout reports for line-level accuracy.
