Tested Against Real Stripe Data
Not a demo with fake numbers. We connected a real Stripe sandbox and synced every transaction.
391 total records synced from a real Stripe sandbox — every one with its own GL entry.
What Makes This Different
Replace hours of spreadsheet work with one chat command.
Every Transaction Becomes a Journal Entry
Individual transaction level, not daily summaries. Every charge, refund, fee, and dispute creates its own GL entry with full Stripe metadata — the who, what, when, and how much. Zero manual data entry.
3-Layer Payout Reconciliation Without Spreadsheets
Layer 1: match Stripe transactions to payment entries. Layer 2: match payouts to bank deposits. Layer 3: verify the clearing account hits zero. One command replaces hours of spreadsheet work.
Natural Language Accounting Through Chat
Say "sync my Stripe data" or "show me last month's MRR." Replace hours of spreadsheet work with one chat command. Setup takes under 5 minutes, no configuration screens — just paste your API key.

How It Works
Other ERPs need a 45-day implementation with a CPA consulting team. ERPClaw needs one conversation. This is a real tested flow — not a mockup.
Based on a real end-to-end test: fresh install → company setup → Stripe connect → sync → reports. Verified March 2026.
Key Features
Auto-Sync
Charges, refunds, disputes, and payouts sync automatically. No manual downloads, no CSV imports, no reconciliation spreadsheets. Individual transaction level with full metadata — not daily summaries.
3-Layer Reconciliation
Layer 1: match Stripe transactions to ERPClaw payment entries. Layer 2: match payouts to bank deposits. Layer 3: verify GL clearing account hits zero. One command reconciliation.
Automatic GL Posting
Every Stripe event creates GL entries. Charges post revenue. Fees post to expense. Refunds reverse. Disputes create reserves. Zero manual journal entries.
Dispute Handling
Disputes automatically create reserve entries. Won disputes reverse the reserve. Lost disputes write off the receivable. Full audit trail either way.
Stripe Connect
Multi-party payments for platforms and marketplaces. Application fees, transfers, and connected account payouts — all posted to the correct GL accounts automatically.
MRR Reports
Monthly recurring revenue, churn rate, expansion revenue, and contraction — calculated from actual Stripe subscription data, not estimates.
GL Posting Rules
Most ERPs hide their GL rules behind proprietary code. We publish ours. Every transaction becomes a journal entry you can trace and verify.
| Event | Debit | Credit | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charge | Stripe Clearing + Stripe Fees | Revenue | Net amount to clearing, gross fees to expense |
| Refund | Revenue | Stripe Clearing | Reversal of original charge |
| Dispute | Dispute Reserve | Stripe Clearing | Reserve until resolved |
| Payout | Bank Account | Stripe Clearing | Clearing account should hit zero |
| Fee Refund | Stripe Clearing | Stripe Fees | Stripe returns the fee on refund |

We Don't Guess. We Prove.
Deterministic reconciliation means every GL entry is traceable back to a Stripe balance_transaction. No AI guessing which invoice a payment belongs to.
Their Approach
- ML-based matching algorithms
- ~95% auto-match rate
- 5% requires human intervention
- Can't explain why a match was made
Our Approach
- Deterministic 3-layer matching
- balance_transaction → charge → payout
- 100% match rate when data is clean
- Every GL entry traceable to source
Every GL entry references a Stripe balance_transaction. Every balance_transaction links to a charge or payout. There is no AI guessing which invoice a payment belongs to — Stripe tells us, and we post it.
vs. Manual Reconciliation
Most businesses spend 3-5 days per month reconciling Stripe with their books. ERPClaw does it with one command — zero manual data entry.
| Aspect | ERPClaw + Stripe | Manual Process |
|---|---|---|
| Reconciliation time | 0 days (automatic) | 3-5 business days |
| Fee tracking | Per-transaction, automatic | Monthly aggregate |
| Dispute visibility | Real-time GL reserve | Discovered at month-end |
| Payout matching | Automatic to bank deposit | Manual spreadsheet |
| Revenue recognition | Posted on charge | Batch at month-end |
| Manual data entry | Zero | Every transaction |
| Error rate | Zero (deterministic) | 2-5% industry average |
The Open Source Advantage

No Vendor Lock-in
