Connect to PayPal missed "Currency Conversion" transactions

Hi there, sewliberated.

Re-importing the transactions can cause duplications. I'd suggest importing your Paypal foreign currency expenses to a new bank in the Chart of Accounts instead. Before doing so, we'll have to turn on  the multi-currency feature in QBO. 

Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Gear icon, and choose Account and Settings.
2. Click Advanced.
3. In the Currency section, turn on Multicurrency.
4. Click Save.
5. Select Done.

Then, here's how to add an account:

1. Go to Accounting, then choose Chart of Accounts.
2. Click New.
3. Enter the Account information.
4. In the Currency drop-down, choose a foreign currency.
5. Click Save and Close.

Once done, you can go back to your foreign currency expense and import them to QuickBooks. Also, let's make sure that it will be imported in the account having the same foreign currency.

Feel free to reach the Community team again if you've additional questions. Have a good day!

I will add a few details, Sewliberated.

In your case, since Paypal does the conversion, you don't have to create different accounts for each currency.

If you set up different accounts, you still have to manually enter or transfer the transaction to the specific account.

Here's how:

1. Click Banking, then choose Banking.
2. Go the bank account.
3. Look for the transaction, then click to open.
4. Choose Record transfer.
5. Click the Select transfer account drop-down arrow, then choose the bank account.
6. Click Record transfer.

Are there any updates about this ?

I am not sure what to do because I am not seeing any of the transactions of Paypal payments received in EUR. Are those discarded and I have to add them manually ?

Thanks for joining the thread, aderium.

Currently, we don't have the feature to sync PayPal payments from other currency other than the US dollar, the only workaround available is to enter the transactions manually.

In case you need the steps on how to create an account, here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top menu bar, then select Chart of Accounts.
2. Click on the New button.
3. Fill in the required fields on the screen, then choose the currency you want in the Currency drop-down.
4. Click Save and Close.

We value your ideas and take them into consideration when making improvements to QuickBooks. I’ll personally send feedback on your behalf about the ability to handle foreign currency transactions in PayPal.
