Synder\u2019s Excel import feature lets you import transaction data directly into QuickBooks or Xero. Use it when a payment or sales platform does not integrate directly with your accounting software. Instead of manual data entry, Excel acts as a bridge between your systems.<\/p>\n
What problem does this solve<\/strong><\/p>\n Specifically, this feature addresses the following issues:<\/p>\n Step 1<\/strong>: Switch to the required organization in the top-left corner of the Synder page. Click the Person icon in the upper-right corner and select Organization settings. In the Integrations section, click Add integration.<\/p>\n Step 2<\/strong>: Select Excel in the Add integration dropdown. Enter the provider name for Excel. Click Create.<\/p>\n Step 3<\/strong>: Find the newly added integration and click Finish configuration. Select an account for payouts, then set the timezone. Click Continue to complete the setup.<\/p>\n Step 1<\/strong>: Go to the Platform transactions<\/a> tab and click Import historical data.<\/p>\n Step 2<\/strong>: Next, under Select integrations you would like to import data from, select All. Click Import next to Import Excel spreadsheet.<\/p>\n Step 3<\/strong>: Click Download template. Download the file and populate it with data exported from the unsupported payment processor.<\/p>\n Step 4<\/strong>: Click Browse to upload the completed Excel file from your computer. Use the file after filling in the template. Once the template is completed, upload it to QuickBooks or Xero.<\/p>\n Step 5<\/strong>: After uploading the file, select the sheet containing the required data. Two options are available:<\/p>\n Finally, you can optionally enable Send an email notification when the import is finished<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The template supports five transaction types that can be synced to QuickBooks or Xero. Therefore, ensure that transaction type names match exactly before importing.<\/p>\n Useful notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n To import a transfer or payout, use \u201cTRANSFER\u201d<\/strong> as the transaction type. Synder then creates a transfer that moves funds between two accounts in your books.<\/p>\n Specifically, here is how Synder determines the accounts:<\/strong><\/p>\n Required fields:<\/strong><\/p>\n Optional fields:<\/strong><\/p>\n Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> Unlike other transaction types, the Number field is not required for transfers.<\/p>\n Note 1:<\/strong> Closing or reloading the page does not interrupt the upload. Instead, the upload continues in the background.<\/p>\n Note 2:<\/strong> Check transactions in the transaction list in Synder. Manage synchronization as usual.<\/p>\n Note 3:<\/strong> Synder skips transactions with duplicate \u201cTransaction ID\u201d values. However, if you need to re-import the same transactions with different settings, follow these steps:<\/p>\n Note 4<\/strong>: You can also connect Excel multiple times if you have several unsupported platforms. Furthermore, each connection can be differentiated and configured separately. <\/p>\n Reach out to the Synder Team<\/em><\/a> via online support chat, phone, or email with any questions you have \u2013 we\u2019re always happy to help you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Synder\u2019s Excel import feature lets you import transaction data directly into QuickBooks or Xero.
