Import PayPal mutations

In Yuki it is possible to import the data of PayPal as an electronic file. In Yuki all PayPal accounts will be placed in a separate Online payment providers group. 

One of the properties of a PayPal account is the absence of an account number. In Yuki we use your login email address for your PayPal account.

You have to submit your PayPal transactions in CSV format 'Kommagescheiden - Betalingen die het saldo beïnvloeden' in Yuki.

For a detailed description of uploading files in Yuki, see article Upload files from PO Box.
