Thanks Stephen, I like the database way of going about this... it's detailed. Fortunately, I don't have a requirement for the taxes and shipping info, these are simply invoices for my service business, so that makes life a little easier. I didn't consider that multiple deposits in one day might

Thanks David, This is exactly how I think this would work. It's a little messy but in my case I don't have a need or want to track each and every transaction and sale in GnuCash. I just need the accounting data. Stripe is pretty similar to Paypal and I've had this issue before with Paypal as well.

I think every Gnucash importing tool whether CSV QIF or OFX will try hard to match the amounts first and foremost. The only 'fuzzy' amount matching that is currently allowed is the so-called "ATM Fees Threshold" in Preferences which takes an absolute number (e.g. $2.00). On Wed, 27 Nov 2019 at
