  • "Wave is recentering focus on our local market and making some changes for customers outside the US and Canada. Your Wave account remains active, but we understand you will likely begin looking for a platform better suited to your needs." I live outside of the united states. Would my account eventually be discontinued?

  • Does anyone have a change history for the Terms of Service on Payment Accounts? I'm working to build a history of the changes for a project I'm doing. It doesn't appear that the changes are transparent or noticed properly.

  • Hi, There is a customer we stopped working with so we refunded him some of the money he paid us by bank transfer. How can I record this on an invoice? It is not possible to enter a negative amount in the invoices. Thank you.

  • Hi all, When creating a new wave account, only the United States and Canada appear in the drop-down menu for selecting country. Therefore, only CAD and USD currencies are available. Is this a bug and how can it be fixed? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V9JFmGKzxJhe-nyQVIwMIleBdZQYl8jt/view?usp=sharing

  • I have more than one rental property and have set each up as it's own "company" for individual P/L reporting. However, they use the same bank account for management. Is there a way to link each "company" to one general bank account in the chart of accounts so the bank balance stays correct?

  • Good day, I saw a post on LinkedIn yesterday that said Wave's services for South African clients is coming to an end on 31 December 2020. Is this true?

  • I want to export all my invoice data, including receipts so I can prepare for taxes. The help bot on the site says there's a 'Data Export' option under Settings, but it's not there. What am i doing wrong? I didn't scroll down far enough to see the option.

  • Our Australian business only joined Wave earlier this year and started using from the 1st of July. Now with the news WAVE is blocking all new non-US/Canada businesses, I'm very thankful we started when we did. WAVE has been a fantastic improvement on our last two financial systems. We are a major user of the API to automate our processes, and W…

    Hey there, I have 4 vendors that I work with on a regular basis. I got them all to create separate Wave accounts for their corresponding businesses. However now when they send me invoices, I have to manually download the PDFs and add them to my system. Is there a way, I can just forward that Wave invoice email to receipts@ and get it automated. Ot…

  • Hi Wavers, With the depriotisation of Wave for non US and Canada customers, I found Traction Apps, to be the next best option - www.tractionapps.co. They have the invoicing solution, and even a retail management solution....all with payments integrated. they have integrated with accounting solutions Good luck

We both have equal shares in the company and before we had a business bank account we were using our personal accounts and credit cards to make payments for all necessary expenses. Thankfully we've kept all of our receipts. For all of these initial expenses, is…

  • Firstly, I am so terribly, terribly disappointed to hear that you are pulling back from full support for non-US/Canada users. Would a financial incentive bring you back? Could you implement a 'fee per invoice' charge to your users, IE $0.40 /invoice? This would be in addition to your credit card (Stripe?) income, and would be charged automaticall…

  • Hi all, not sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but I was wondering whether is there any feature in wave that allows to calculate the value of two accounts/category on a specific date. Since sub-category or sub-accounts are not yet available, sometimes I find myself recording transactions which are relevant to a single project but split in d…

  • Greetings, I run a very small corp and it looks like Wave is excellent for everything EXCEPT filing taxes. It also doesn't export GIFI files that can be imported into a tax software like TaxTron. Does anyone know of a good converter if I export in a different format? What do most people use when filing taxes after using Wave for accounting? Thanks…
