Most receivables tools connect to QuickBooks Online only

The accounts receivable automation tools that come up in search connect to QuickBooks Online. The closest one to Steda on price lists Xero, QuickBooks Online and NetSuite on its integrations page, and no Desktop. On Desktop Enterprise that leaves the aging report, a spreadsheet of who to call, and a reminder schedule that treats every customer the same.

The people behind Steda have run month-end close on QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise and chased the invoices in it. Desktop was the first connection built, and everything Steda Receivables does works through it.

Steda Receivables, a year$199 a month for one entity, portal included.$2,388

That price includes the reminder runs, the worklist and the portal. A bank payment through the portal carries a 0.5 percent fee capped at $5. See every figure.

Cash released is a one-time release of working capital. The carrying cost is what that cash costs you each year it stays in the aging. Steda does not forecast the days you would save; the days above are your own estimate.

How it runs

  1. 01

    The aging comes across

    One Web Connector run brings the open invoices, customers and credits out of the company file, Enterprise included. Without a connector, upload the customer list and the open items as files and the rest works the same.

  2. 02

    The list gets ranked

    Open items are aged on buckets you set, and the worklist is ranked by what is worth doing today. A promise pauses the chase until its date passes, and a dispute pauses it until it is settled.

  3. 03

    You approve the run

    Every reminder run previews the wording and the recipients, and nothing sends until somebody approves it. A new company starts in safe mode, where nothing can send.

What the Desktop connection does

It connects to Enterprise

Through the Web Connector, which Intuit ships for this purpose. Invoices, customers, credits, payments and the aging come in. Portal payments, payout deposits and reversals go back.

Payments written back

A payment taken through the portal is written back against the invoice in the company file, and the Stripe payout is reconciled to the bank deposit.

Checked against the company file

Each connection is checked against the file it belongs to before anything is written, so a run cannot write to the wrong company file.

Moving to QuickBooks Online

The aging history, policies, notes and promises are kept in Steda when you disconnect Desktop and connect Online. Your customers get new portal sign-in links.

Five things a reminder schedule cannot do

All five are in the product today.

See Steda Receivables, or the customer invoice portal on its own.

  • Reminder runs that preview and hold until somebody approves them, with safe mode on by default.
  • Promises to pay, recorded on the customer, pausing the chase until the date passes.
  • Disputes raised by you or by the customer from the portal, pausing the chase while they are open.
  • Escalations, so an account that has run out of steps goes to a person.
  • Month-end aging movement and the allowance for credit losses, from the aging you filed.

Questions

Does it work with QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise?

Yes, through the Web Connector. The aging, customers and credits come across, and a payment taken in the portal is written back the same way. Most accounts receivable tools in this price range connect to QuickBooks Online only.

What if we do not want a connector?

Upload the customer list and the open items as files, CSV or Excel. Every data flow in Steda works with the connectors off, and the worklist and the month-end workpaper export to Excel.

Will it email our customers without us seeing it first?

No. Every run previews the messages and recipients and holds until somebody approves it. A new company starts in safe mode, where nothing can send, and turning safe mode off is recorded against the user who did it.

How is this different from the reminders in QuickBooks?

The reminders in QuickBooks Desktop run on the schedules you set. They do not know who promised to pay on Friday or who is disputing a line. The comparison page sets out the differences, with sources.

What does it cost?

Steda Receivables is $199 a month for the first entity and $129 for each additional entity, unlimited users, with the customer payment portal included. A payment taken through the portal carries a platform fee of half a percent, capped at $5 on a bank payment, on top of the processing your own Stripe account is billed for.

How long does it take to start?

Send the aging ahead and it is loaded before the walkthrough. Self-service onboarding costs nothing and you load the data yourself. Standard onboarding is $750 and ends with your aging agreeing to QuickBooks and your policies live.

Send your aging ahead and see your own worklist on the walkthrough.
