Why Convert PayPal to QuickBooks?

Track PayPal Business Income

PayPal is widely used for freelance payments, e-commerce sales, and contractor income. QuickBooks requires proper transaction tracking but doesn't have direct PayPal integration for all account types. This tool converts PayPal's Activity Download CSV into QuickBooks' bank transaction format, allowing you to: - Track all PayPal income and expenses in QuickBooks - Separate PayPal fees for tax deductions - Reconcile PayPal payments with bank deposits - Maintain accurate business bookkeeping

Fee Tracking Options

PayPal charges fees on most transactions. This tool offers two modes: Net Mode (default): Uses the net amount (after fees). Simple and clean - one row per transaction. Fee Split Mode: Creates two rows per transaction - gross income + separate fee expense. This gives you detailed fee tracking for tax deductions and profitability analysis. Most accountants prefer fee split mode for accurate expense categorization in QuickBooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your data never leaves your device. All files are processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript - no data is stored on our servers or sent anywhere. There's no account to hack, no database storing your files, and no API connections to your bank or accounting software. You upload, convert, download, and we forget it immediately.
No payment or signup required. You can upload your file, see a free preview of the conversion results, and verify everything looks correct before paying anything. If it doesn't work for your files, you haven't wasted any money. We only charge when you're satisfied and ready to download the final converted file.
You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.
Yes, if you want to track PayPal fees separately as business expenses for tax deductions. Fee split mode creates two rows per transaction: the gross income and the fee expense. This matches real-world accounting where fees are legitimate business expenses. Use net mode only if you prefer simple one-row-per-transaction tracking.
QuickBooks requires each account to use a single currency. If your PayPal export has multiple currencies, use the currency filter to create separate files for each currency. Import each to its corresponding QuickBooks account (e.g., USD transactions to USD PayPal account, EUR to EUR account).
Log into PayPal Business → Reports → Activity Download → Select 'Customize download fields' → Choose date range → Download CSV. You can export up to 12 months at a time, with maximum 7 years of history available.
PayPal withdrawals to your bank will appear in both PayPal export and bank feed. Import PayPal transactions to a 'PayPal Clearing' account in QuickBooks, then record transfers as movements between PayPal and Bank accounts to avoid duplication.
Export matching your QuickBooks accounting period (monthly or quarterly). PayPal allows max 12 months per export. If you need more history, download multiple exports and convert each separately.
Refunds appear in the PayPal export with Type='Refund'. The converter preserves this in the description. After importing to QuickBooks, you can filter or categorize refund transactions separately.
Duplicates occur when both PayPal and your connected bank account import the same transaction. Exclude PayPal transactions if your bank account already includes them.
You can import up to 18 months of historical PayPal transactions into QuickBooks when setting up the connection.
A transfer moves money between accounts, while a deposit records sales into undeposited funds. Use deposits to group multiple PayPal sales into one bank deposit entry.
First check the Banking section. If not found, manually add the transaction by clicking New and matching your PayPal statement details.
