Accounting integration
Pennylane connector for event venues.
Invoices sync on their own.
Every finalized invoice and credit note goes to Pennylane on its own, with the client and the attachment. Your accountant gets a complete set of records, and you stop exporting anything.
Automatic push
Finalized invoices and credit notes are sent to Pennylane as they are issued. No end-of-month export.
Clients and attachments included
The client record and the PDF travel with each invoice, so the accounting entry is complete.
Sync you can audit
Synced, pending and error counts are visible in your settings. You see exactly what reached Pennylane.
What the Pennylane integration does
Invoices and credit notes go from Joinways to Pennylane without a manual export.
Invoices arrive on their own
Each finalized invoice lands in Pennylane with its amounts, its client and its PDF. Credit notes follow the same path.
Clients kept consistent
The client on the invoice is created once in Pennylane, then reused for every later invoice.
Auto-sync you control
Automatic sending is on by default and can be switched off. A status view shows synced, pending and failed documents.

Before you start
- Access to the developer settings of your Pennylane company, to create an API token.
- Write access on customer invoices, customers and file attachments: Joinways checks these permissions before saving the token.
- An owner or admin role on the Joinways workspace.
- Invoices issued through Stripe or by Joinways: those are the documents sent to Pennylane.
What goes to Pennylane
- Finalized invoices, with their amounts and PDF attached
- Finalized credit notes, through the same path as invoices
- Client records, created or matched in Pennylane
- Sync statuses: synced, pending, error
- Nothing else: drafts and proposals never reach the books
Security and access
- The token is checked with Pennylane, then stored encrypted. It is never displayed again.
- Joinways creates customers, uploads invoice PDFs and imports invoices and credit notes. It does not read your accounting entries.
- Each document carries a unique reference, so a repeated send never creates a duplicate invoice in Pennylane.
- Only the owner and admins can switch automatic sending off or disconnect. Disconnecting deletes the token; documents already sent stay in Pennylane.
What it does not do
- Invoices issued on Qonto are not sent to Pennylane.
- Credit notes are sent only when they are issued on Stripe.
- Documents finalized while automatic sending is off are not sent later, and there is no resend button yet.
- Voiding an invoice or receiving a payment does not update Pennylane.
- A customer you already created in Pennylane is not matched: Joinways creates its own record for that client.
How to connect Pennylane to Joinways
The connection uses a Pennylane API token that you create in your Pennylane settings. It is stored encrypted and never displayed again.
- 1
Open the developer settings in Pennylane
In Pennylane, go to Settings, then Connectivity, then Developers.
- 2
Create an API token
Grant it the customer invoices, customers and attachments permissions, read and write.
- 3
Paste the token in Joinways
In Settings, Integrations, Pennylane, paste the token. It is stored encrypted.
- 4
Turn on auto-sync
Finalized invoices and credit notes start flowing to Pennylane, with clients and attachments.
Where it helps day to day
Month-end close without an export
End of month: your accountant opens Pennylane and everything is already there, invoices, credit notes, PDFs. Nobody exported a CSV or attached documents one by one.
The credit note that no longer gets lost
A partial cancellation generates a credit note. It reaches Pennylane like the invoice it corrects: the accountant sees both, the books stay consistent.
The e-invoice for a French business client
The client is a company with a SIREN. When the invoice reaches Pennylane, Joinways asks Pennylane to convert it into an e-invoice. Nobody re-keys it.
Why plug your venue billing into Pennylane?
Venues that bill from their event tool and keep books in Pennylane usually bridge the two by hand: monthly exports, PDFs attached one by one, client records typed twice. It works, but sooner or later an invoice goes missing at closing time or a credit note never reaches the accountant.
The integration makes the bridge automatic. Invoices and credit notes finalized in Joinways are pushed to Pennylane as they are issued, complete with client and attachment. Your accountant works from a ledger that is always current, and closing the month no longer means digging through old files.
And without the Pennylane integration?
Someone exports the invoices each month, attaches the PDFs and types new clients into Pennylane.
A missing invoice turns up at closing, a forgotten credit note at the audit, and the accountant has to go looking for both.
