Ponto
=====
**Ponto** is a service that allows companies and professionals to aggregate their accounts in one
place and directly see all their transactions within one app. It is a third-party solution that is
continuously expanding the number of bank institutions that can be synchronized with Odoo.
**Odoo** can synchronize directly with your bank to get all bank statements imported automatically
into your database.
Ponto is a paid third-party provider that can handle the synchronization between your bank accounts
and Odoo.

#. Finish the flow.
.. note::
You have to authorize all the accounts you want to access in Odoo, but Odoo will filter the
accounts based on the institution you selected in the second step.
Update your synchronization credentials

:ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>`, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration -->
Online Synchronization`, and select the institution from which you want to fetch the other
accounts. Click :guilabel:`Fetch Accounts` to start the flow.
.. note::
During the update, select **all accounts** you want to synchronize, even the ones coming from
other banking institutions.
Fetch new accounts
------------------
To add new online accounts to your connection, activate the :ref:`developer mode <developer-mode>`,
go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Online Synchronization`, and select the
institution from which you want to fetch the other accounts. Click :guilabel:`Fetch Accounts` to
start the flow.
.. note::
Don't forget to keep authorization for existing accounts (for all institutions that you have
synchronized with Ponto).
FAQ
===
After my synchronization, no account appears
--------------------------------------------
You selected an institution from the list and did not authorize any accounts from this institution.
I have an error about that my authorization has expired
-------------------------------------------------------
Every **6 months** (180 days) you must re-authorize the connection between your bank account
and Ponto. This must be done from the `Ponto website <https://myponto.com>`_. If you do not
do this, the synchronization will stop for these accounts.
I have some errors with my beta institution
-------------------------------------------
Ponto provides institutions in *beta*, these institutions are not directly supported by Odoo
and we advise you to contact Ponto directly.
.. important::
Using an institution in beta is beneficial for Ponto, it allows them to have real
feedback on the connection with the institution.
