- Import balance transactions — Every payout, charge, refund, and fee is imported as a transaction.
- Track fees — Stripe processing fees are recorded separately so you can see your actual revenue.
- Receive webhooks — Real-time updates when new transactions occur.

Stripe and revenue
When Stripe transactions are imported, they can be linked to your revenue invoices. This creates a complete chain from customer payment through Stripe to your bank account.
Cross-currency charges
When a customer pays in a different currency than your Stripe settlement currency (for example, a USD payment settling to your EUR balance), Financica records the transaction with proper foreign exchange (FX) legs:
- Bank leg -- The net amount received in your settlement currency (e.g. EUR).
- Exchange legs -- A pair of legs on the Currency exchange account that represent the conversion: one in your settlement currency, one in the original charge currency.
- Category leg -- The revenue amount in the customer's original payment currency (e.g. USD), which can be linked to invoices denominated in that currency.
- Fee legs -- Stripe processing and currency conversion fees, in your settlement currency.
The original charge amount and currency are preserved rather than being collapsed into the settlement currency. For example, a $125.00 USD charge that settles as EUR 108.57 (at a rate of 0.868572) will show the full $125.00 USD on the revenue leg, with explicit exchange legs bridging the two currencies.
Stripe provides the exchange rate and original charge details on every cross-currency balance transaction. Financica detects this automatically during import -- no configuration is needed.
PayPal payments
PayPal is not a separate integration. When a customer pays through PayPal via your Stripe account, the payment is imported with the Stripe sync and labelled as a PayPal payment method on the transaction.
