How to Export Stripe Data to Abby.fr Step by Step

Let’s paint a picture.

You’ve just wrapped a good month. Stripe payouts are rolling in. Orders are processed. Clients are happy.

And then your accountant calls. Or maybe it’s just you, opening Abby.fr and realising:

“Wait… how do I get all these Stripe payments into here without copying everything by hand?”

You’re not alone.

Stripe is brilliant for getting paid. But exporting data from Stripe and bringing it into a French accounting platform like Abby.fr – cleanly, correctly, and without spending your weekend on Excel – that’s a whole different story.

This guide is for people like you. We’ll break down how to export Stripe data to Abby.fr step by step, with and without automation. We’ll look at tools, tricks, and how to avoid the biggest pitfalls.

Let’s dive in.

Theory and practice

Imagine Stripe is your point-of-sale system. It’s like the register at your shop—logging each payment, fee, and refund.

Now imagine Abby.fr is your bookkeeper’s spreadsheet. It doesn’t care how stylish your register is. It wants numbers. Clean, structured, complete.

The problem? Stripe gives you a pile of receipts. Abby wants a summary, sorted by date, fee, and tax rate.

Your job is to build the bridge. And as you’ll see in this article—there are two ways to do it:

1. Manually: like building a bridge brick by brick (doable, but slow and prone to collapse)

2. Automatically: with a tool like Acomim, which builds the bridge for you – with VAT and French compliance baked in

Let’s explore both.

Step 1. Understand what Abby needs

Before we start moving data, let’s clarify what Abby.fr expects.

Abby wants:

• Sales total per transaction or per invoice

• VAT rate applied (if applicable)

• Stripe fee (if you record income in gross)

• Payment date

Abby allows manual entry of transactions, upload via CSV, or automated import through third-party tools.

If you’re self-employed or running a small SASU, and you issue a few dozen invoices a month, manual import might be enough. If you run an online shop or accept payments daily through Stripe, automation will save your sanity.

Step 2. Manually export Stripe data

Let’s say you want to export the data yourself, without using any tools. Here’s how to do it the long way (aka “Spreadsheet Mode”).

1. Log into your Stripe Dashboard

Head to dashboard.stripe.com

2. Go to Payments > All Payments

Here you can see a list of all incoming transactions.

3. Choose the format:

• Format: CSV

• Fields: All default, or customise to include:

  • Gross amount

  • Stripe fee

  • Net amount

  • Payment date

  • Description

4. Open the CSV

Now it’s time to clean the data.

Things to fix:

• Format dates to the French style (dd/mm/yyyy)

• Convert decimal separators to commas if needed

• Add VAT columns (if you’re charging 20%, 5.5%, etc.)

• Categorise by client if needed

5. Create a matching CSV for Abby

Abby has a CSV import format. You’ll need to:

• Create columns for:

  • Date

  • Client

  • Amount

  • VAT rate

  • Fee (optional, if accounting for Stripe fees)

• Save as UTF-8 encoded CSV

• Head to Abby > Paramètres > Importer un fichier CSV

• Upload and match the fields

Use this method if:
You send fewer than 20 invoices/month and enjoy spreadsheets.

Step 3. Automate the export with Acomim

Now let’s talk about the smarter option: automated sync using Acomim.

This is like telling your software:

“Here’s my Stripe account. Here’s Abby. Please talk to each other, reconcile VAT, and don’t bother me unless something’s wrong.”

Why use Acomim?

• It connects directly to Stripe

• It pulls in all transactions automatically

• It splits gross/net/fees

• It applies VAT rates (you define them once)

• It’s built for French platforms – Abby is fully supported

Acomim is ideal for e-commerce, freelancers, or SaaS businesses who get paid through Stripe and want to avoid manual input.

Here’s the setup process:

1. Sign up at Acomim.com

Choose the Free plan (up to 50 transactions/month) or upgrade if needed.

2. Connect your Stripe account

Takes 30 seconds. Acomim now sees your payments (read-only access).

3. Set your VAT preferences

You’ll configure:

• Default rate (e.g. 20%)

• Reduced rates if applicable (5.5%, 10%, etc.)

• Whether to use gross accounting or net

4. Choose Abby.fr as your export format

Acomim will generate files that match Abby’s preferred input style.

5. Export your data

Choose your date range (monthly, weekly, custom). Click Download.

You’ll get:

• A structured Excel file (with all the data Abby needs)

• Optional: combined VAT report

6. Go to Abby and import

• Open Abby

• Navigate to Paramètres > Importer un fichier

• Upload the file Acomim generated

• Done

In 3-4 clicks, you’ve imported Stripe sales, VAT, fees, all without opening Excel once.

Use this method if:
You process more than 20 payments/month or want compliance without extra work.

Step 4. Compare methods at a glance

Final thoughts

Stripe makes getting paid easier than ever.

But turning those payments into bookkeeping entries and VAT records? That part still takes work, unless you automate it.

Whether you’re a solopreneur or an online business, you now have two clear paths:

• Manual export if you’re just starting and like the control

• Acomim automation if you’re ready to stop managing spreadsheets and focus on your business

Whatever you choose, remember: Abby.fr is made to work with you. And with the right bridge (especially one built for France), exporting Stripe data doesn’t have to be a chore.
