Paypal

Edit - Payment from PP

Thanks for sharing the details of your concern, @Hunter501. I'm here to make sure you can avoid getting duplicate transactions while receiving your invoice payments in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

If you have synced your QBO account with the PayPal app, then it may be the reason why it's getting doubled. To fix this, we can omit the duplicate transactions manually. Here's how: 

1. Go to the Accounting menu and select the Chart of Accounts tab.
2. Find the account register in question. 
3. Select View register from the Action column.
   
   
4. Click the duplicate transaction then select the Delete button.
5. Choose Yes in the confirmation window.
   
   

If you have linked your PayPal bank feeds account to QBO, instead of adding the transaction, you'll have to match the downloaded transaction to the posted payment from PayPal.

Additionally, I encourage you to reconcile your accounts every month. This way, you can effectively manage your income and expenses and detect any possible errors accordingly. For the detailed steps, you can refer to this article: Learn the reconcile workflow in QuickBooks.

Many thanks for the reply. So to answer my question QB will duplicate the transaction? Yes? 

Thanks for getting back to this thread, @Hunter501. Let me chime in and clarify things for you.

The answer to your question regarding your Paypal payments is Yes. There will be a duplicate if your app is synced with QuickBooks, and at the same time, you use our merchant services. 

If you encounter duplicate transactions, follow the steps provided by Kevin_C. This way, there will be no double entries in your account to ensure your book is accurate and balanced.
