Where can a new business use Wave?
Wave says it is available to businesses in the United States and Canada and excludes US territories. Check the country first, then see whether the specific bank and payment features you need are available.
What does Wave Pro add to Starter?
Starter lists a zero subscription price and unlimited invoice and bookkeeping records. Pro lists automatic imports for eligible bank connections and regular prices of US$19 or CA$25 per business profile per month.
Creating an invoice, sending it through Wave and accepting online payment are separate features. Check the current plan table for your sending method and any payment requirements or fees.
How would you spot a transaction counted twice?
Wave’s Transactions page lets you view entries by account and open its reconciliation view. On paper, put a fictional $97 deposit beside the same $97 entry you had already recorded by hand.
Use the date and payout reference to see whether both rows describe one deposit. Compare to the bank statement and investigate an unmatched or duplicate entry before changing your books. This exercise needs no bank connection.
Can you download transactions and invoice details?
Wave’s Data Export is scoped to the selected business profile. It offers accounting and receipt exports and excludes Viewer and Editor roles from that control.
The export help lists the included accounting files. Wave Connect, a separate Google Sheets integration, documents invoice downloads with optional line items and payment details. Confirm those fields and any receipt images are in your handoff before changing tools.
