Connect publisher billing with accounting

Use RunMags to sell, invoice and collect, then smoothly transfer customers and revenue information to the correct accounts in your favorite accounting system for Profit & Loss management. Never enter the same information twice into different systems.

Smooth Accounting

Manage your P&L without dual entries

When you operate your business on RunMags, you eliminate the need for cumbersome dual-entry of data in your commercial process. The product information, pricing and delivery terms used in advertising bookings automatically flow into your billing confirmation before invoices are emailed out to clients. Readers who subscribe online can also pay by card through your own connected Stripe account.

With that being said, you cannot manage the cost side of things in RunMags. RunMags can only help you generate revenue. But using one of our accounting system integrations, you can further automate the flow of information so that the client and invoice information is transferred to your accounting system for reconciliation and book keeping. RunMags provides the revenue so that you can run your P&L in your accounting system.

Built for the cloud and integrations

The common denominator for the accounting platforms we integrate with is that they are cloud platforms and have an API (Application Programming Interface) that we can use as a connector between RunMags and the accounting system. We try to create and maintain integrations with the most popular platforms available globally and in local markets. Check them out below and also let us know if there is another platform you think we should integrate with.

Define which team owns each part of the finance process

Publisher accounting works best when sales and finance agree what information belongs in the handover. Identify the customer, legal entity, products, agreed amounts and account mapping that need to be reviewed. An advertising agreement and an invoice represent different stages, so staff should understand when a sale is ready for billing and which evidence supports it.

RunMags accounting options include QuickBooks, Xero and Fortnox. Confirm the current scope and setup for your chosen service. During a trial or demo, follow a representative invoice through the proposed connection, then review an exception with the people responsible for reconciliation. Do not assume that every integration has identical synchronization behavior.

Keep the decision practical: document the mapping, assign responsibility for checks and resolve questions before switching a live finance workflow. Explore publisher billing and integration planning, or book a walkthrough with the team.

If more than one legal entity operates your magazines, make that clear at the start of the discussion. The accounting handover should reflect the business structure that issues and reconciles the invoices.
