It’s the 5th of the month. Your accountant has sent the same email for the third time: "Could you all please upload your receipts?" Half the team has forgotten, the bank statement still needs to be manually entered into Odoo, and the month-end close is already behind schedule.
If your company uses Qonto for banking and Odoo for accounting, this task can be eliminated. This guide explains the four ways to connect Qonto to Odoo in 2026, the data synchronized by each method, and how to choose the solution best suited to your team.
Why the connection between Qonto and Odoo is important in 2026
Without an integration, each Qonto transaction is entered or imported into Odoo twice: once as a bank statement line and once as an invoice accompanied by its receipt. The challenge rarely lies in the transaction itself, but rather in obtaining the corresponding receipt from the payer.
This is why finance teams spend the first few days of each month chasing up managers, re-entering VAT data, and manually reconciling line items. Furthermore, every missing receipt means a lack of proof of expenditure—and, consequently, an inability to recover deductible VAT.
The timeline is also significant. As of September 1, 2026, all businesses subject to VAT in France must be capable of receiving electronic invoices, and SMEs will be required to begin issuing them starting September 1, 2027. With the digitization of supplier invoices, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify a financial system in which the bank and the accounting software do not communicate with each other.). Avec la numérisation des factures fournisseurs, il devient plus difficile de justifier un système financier où la banque et le logiciel comptable ne communiquent pas entre eux.
The 4 ways to connect Qonto to Odoo
1. Manual export and import (CSV files or statements)
You export your Qonto statements and import them into Odoo on a weekly or monthly basis. It’s free and requires no setup. However, the process is slow, prone to errors, and does not handle receipts—you still have to collect them and attach them to each invoice.
2. EBICS integration built into Qonto
Qonto offers an Odoo integration via EBICS, available with its "Team" subscription plans. This integration allows for the import of Qonto bank statements into Odoo and enables authorized users to initiate SEPA transfers directly from within Odoo. The synchronization of statements depends on your Odoo settings and is not instantaneous.
The main limitation is indicated on the Qonto page: the integration only retrieves bank statements and does not synchronize receipts, invoices or other attachments (Qonto). It solves the problem of the bank statement, but not that of the receipts.
3. Odoo community and third-party modules
Some Odoo modules—whether free or paid—import Qonto transactions into Odoo via the Qonto API.
These solutions are ideal if you have a technical team or an Odoo partner. Someone will need to install the module, handle its maintenance during Odoo updates, and manage any API changes. Most of these solutions focus on transactions and bank statements rather than receipts and VAT.
4. A dedicated Qonto → Odoo connector (FANTO)
The FANTO Qonto → Odoo connector is designed to solve the challenge of managing receipts. Employees upload their receipts into the Qonto app—the same platform they already use to make payments. The connector then automatically imports these transactions and their associated attachments into Odoo.
- Receipts and attachments are synchronized, not just bank statements.
- Advanced VAT is already configured on synchronized invoices, so your team no longer needs to re-enter it.
- The system learns from your past approvals and suggests invoices based on how you have approved similar expenses previously.
- €5 per Qonto account per month, with a guided setup.
Side-by-side comparison
Only a dedicated connector eliminates the monthly scramble for receipts; other options stop at the bank statement level.
| Option | Banking operations | Receipts and attachments | VAT on invoices | Technical maintenance | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manual import of CSV files | Manual | No | Typed by hand | None | Free, but it requires staff time. |
| Qonto EBICS Integration | Yes, readings (not in real time) | No | Typed by hand | Weak | Included in Qonto Team plans |
| Community / third-party modules | Yes | It varies; generally, no. | Generally typed by hand | High: installation, updates, patches | From free to paid |
| FANTO Qonto → Odoo Connector | Yes | Yes, downloaded from Qonto | Preconfigured; draws insights from previous validations | None for your team | €5 per account per month |
How to connect Qonto to Odoo with FANTO, step by step
The installation is handled by the FANTO team and takes only a few minutes; it is not a development project.
- Sign up for early access and book your guided installation.
- Authorize your Qonto account so that the connector can read transactions and their attachments.
- Link each Qonto account to its corresponding Odoo bank journal. A Qonto account corresponds to a connected account.
- Check the VAT configuration suggested for your synchronized invoices and adjust it once, in accordance with your tax rules.
- Announce the new rule to your team: pay with Qonto, then scan the receipt using the Qonto app. Nothing else to keep track of.
- Validate invoices in Odoo. Receipts are attached, and each validation allows the connector to make more accurate suggestions for the next similar invoice.
Which option suits you best?
The right choice depends on how you use your time each month.
- You have very few transactions and plenty of time: manual import is sufficient.
- Your accountant only needs bank statements in Odoo: Qonto’s EBICS integration takes care of this, provided you have subscribed to a Qonto Team plan.
- If you have developers or an Odoo partner and want full control, a community module might be a suitable option—provided that someone is responsible for its maintenance.
- Your real problem lies in searching for receipts and re-entering VAT data: a dedicated connector is the only solution.
A quick test: count the number of hours your team spends each month chasing up receipts, performing reconciliations, and entering VAT data. If this exceeds one hour, then €5 per account per month is more cost-effective than the time being lost.
