PayPal is an international e-commerce business allowing 
payments and money transfers to be made through the 
Internet for a fee. Millions of companies use PayPal and if you 
are one of them or are considering becoming a user you may 
be wondering how to get the information from PayPal into 
QuickBooks. 
Depending on the volume of PayPal transactions you have, 
manually recording PayPal transactions in QuickBooks may not 
be an option. One way to record a PayPal transaction manually 
would be to generate an invoice and record the payment 
individually for each sale.  Luckily, PayPal activity can be 
exported to an Intuit Interchange Format (.iif) file and easily 
imported into QuickBooks.
