I wanted to chime in to report my own journey/struggle to get Stripe and QBO integrated. A few years ago, I quite happily discovered and began using the Synder integration application. They built out an integration for the QBO API that handled all of my needs at the time (synced new sales transactions from Stripe, checked for existing customer record/created new customer record, created invoice and receipt and then created a "Stripe" bank account (clearing account) to which I could "Match" payouts from Stripe to our connected business checking account.
All was well but over a period of a couple years, Synder began to grow and, sadly, began to adopt profit-driven motivations....so the features began to get locked down under higher priced tiered pricing and they began to really restrict the number of monthly transactions to the point that you'd have to upgrade to a tier with a very bloated and unnecessary feature set for an very significant increase in pricing. As a small business we were quickly priced out.
My wife had begun using Zapier to automate some email campaign features. I noticed that QBO was offered as an integration and so since her plan had so many "Zaps" leftover each month, I decided to experiement. Well. to make a long story short, I was able to replicated EVERYTHING that Synder was doing for me by building TWO Zaps. One for handling new sales transaction syncs to QBO and the other for managing Stripe Payouts. This did require some very basic Javascript and a rudimentary level understanding of APIs and HTML network requests....but it can be done!
I hope that this helps somebody who is struggle with the same ridiculous issue.
