    ## Connect Digital Surge to KoinX

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open KoinX Integrations">

    </Steps>

    <Check>
      **Done.** KoinX begins syncing your Digital Surge history. Large accounts may take a few minutes.

    ## API key notes

    <Note>
      * **Set the start date in Advanced settings** to cover your full Digital Surge history from account creation.
      * **Read Only is required** - keys with broader permissions may be rejected by KoinX as a security measure.
      * **2FA or SMS verification is required** during key creation - have your authentication method ready.
    </Note>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="File Upload">
    ## Download your Digital Surge transaction history

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Log in to Digital Surge">
        Go to [digitalsurge.com.au](https://www.digitalsurge.com.au) and sign in to your account.

      <Step title="Open Transaction History">
        Click the **menu icon (☰)** on the top right side of the screen and select **Transaction History** from the dropdown menu.

        <Warning>
          Download transaction reports from the day you created your Digital Surge account. Partial exports lead to missing transactions and inaccurate tax calculations.
        </Warning>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Select CSV and export">
        Scroll down, select **CSV** as the file format, and click **Export History** to download your transaction data. Do not open the file.

    </Note>

    ## Upload to KoinX

    <Note>
      If you used the **File Upload** tab above, follow these steps to complete your import. API Key users can skip this - your sync is already done.
    </Note>

        Log in to [app.koinx.com](https://app.koinx.com) -> **Integrations** -> **Add Integration**.

        Click **Upload** and select your downloaded Digital Surge CSV file.
      </Step>

    </Check>

    Now that your Digital Surge file is in, head to [Tax Reports](https://app.koinx.com/tax-report) on KoinX - your capital gains across trades, deposits, and withdrawals are already calculated and your report is ready to download.

    <Warning>
      **Never open the Digital Surge CSV file in Excel or Google Sheets before uploading.** This corrupts the file format. If you already did - re-export a fresh copy from Digital Surge.
    </Warning>

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Which method should I use - API Key or File Upload?">
    API Key is recommended for most users. It connects automatically, requires no file management, and syncs your full history when you set the start date correctly in Advanced settings. Use File Upload if you prefer manual control over which financial year's data is imported.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What date format does Digital Surge require for CSV exports?">
    Digital Surge requires dates in DD/MM/YYYY format - for example, 01/07/2023 for 1 July 2023. Using an incorrect format may result in an export error or missing records.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does KoinX sync Digital Surge transactions in real time?">
    No. File Upload does not support real-time syncing. To ensure your latest transactions are reflected in KoinX, generate and upload a fresh CSV following the steps above whenever needed. API Key users can trigger a manual re-sync from the Integrations panel.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Digital Surge provide tax reports directly?">
    No. Digital Surge does not provide tax-ready reports for direct filing. By integrating Digital Surge with KoinX via API or CSV upload, your full transaction history is imported and a compliant tax report is generated within minutes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does KoinX support Australian crypto tax rules?">
    Yes. KoinX supports ATO-compliant tax reports for Australia as well as 100+ other countries. After importing your Digital Surge data, select Australia to generate the correct report for your financial year.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="API key error on connection">
    Confirm the key was generated with Read Only permissions in **Digital Surge** -> **API Key** settings. Delete the credentials in KoinX and re-enter the key carefully - copy directly from Digital Surge to avoid invisible characters.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Transactions are missing after API sync">
    Check that the import start date in **Advanced** settings covers your full Digital Surge history from account creation. Trigger a manual re-sync from **KoinX** -> **Integrations** -> **Digital Surge** after adjusting the date.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="CSV file won't upload to KoinX">
    Re-download a fresh copy of the CSV from Digital Surge without opening it. Opening the file in Excel or Google Sheets reformats date and number columns, breaking the file structure KoinX expects. Confirm the file format is CSV only.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Transactions are missing after CSV upload">
    Check that the export date range covers your full Digital Surge trading history from account creation. Download separate files for each financial year if needed and upload all files together in one KoinX session.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="API sync keeps failing">
    Check the Digital Surge platform for ongoing maintenance. If the platform is operational, verify the key is still active under the **menu icon (☰)** -> **API Key**. Regenerate if expired, re-enter in KoinX, and trigger a fresh sync.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="KoinX is showing duplicate Digital Surge transactions">
    Check **KoinX** -> **Integrations** for duplicate Digital Surge connections and remove any extras. If both an API sync and a CSV upload were done for the same period, remove one and retain only a single connection method.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
