Paypal Accounting Software

PayPal Accounting Software

Accounting has never been easy for PayPal merchants. It involves users to manually download PayPal transaction history one month at a time, collate and combine the CSV data in Excel and then play around with formulas to get to final numbers. To make things even more time consuming and difficult, PayPal does not let users download transaction history right away. One needs to select a date range (of 31 days max), and then wait for the data to be collected by PayPal servers. Once ready, PayPal sends an email notification so that users can re-login to PayPal and download a month’s worth of transaction log. Now, we have a smart and faster way to get through this with a PayPal accounting software – PaySketchPaySketch makes it really easy to account for PayPal transactions – numbers, amount, fees etc. There is absolutely no need to download PayPal transaction history – just connect PaySketch to PayPal and it will automatically start pulling in all the PayPal transaction data onto your computer. Within a few seconds you get access to the most recent transaction data, while the rest is being downloaded in the background. At the same time, the analysis engine kicks in with number crunching while refreshing statistics as more transactions are downloaded.

Transactions Dashboard - shows all PayPal transactions and their details

A quick statical summary of transactions is shown right below the transactions grid – Transaction count/Number of transactions, Total Credits, Total Debits and the PayPal fees that has been paid. These numbers are calculated based upon the applied filters and search results generated through them. Otherwise, they show the account-wide details.

Clicking on any transaction gets you split-second access to its details on the right hand side panel. This includes a quick summary, along with order and shipping details if any are involved.
