Data integration

Actuals has a fully automated integration with PayPal. With this integration Actuals is able to extract all PayPal transactions for reconciliation purposes on a daily basis. To retrieve data from PayPal Actuals uses the:
  • API integration method.
If it might not be possible to setup the API integration contact your Actuals implementation consultant for the alternative PayPal sFTP connection.

PayPal data verification

To support the month end close process Actuals provides reports that have a structure similar to PayPal reports. This makes it possible to easily verify the correctness and completeness of the registered PayPal data and save supporting documentation that can be used for the month end close process.
