Ramp is a finance automation platform that saves businesses time and money by integrating corporate cards with refreshingly modern software to manage all non-payroll spend. With Clearing’s integration, property managers can now automate the process of importing, categorizing, and converting Ramp transactions into reimbursable transactions—making it easier to generate accurate owner statements and stay compliant with trust accounting.

NOTE: 💡 This integration helps automate expense tracking by mapping Ramp transactions to properties and owners in Clearing, enabling cleaner reconciliations and seamless owner reimbursements.

Step 1: Connect Your Ramp Account

From your Clearing dashboard, navigate to “Settings” > “Integrations”, then click “Connect”.

Connect your Ramp account.

Click connect to connect your Ramp account to Clearing.

Step 2: Import Ramp Transactions

Once connected, go to Import Transactions > Import from Third Parties > Ramp Transactions.

Import Ramp Transactions to Clearing.

Click import from 3rd party and select Ramp.

Here, you can:

  • Import historical transactions from a custom date range

  • Assign transactions from Ramp to a default journal account

  • Clearing will automatically refresh the most recent transactions on a daily basis

Pull transactions from Ramp.

By default, charges come into Clearing unconverted. You’ll see the date, amount, description, AI-enhanced merchant info, and any associated receipts.

Select the unconverted transactions to convert to reimbursable transactions.

Step 3: Set Up Category and Card Mappings

To automate categorization click “Settings” and proceed to:

  • Map Ramp’s internal categories to your Clearing Chart of Accounts.

    Map Ramp internal categories to Clearing's expense categories.

  • Assign specific Ramp cards to individual assets or homeowners.

    Assign specific Ramp cards to individual assets or owners in Clearing.

NOTE: 💡 Assign a card to a specific property or housekeeper. When a charge comes through that card, it automatically links to the appropriate asset and category.

Step 4: Convert Ramp Transactions to Reimbursable Transactions

For each Ramp charge you’d like to pass through to an owner statement:

  • Assign the correct category, asset, and homeowner (if not already mapped).

    Assign the correct category, asset, and homeowner.

  • Click Convert to Reimbursable Expense.

    Click convert to reimbursable expense.

Clearing will now:

  • Create a transaction with the full context (receipt, description, merchant)

  • Tag it as Reimbursable

  • Assign it to the correct asset

  • Include it in the appropriate owner statement

You are also able to automatically add mark-ups on Ramp transactions. This allows you to include any service cost or additional charges to deduct from the owner’s payout. It can be a set amount or a percentage based mark-up. Mark-ups are bundled in the total amount displayed on owner statements and owners do not see the breakdown.

Review the transaction details have been converted.

You can always review, edit, or delete these transactions later from your Transactions view. You can even un-convert a Ramp charge and/or delete a transaction if you need to.

Review converted transactions from Ramp for reimbursable expenses.

Review transaction details.

Step 5: Monitor Your Reimbursable Expenses

Converted Ramp transactions will now appear in your transaction feed, ready to be included on owner & financial statements. The original Ramp receipt and merchant description are preserved for audit and transparency.

Monitor your reimbursable expenses.

You can also open the original transaction directly in Ramp by clicking the linked reference inside the Clearing record.
