Stripe AFAS

Keep Stripe and AFAS updated automatically.

Today you download the Stripe reports and work out which payments, fees and refunds sat in today’s payout. With subscriptions the invoice date does not line up with the payment date either, so your periods never quite match. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Stripe lands in AFAS by itself, in the shape AFAS expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The problem

  • Today you type the postings in by hand, pick the right account and VAT rate per line, and check afterwards whether it reconciles.

The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between Stripe and AFAS, and how often.

  1. Payments

    to AFAS automatically

    Once a sale is settled it shows against the invoice in AFAS, so your bank entries reconcile later.

Both sides

What each side expects

Stripe and AFAS do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Stripe

Stripe thinks in payments, refunds and payouts, each with its own id. Fees come off per transaction and subscriptions produce their own invoices, separate from when the money actually lands.

AFAS

An accounting package wants to know, per line, which ledger account and VAT rate apply, and wants the customer on file as a relation.

In four steps

Setting it up

  1. 01

    Request the connector

    Let us know you want to link Stripe to AFAS. We get in touch within 24 hours with a timeline.

  2. 02

    We agree what should travel

    Together we settle what should travel out of Stripe. An accounting package wants to know, per line, which ledger account and VAT rate apply, and wants the customer on file as a relation.

  3. 03

    We build and test

    You see the connector run on a few test records before anything becomes final.

What you need

  • A Stripe account you administer. The API keys sit under the developer settings in the Stripe dashboard.
  • An administration you administer, plus clarity on the ledger account you want used.

Common questions

Can you connect Stripe to AFAS?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Stripe and AFAS, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Which VAT rate do my sales get in AFAS?

The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.

Are commission and fees booked separately in AFAS?

Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in AFAS, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.

Does this line up with my Stripe payouts, not just individual payments?

Both. Individual payments and the payout that bundles them come across, so the amount in your bank later matches what you sold.

What does connecting Stripe and AFAS cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does Stripe sync with AFAS?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

What happens to a return or refund in AFAS?

A return becomes a credit invoice in AFAS for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.

Are the Stripe transaction fees included?

Yes. The fees Stripe deducts per transaction are handled separately, so your revenue and your payout no longer drift apart.

Missing something you need?

Tell us what Stripe and AFAS should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
