Finly + PayPal
Payments · Two-way sync · Live since 2025 · About 10 minutes to connect
What it does
Finly reads PayPal's settlements as they clear and separates the fee from the takings before either reaches the ledger. Multi-currency balances come across at the rate that actually applied, not at the rate on the day you looked.
What syncs
What moves, and which way.
Both directions, on every sync.Nothing here is a nightly batch —a record that changes at 14:02 is in the ledger before you look at it.
PayPal → Finly
- Sales, refunds and chargebacks, as they settle
- Settlement batches, with the fee split preserved
- Transaction fees, posted to their own account
- Currency balances and the conversion rate applied
- Invoice and order references, carried through
- Holds and reserves, flagged rather than netted
Finly → PayPal
- Ledger account codes, written back as metadata
- Reconciliation status on every settlement
- Entity tag, so a multi-entity group stays separate
Connected
What it looks like once it is on.
Every settlement, already split.
Gross, processing fees and refunds land as separate lines against the same PayPal settlement, each on its own account.The bank line that arrives two days later matches without anyone touching it.
Before you start
What you need, and what it will not do.
You need a PayPal account with owner or administrator access and a Finly plan that includes bank feeds, which means Core and above.One PayPal account maps to one Finly entity, so a group running several entities connects each one separately —that separation is also what keeps the fee accounts apart at the close.Nothing is installed, and the key never leaves Finly.
Two things it deliberately will not do.It will not move money:Finly reads PayPal and never initiates a payout, a refund or a transfer, so a bad sync cannot cost you anything.And it will not rewrite history —activity that settled before you connected stays exactly as it is unless you ask for the ninety-day backfill, which is a separate run and a reversible one.
