Qonto and ACD offer several integration methods for retrieving your accounting data. Depending on your setup, you can retrieve purchase and sales invoices, bank transactions, or set up full synchronization of accounting entries via the Qontable Space API (reserved for Chartered Accountants).
☝️ If you are a Chartered Accountant, you must have an Accountant access to access your clients' files via the Qontable Space. If not, ask your clients to invite you as an Accountant on their account. The Qonto Basic plan does not allow this invitation.
How can I retrieve invoices and transactions in ACD?
The Qonto → ACD integration (developed by ACD) allows automatic retrieval of invoices and bank transactions directly into ACD. It is available starting from the Qonto Basic plan.
What the ACD integration allows:
- Qonto bank account in ACD: creation of a new Qonto account or pairing of an existing account directly from ACD
- Supplier invoice payments: one-click payment from the ACD i-Invoice module, secured by dual mobile validation
- Accounting reconciliation: instant matching between invoices and bank transactions
- Sales invoices: sending paid and unpaid sales invoices to ACD — then OCR processing (i-Deposit) and generation of sales entries in ACD
- Purchase invoices: sending only paid purchase invoices to ACD as justification for bank transactions — without OCR processing, thus no automatic generation of purchase entries in ACD
- Bank transactions with attachments: retrieval in ACD via the banking module, allowing generation of bank entries in ACD
Activating automatic integration
- If you are a Qonto client, log in to your account and go to the menu Tools > Integrations
- If you are a Chartered Accountant, log in to the relevant client file via the Qontable Space and go to the same menu Tools > Integrations
- Select the category Accounting
- Search for ACD and follow the instructions to connect the account
Manual export of invoices
If you prefer a one-time export, the procedure varies depending on your role:
-
Qonto client (regardless of your plan):
- Go to the Purchases section (supplier invoices) or Sales (customer invoices)
- Click on Export at the top right
- Choose the desired period and download the file
-
Chartered Accountant (via the Qontable Space):
- Select the desired file from the list on the left
- Click on Download invoices (suppliers) or Export customer invoices
- Choose the desired period and download the file
⚠️ The selected period corresponds to the invoice import date in Qonto, not the invoice date itself.
How can I manually export bank transactions from Qonto?
The automatic ACD integration also covers bank transactions (see previous section). If you prefer a manual export, the procedure varies depending on your role.
-
Qonto client (regardless of your plan):
- Go to the Transactions section
- Click on Export transactions at the top right
- Choose the export type — you can include attachments, downloaded in a separate folder
-
Chartered Accountant (via the Qontable Space):
- Select the desired file from the list on the left
- Click on Access my Client Space at the top right
- Go to the menu Pro Account > Transactions
- Click on Export transactions at the top right
- Choose the export type — you can include attachments, downloaded in a separate folder
How can I set up automatic synchronization of accounting entries?
Full automatic synchronization of accounting entries (purchases, sales, expense reports, bank) and their attachments is available via the Qontable Space API, reserved for Chartered Accountants.
Qonto clients subscribed to the Business plan or higher can also access Qonto pre-accounting to generate entry files. See the dedicated article: How do I do my pre-accounting with Qonto?
Install the ACD API from the Qontable Space
- Log in to your Qontable Space and go to the Integrations menu
- Click Start at the bottom of the integrations page and follow the assistant steps
For complete API configuration and operation, see: How do APIs work to synchronize my accounting entries with Qonto?
Once the connection is established:
- The accounting reference of each file (chart of accounts, subsidiary accounts, journal codes) is automatically retrieved from ACD to your Qontable Space
- The entries generated by Qonto (purchases, sales, expense reports, bank entries) are synchronized to ACD upon validation
- You can modify API settings and connect new files from the Integrations page of the Qontable Space
Manual export of entries to ACD
If you prefer file export, go to the Ready to export tab in the Accounting menu of the file and click Export. Select the ACD In (.zip) format from the dropdown list.
