Paypal feed not importing transactions

[Gempjd]

Hi

I am new to QuickFile and I set up a PayPal integration yesterday. I checked just now and no transaction have appeared (despite it saying that it would update overnight).

Can anyone help with what I may have done wrong? I used the automatic merchant program on the Banking dropdown.

Many thanks

Hi Gempjd,

It is difficult to say whats wrong from distance. 1st: Did you follow the steps in the link below?

Handling payments from merchant accounts

Many businesses these days receive daily payments from online payment providers like PayPal, GoCardless, Worldpay, SagePay etc as well as fixed terminal card systems like Streamline, Barclaycard Merchant Services, etc. Often we don’t want to spend the time putting in every single sales invoice into the accounting system and fortunately, we don’t need to. This guide will explain how to save time and log your sales in bulk. The basics When you upload your current account statement into QuickF…

2nd: Was there any transaction on your paypal account yesterday, did customer pay you or did you pay something yesterday? If you had no transaction yesterday then there is nothing to show in your paypal merchant account on quickfile. The auto-feed uploads only transaction from the day before. All other transaction before that day you have to enter manually, I think. It depends on your circumstances but you can also ad an opening balance. But if you need every single transaction you can upload all your paypal transaction data (as csv or so) to quickfile.
I hope this helps

Ah! OK thanks. That explains it. I didn’t realise it wouldn’t upload previous transactions.

Thank you
