Can I use an existing Google Sheet?

No. Slipsheet creates Slipsheet Ledger on the first confirmed receipt. It does not append to a sheet you already have.

What happens if I edit a row in Google Sheets?

Edits you make only in Sheets stay until that receipt changes in Slipsheet. A new confirm appends a row. Editing a receipt that already synced updates that same row.

What if I disconnect Google Sheets?

Disconnect from Connections, or revoke Slipsheet in your Google account. Existing rows stay. New receipts stop syncing until you connect again.

Q: Does Slipsheet see all my Google Drive files?

No. Slipsheet uses the drive.file scope, creates Slipsheet Ledger, and only reads and writes that file. Other Drive files are not visible.

Q: Which plan includes Google Sheets sync?

Pro. Starter exports the CSV, which you can open in Google Sheets yourself. Live sync requires Pro.

On the Pro plan, connect Google once. The first confirmed receipt creates a spreadsheet named Slipsheet Ledger. Each later confirm appends a row: Date, Merchant, Category, Amount, Currency, Tax, Client, Notes.

§ 01 — The Method

Snap it. Sheets has it.

Connect with Google OAuth on the Pro plan. Slipsheet creates the spreadsheet. From then on, every confirmed receipt writes the next row.

01 Step 1

Connect your Google account.

From Connections, on the Pro plan. OAuth uses the drive.file scope. Slipsheet creates Slipsheet Ledger and only reads and writes that file.

Scope · drive.file · Pro plan

02 Step 2

Slipsheet creates the sheet.

You do not pick an existing spreadsheet. On the first confirmed receipt, Slipsheet creates one named Slipsheet Ledger, with a tab named Receipts. Row 1 is Date, Merchant, Category, Amount, Currency, Tax, Client, Notes.

03 Step 3

Confirm. It writes.

A newly confirmed receipt is appended. If you later edit that receipt in Slipsheet, the same sheet row is updated. The CSV export is separate, and it is the file that carries file_name.

§ 02 — What syncs

Every field, itemised.

The columns written to Slipsheet Ledger, in this order. Renaming or reordering them in Google Sheets does not change the next sync.

Case · 01

Freelancers who file once a quarter.

Confirm receipts as they happen. By quarter-end, Slipsheet Ledger already has a row per receipt. Pivot and sum it in Sheets.

Case · 02

Agencies tracking reimbursables.

Tag the client on the receipt. It lands in the Client column of the same Slipsheet Ledger. One spreadsheet, not one file per client.

Case · 03

Anyone who also needs a file.

Sheets sync and the CSV export are separate. The CSV is slipsheet-YYYYMMDD.csv, and it is what you open in Excel or import into QuickBooks or Xero.

§ 04 — The old way vs. Slipsheet

Put down the data entry.

Manual data entry

Typing receipts into Sheets.

✗ Open each receipt, squint at the total, type it in.
✗ Remember whether that was the tax or the total.
✗ Lose the pile until the quarter closes.
✗ Re-key a month of slips the night before you file.
✗ Pay someone else to do the above.

Slipsheet + Google Sheets

Snap, confirm, it's in the sheet.

✓ Drop a photo or forward an email.
✓ Fix the field the model squinted at, then confirm.
✓ A row appears in Slipsheet Ledger.
✓ Edit the receipt later and that same row updates.
✓ Export the CSV when you need a file, not a live sheet.

§ 05 — Questions, answered

The fine print.

No. We use the drive.file scope. Slipsheet creates Slipsheet Ledger and only reads and writes that file. Nothing else in your Drive is visible to us.

No. Slipsheet creates a spreadsheet named Slipsheet Ledger the first time a confirmed receipt syncs. It does not append to a sheet you already have.

Edits you make only in Sheets stay until that receipt changes in Slipsheet. Confirming a new receipt appends a row. Editing a receipt that already synced updates that same row.

No. One Google connection writes one spreadsheet, Slipsheet Ledger. Client tags share the Client column. They do not fan out to separate sheets.

Pro. Starter still exports the CSV, which you can open in Google Sheets yourself. The connect button is on the Pro plan.

Disconnect from the Connections page, or revoke Slipsheet in your Google account. Rows already in the sheet stay. New receipts stop syncing until you connect again.
