Known issues / Roadmap

• Only transactions for the previous three years are retrieved, historical data can be imported manually, see account_bank_statement_import_paypal. See PayPal Help Center article for details.
• PayPal Transaction Info defines extra fields like tip_amount, shipping_amount, etc. that could be useful to be decomposed from a single transaction.
• There’s a known issue with PayPal API that on every Monday for couple of hours after UTC midnight it returns INVALID_REQUEST incorrectly: their servers have not inflated the data yet. PayPal tech support confirmed this behaviour in case #06650320 (private).
