How to use the templates in the Template Store

Neste artigo

You can access the templates from the Banana Accounting Plus Template Store in several ways. The first two options require that you have downloaded and installed Banana Accounting Plus on your computer. Here are the different methods:

  • From our Template Store – you can download the selected template and open it with Banana Accounting Plus.
  • With the Banana Web App – Banana version that runs in your browser. A very useful mode for testing. You will then need to save the file locally.
  • From Banana Accounting Plus – via the File > New menu, which shows the templates available in the Template Store.

Download the template from the Template Store

On each template’s page in the Template Store, you will find detailed information about the contents of the template and several options for opening it:

  • Click on the Download template link and save it to your computer. For some files, a Tutorial is available — a template with several example transactions. Tutorials are generally created to show reports, specific printouts, or Banana functions that require a larger data base. In some cases, both the Template and the Tutorial are available.
  • Launch Banana and open the file you just downloaded.
    If it was saved in the temporary folder, a message will appear indicating that the file is read-only.
  • Save the file with your own name in the working folder you prefer.

Open the template with the Web App

On each template’s page in the Template Store, you will also find a button to open the template (or tutorial) with the Web App. This is a version of Banana Accounting Plus that runs in your browser. By clicking the Open template with Web App button and waiting a few seconds, Banana Accounting Plus will launch in your browser and then immediately open the template. The Web App is a very useful way to try things out and see what Banana Accounting Plus has to offer, even before purchasing a subscription. You will then need to save the file locally.

Choose and open a template from the program

  • Launch Banana Accounting Plus and use the command from the File > New menu.
  • Search for the template you are interested in using the various filters.
  • When you find it, click on Create.

Search for a template using the Template ID

Each template in the Template Store has its own unique identifier called Template ID, which starts with a plus sign "+", for example: +10685. Another way to open a template in Banana Accounting Plus is as follows:

  • Take note of the Template ID of the template you are interested in from our Template Store.
  • Launch Banana Accounting Plus and use the command from the File > New menu.
  • In the Filter by field, enter the Template ID of your template.
  • Click on Create.

Save the template file with your name

Once the file is created from the template, you must save it by giving it a name. 
We recommend using your company name and the accounting year as the file name. For example: "company-2025.ac2".
The ".ac2" format is used for Banana Accounting files. We also recommend visiting the pages Managing folders and files and Organizing your work.

Customize the template

We offer templates that are already preset for various needs, but you can always adapt your file. We recommend checking the page Getting started.
