PayPal Reporting

PayPal Reporting has been one of the most requested feature by our users, and we’ve kept on adding new reports and features after its introduction in version 4.3 as a completely new dashboard dedicated to reporting. Users can now create a complete Financial, Sales, Subscriptions, Products and Countries Report within a matter of a couple of seconds. But it’s not limited to just what PayPal offers – PaySketch users can create PayPal reports for more than just 30 or 90 days. This has been one of the major limitation that PayPal has put in for its account holders when they try to create PayPal reports. Using the PaySketch Reporting dasbhoard, you can now create PayPal reports for any date range!

If you don’t have PaySketch installed already, then download a free copy to start with. Install and open PaySketch. Navigate to the Reporting Dashboard from the dashboard selection dropdown menu.

PayPal Sales Report

The PayPal Sales report gives an in-depth review into sales, payments, refunds, credits and debits on a date wise basis.

Click on the Generate Report button and wait for a few seconds (depending on the amount of data) for the report to be generated. It will also be visible right below the report criteria section. When using PaySketch, there is no limitation on the number of days for which you can generate the Sales Report. PayPal’s website limits users to select a date range to a max of 31 days.

  • Amount refunded
  • Fees that has been refunded
