Hi jason-yuen-healt, 

 

I can share some information about connecting PayPal in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

In the meantime, PayPal connection is available only in QBO US and UK that's why you're unable to connect it. You'll want to manually upload your PayPal transactions to QBO to keep track of your financial records. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Go to your bank's website and follow their instructions on how to export bank transactions through a .QBO, .CSV, and .QFX file format. 
  2. Save the exported transactions on your computer.
  3. Log in to QuickBooks Online.
  4. Click the Banking or Transactions menu and then Banking.
  5. Select Upload from file in the Link account dropdown.
  6. Click Browse and select the downloaded file.

After this process, the events will flow in the For Review tab. From there, you can start categorising and matching them in the system. 

 

If there's anything else that you need hel with, you can always mention me in your reply. I'll be here to help. Take care!

You may need a connector.
