Connect Exact Online to stipt
You connect Exact Online to stipt through the Accounting module: install the module from the module store, log in with your Exact account and pick your administration. From then on you invoice a record into Exact in a few clicks: stipt creates the customer if needed, carries over the invoice lines and VAT, and the invoice gets an invoice number right away. The payment status flows back to the record automatically.

What does the integration between stipt and Exact Online do?
The integration connects your customer work in stipt with your books in Exact Online. From a record you click Send to accounting and stipt creates the invoice in Exact: the customer is created or matched if they already exist, the invoice lines and VAT carry over, and the invoice is processed in your administration right away.
After that stipt tracks the payment status for you: once the invoice is paid (or partially paid) in Exact, you see it on the record. No double entry between your CRM and your accounting, and no retyped invoice lines with mistakes in them.
How do I connect Exact Online to stipt?
As an admin, install the Accounting module via Settings and then Modules. Pick Exact Online as your package and click Connect: you log in on Exact's own login page and grant stipt access. Then choose the administration stipt should work in; all customers and invoices go there.
In the settings you can optionally pick a sales journal, payment condition and cost center. Those lists come straight from your administration; leave them empty and Exact uses its defaults. Finally, enable the Accounting block on the record types you want to invoice from. Connecting and settings are for admins; after that any team member can invoice.
How do I send an invoice from stipt to Exact Online?
On the record, click Send to accounting in the Accounting block. The invoice lines come from the Products module: your quote lines and manually added lines. In the wizard you tick which lines to include, choose how to invoice and check the reference and description. Each line uses 21%, 9%, 0% or reverse-charged VAT; the actual booking is done by Exact based on the VAT code.
After sending, the invoice is processed in Exact and gets an invoice number. If processing does not go through right away, the invoice sits ready as a draft in Exact and the block shows the status Draft. stipt does not email the invoice to your customer; you send it from Exact the way you always do. See the quotes guide for how quote lines work.
Can I invoice in installments from stipt?
Yes. You define payment schedules in the settings, for example 30/30/40, and pick one when sending; custom percentages that add up to 100 work too. Each installment becomes its own invoice in Exact, with every line scaled to the installment percentage.
The first installment goes out right away. Later installments show as Planned in the Accounting block, and you send them with one click when it is time. Without a schedule everything is invoiced at once.
How do I see in stipt whether an invoice is paid?
The Accounting block shows a status per invoice: Planned, Draft, Sent, Partially paid, Paid or Failed. stipt checks open invoices with Exact periodically, so a payment comes in even when nobody has the record open. Use Refresh status to fetch the current state right away.
How the block displays payment is up to you: as a status, a percentage or an amount.
Is the Exact Online integration secure?
Yes. The integration uses the official Exact Online API with OAuth: you log in with Exact itself and stipt never sees your password. Access tokens are stored encrypted and stipt runs on servers in the EU.
You can disconnect at any time in the settings. Nothing gets deleted: everything already in Exact stays there, and you can reconnect later.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own Exact Online subscription?
Yes, the integration works with your own Exact Online account. In stipt you just enable the Accounting module; see /prijzen for what stipt costs.
I have multiple administrations in Exact. Does that work?
You choose in the settings which administration stipt uses; all customers and invoices go there. You can switch administrations there too.
What happens when sending to Exact fails?
The invoice gets the status Failed, with Exact's error message attached. Fix the cause and click Retry. If the connection itself stops working, the settings show Attention needed and you reconnect there.
What if my product lines change after invoicing?
The Accounting block then shows how many product changes there are. You decide what happens: send them as an extra invoice, for example for additional work, or roll them into the next planned installment.
Does stipt work with other accounting packages?
Exact Online is the available package right now. The module is built so every package gets the same capabilities in stipt; the package picker shows which ones are coming.
