What Our Users Say
Been searching for something like this for months. Our Shopify store processes 500+ orders monthly and this handles everything perfectly. Date formats, tax columns, refunds - all correct.
works good, wish it had batch mode
I was spending 4-5 hours every month reformatting exports manually. This tool paid for itself in the first use. The preview feature helped me verify the mapping before paying.
exactly what i needed thx!!
Super straightforward. Upload, convert, download. No account needed which is nice. Would give 5 stars if they add Xero support.
saved me hours of work
My accountant was so happy when I sent her the converted file. No more back-and-forth about date formats or missing columns. Everything imported correctly on first try.
fast and easy 10/10 would recommend
Been using this for 6 months for monthly reconciliations. Handles all the edge cases - partial refunds, multi-line orders, currency conversions. Very reliable tool.
Good tool, does what it says. Interface could be bit better but conversion quality is excellent. Using it for my 3 Shopify stores.
Switched from A2X to this. Way simpler for my needs - I don't need real-time sync, just clean data once a month. This delivers exactly that.
finally!! something that works with QB desktop!!

Why Convert PayPal to Wave?
Track PayPal Business Income
PayPal is widely used for freelance payments, e-commerce sales, and contractor income. Wave Accounting
requires proper transaction tracking but doesn't have direct PayPal integration for all account types.
This tool converts PayPal's Activity Download CSV into Wave's bank transaction format, allowing you to:
- Track all PayPal income and expenses in Wave
- 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 users prefer fee split mode for accurate expense categorization in Wave.
Your Data is Safe
Bank-Level Security
256-bit SSL encryption. Same standards as major financial institutions.
No Data Storage
Files are processed directly in browser. No calls to our servers.
GDPR Compliant
Full EU data protection compliance. Your privacy rights protected.

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.
Wave 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 Wave 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 Wave, then record transfers as movements between PayPal and Bank accounts to avoid duplication.
Export matching your Wave 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 Wave, you can filter or categorize refund transactions separately.
Wave discontinued direct PayPal integration to improve reliability. You can now import via CSV uploads, Wave Connect, or third-party automation platforms like Zapier.
Go to Reports > Activity Download > Balance Affecting in PayPal, then download the CSV file for your desired date range.
Wave requires only three columns: Date, Description, and Amount. Remove all other columns before uploading.
Fees must be entered as separate transactions in Wave. Export the fee column separately and categorize as 'Merchant Gateway Fees.'
