About PayPal statements

PayPal provides downloadable PDF statements for each monthly period. For large volumes of transactions, PayPal also offers CSV downloads directly — but for accountants who receive client PDFs, LedgerLift accurately extracts the transaction table from PayPal-formatted statements.

Your PayPal statements are processed in encrypted private storage and never used for AI training or shared with third parties.

Frequently asked questions about PayPal conversion

Can I also download PayPal transactions directly as CSV?
Yes — PayPal offers a native CSV download from the Activity page. LedgerLift is most useful when you have a PDF statement (from a client, for example) rather than direct portal access.
Does LedgerLift handle PayPal business statements?
Yes. PayPal business monthly statements including sales, refunds, fees, and transfer activity are all extracted accurately.
How accurate is PayPal statement extraction?
PayPal digital PDFs typically extract at 99%+ accuracy. Review the table before downloading to catch any edge cases.
Can I process multiple months of PayPal statements at once?
Accountant plan users can batch-upload multiple PDFs. Pro and Free users upload one at a time.
Are PayPal fees extracted separately from transaction amounts?
Yes. PayPal fee rows appear as separate line items in the extracted table, matching the statement layout.
