If you would like to allocate discounts to offset revenue in the same general ledger code as the product line they discount, rather than posting them to the coupon account, then use this option.

  1. Go to Load Data (top bar) > Connections (left sidebar) and click Configure on the Stripe card.
  2. Under Import options, turn on Allocate line item discounts by product.

With the option off, discounts post to the account set for each coupon under Mapping > Coupons. See How to integrate Stripe and automate invoice creation in Xero or How to integrate Stripe and automate invoice creation in QuickBooks for the full list of import options and mapping steps.
