Transform your bookkeeping with Zapier
Zapier helps finance professionals build more reliable bookkeeping automation without adding manual work. Capture transaction records, route receipts for review, and update books after payments postβand that's just the start.
Transaction capture
Catch every payment as it happens
Capture bookkeeping activity the moment a sale, payout, or transfer is recorded. Zapier moves transaction details from Stripe, Square, Shopify, PayPal, or Revolut Business into QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Google Sheets for clean recordkeeping. That means finance professionals spend less time chasing source data.
Real-time payment capture
Capture payment activity from Stripe, Square, PayPal, or Shopify the moment it lands, then send the details into your accounting workflow. Finance professionals get complete transaction records without checking each platform by hand.
Payout logging
Record each payout as soon as it is issued and route the amount, date, and source into QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Google Sheets. This keeps bookkeeping current between bank deposits and platform reports.
Sales record routing
Route new sales data into Airtable, Notion, or ClickUp for review queues and exception handling. Your team can separate standard entries from records that need a closer look.
Spreadsheet transaction feeds
Send fresh transaction details into Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel for rolling logs, custom checks, and daily bookkeeping reviews. Analysts always have current data ready for filtering and follow-up.
Merchant account imports
Pull records from Mercury, Revolut Business, or Square into downstream bookkeeping workflows as activity appears. That reduces missed transfers and keeps source systems from becoming blind spots.
