Recurring billing
For subscriptions invoiced in advance, we assess which service period each amount relates to.
Stripe payments and billing in your accounts
We connect your Stripe data to accounting in DATEV. Together, we agree how invoices, payments, fees and refunds are transferred. For subscriptions, we also consider service periods when allocating revenue across accounting periods.
The system
What is Stripe?
Stripe provides payment processing and billing tools. Stripe Payments handles payments, while Stripe Billing supports recurring billing. Accounting also needs the related invoices and service periods.
Bring invoices and payment flows together
MiracleSync is one option for a setup based on Stripe Billing and Payments. For store or multichannel workflows, we assess Pathway. Amicon is a MiracleSync partner firm and a Pathway Gold Partner. The choice depends on your billing channels and data requirements.

Questions about Stripe and accounting
Does Amicon keep the books in Stripe?
Stripe supplies billing and payment data. Financial accounting takes place in DATEV, using a connection appropriate to your setup.
Which connection does my business need?
For Stripe Billing and Payments we consider MiracleSync, and for multiple store and payment channels we assess Pathway. Data coverage, billing model and existing systems determine the choice.
Is revenue from annual subscriptions deferred automatically?
