How to import the QIF file
Quicken (Windows)
- Go to File, then File Import, then QIF File.
- Select the .qif file from FileInto.
- Choose the Quicken account to import into, then Next.
- Review the imported transactions in the register.
Other apps
- Look for Import, then QIF in the File menu (Banktivity, Moneydance, MoneyWiz and others).
- Select the .qif file from FileInto.
- Pick the account to import into.
- Check the date format your app asks for: FileInto writes month first (10/03/2026).
What FileInto looks for in your file
| Column | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Date | 10/01/2026 | The sale date. |
| Description | 2 x Latte, 1 x Croissant | The items sold. Fee lines keep it in the memo. |
| Total Collected and Fees | $22.53 and -$0.71 | Total Collected (with tax and tips) becomes the sale; Fees becomes a separate Square fee line. |
Problems and fixes
- Your app shows only the net amount
- Leave "Split fees into their own lines" on. Each Square sale then comes in at its full amount with a separate Square fee line, so income and fees are both right.
- Pending or failed payments are missing
- They are skipped on purpose. Only completed payments belong in your books; export again after Square finishes them.
- Payouts look like expenses
- Payouts move money from Square to your bank. In your app, match or categorize them as a transfer to your bank account, not an expense.
- Quicken won’t import QIF into a bank account
- Recent Quicken versions only accept QIF for some account types. Use QFX instead: switch "Save as" to QFX for Quicken.
- Transactions are duplicated
- QIF has no transaction ids, so apps can’t tell what you already imported. Import each date range once, or use OFX or QFX, which carry ids.
- Dates are wrong
- QIF dates are written month first. If your app expects day first, check its import date setting.
Questions
- Why use Total Collected and not Net Sales?
- Total Collected is what the customer paid, including tax and tips, which is the money that moved. Net Sales leaves those out.
- What is a QIF file?
- QIF (Quicken Interchange Format) is an older plain-text format for transactions. Many apps still read it, but it has no ids to prevent duplicates.
- Which account should I import into?
- Create a separate account in your app named Square. Sales and fees land there, and Square payouts become transfers to your real bank account.
- Is my Square file uploaded?
- No. FileInto converts it inside your browser tab. Your file never reaches our servers, and nothing about it does either: not its name, its size or how many rows it has.
- Can I get a QuickBooks file instead?
- Yes. Switch "Save as" to QBO, or use the Square to QuickBooks converter.
- What are the limits?
- Files up to 25 MB. Every file gets a full preview free. Downloads up to 25 transactions are free, no account needed; a Day Pass ($9 for 24 hours) or Unlimited ($7 a month) has no row limit. It works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, on computers and phones.
