possible to download my orders from PayPal?

[David T.]

I do not use any business features of Gnucash, but I will hazard the guess that Gnucash will not address your needs, as stated.

Gnucash supports a limited number of import formats (such as OFX and QIF). I don't know of any such standard for the kind of information you are hoping to import.

I see that PayPal offers an export report in some sort of spreadsheet format; you would have to use that in conjunction with a spreadsheet-to-qif converter for any transactions, the result of which would be importable as a QIF. However, there is no support for importing customer information, as far as I know. Furthermore, Gnucash is not an inventory control software package. For those features, you'd have to write the code.

Subject: possible to download my orders from PayPal?
 

About 2 weeks ago I posted this question but I have not received a single reply. So I'm asking again. 


I sell my products online with the orders going into a PayPal shopping cart and payments processed by PayPal. Can anyone tell me, step-by-step, how to download my 
sales orders directly into GnuCash?  Ideally it will add the new 
customer details or recognize repeat customers. Also, it will list the 
items purchased and quantity for each person, producing a sales invoice and packing slip.
 
Thanks in advance.
