PayPal in IDA: post incoming payments properly

PayPal transactions arrive bundled and with fees. IDA runs them like an account of their own: every payment, every fee, every payout - matchable to a document.

What IDA reads from PayPal

  • Payments and refunds
  • Fees
  • Payouts to the bank account

What IDA does with it

  • Payments can be matched to documents instead of vanishing into a lump posting
  • Fees appear as their own item in the reports

Who it is for

Businesses using PayPal in the shop or on invoices.

Setup: Store API access, define the clearing account.

Every integration in IDA has its own switch. Turn it off and it disappears completely - including the columns, filters and reports that belong to it. You only see what you actually use.

Vendor website: PayPal. PayPal is a trademark of its respective owner; IDA connects to the system technically, which implies no partnership.

Yes, a clearing account. That is exactly what keeps the payment at the provider and the money at the bank cleanly apart.
