Match Your Deposits in QuickBooks

This is the final step in the setup process.
Once your payouts have been sent to QuickBooks from Mabel, you’ll match them to your actual bank deposits inside QuickBooks Online.

This confirms that: - the payout was recorded correctly
- the deposit is linked to the right bank account
- your bookkeeping is accurate and complete

Step 1: Go to your bank feed in QuickBooks

  1. Log into QuickBooks Online
  2. In the left sidebar, click Banking or Transactions → Bank
  3. Choose the bank account where your Stripe payouts are deposited

You’ll now see a list of bank transactions waiting to be reviewed.

(Optional: insert screenshot of the bank feed)

Step 2: Look for the Stripe deposit

You should see a bank transaction that matches the payout amount Mabel created.

QuickBooks will usually show the Match found message automatically.

If it does: - Click Match
- You’re done 🎉

Step 3: If QuickBooks doesn’t show a match

Sometimes QuickBooks won’t auto-match, especially if: - the bank posted the deposit a day earlier/later than expected
- the deposit is large and QBO is “unsure”
- you edited account mappings recently

No problem — you can match it manually.

  1. Click the transaction in the bank feed
  2. Click Find Match
  3. A window will open showing recent deposits
  4. Select the deposit created by Mabel
  5. Click Save

This links the bank deposit to the Stripe payout perfectly.

Step 4: Repeat for any other payouts

If you synced multiple payouts: - match each one in the bank feed
- each should have its own deposit
- everything should reconcile cleanly

What success looks like

When everything is matched:

  • Your Books balance equals your Bank balance
  • You have no uncategorized Stripe deposits
  • Revenue and fees are recorded correctly
  • You have clean, audit-friendly bookkeeping

This is exactly what Mabel is designed to help you do.

You're all set!

Your setup is complete.
From now on, just:

  1. Run Quick Sync
  2. Send new payouts to QuickBooks
  3. Match them in your bank feed

Your books will stay accurate with minimum effort.
