Paypal transactions not showing

first issue, paypal transactions dont show more than 50 transactions and no option to page 2 or 3... second issue, after categorizing paypal transactions i cannot review more than 50 transactions. The filter to review specific dates does not work as well. (this has not worked in the past either, id have to page over to find.) Now with the update, i cannot even page over. VERY FRUSTRATING. Only happens with the paypal account. Ive submitted a complaint year or two ago. Still same issue.

I'd be glad to help show your PayPal transactions in QuickBooks Online, @turboboostleakte.

 

Transactions that will show in the For Review tab depend on what the bank will share. If there are data that are in your bank statement but not in the Banking page, we can update your bank. 

 

Here's how: 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Go to the Banking menu and choose the Banking tab.
  3. Select your Paypal account and click Update
  4. If asked, enter your Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) credentials and then choose Continue update.

For your second concern, when you categorized your transactions, there are a maximum of 50 data that will only show in the first page. You'll need to click the next arrow to review other transactions. 

 

If the next button doens't work, I suggest to use a private browser. This stops the cache from saving your data, and it's a good initial step to check browser issues. If it's working fine, you'll want to go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. If it's the same thing, try other browsers.

 

I've also added these great resources you can use on how to manage your bank accounts and transactions in QuickBooks Online: 

Keep me posted in the comments if you have any other queries. I'll be happy to help.

Paypal transactions not showing

Thanks for the reply.   

Im not sure if i was clear with my question and i had hoped you assumed that i know to update my accounts accounts since i mentioned ive had issues and been using qb online for a couple years now.  

The first issue im having with paypal not showing the additional transactions on additional pages is a glitch in the software.  Ive tried using another browser and same issue.   

To be more clear, when i update my paypal account, and ill have 120 transactions but the page only lets me view 50 of them, with no ability to scroll to the next page.  At the bottom right of the page it states "1-50 of 50 items" with no ability to scroll to next pages.   I know i have many more than 50

Only work around ive found is to select in the view options to show 300 transactions instead of 50.   If i had more than 300 transactions though id be SOL because regardless, any filtering would not work.

 

2nd issue ive had since the beginning and created a complaint/ticket to the customer service team.  I got lucky and only needed to go back to September categorized transactions so using the option to show 300 instead of 50 transactions worked for this case.    Otherwise there would be no way for me to search the transactions by date.   Ive never been able to search, and its ONLY in my PayPal account.  I have several other accounts and the search function works find on previously categorized transactions.

This should be  a basic function that should not still be broken after a complaint/ticket from more than a year ago

Thanks for taking the time to get back here, turboboostleakte.

 

I agree that when you select 50 from the Page size, the For Review page will only display 50 transactions, and the rest will be on the next page. Here's a sample screenshot for reference: 

 

 

I've checked our records, but there are no investigations reported. Since you're getting the same result, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. They can further check what's causing this behavior.

 

Before doing so, please check our support hours here. Then, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Help icon located in the upper right-hand corner.
  2. In the Help window, click the Contact Us button located at the bottom.
  3. Enter your question and click Let's talk.
  4. Choose either Start a chat or Call us.

If you have the new QuickBooks Assistant help update, you can follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Help menu, and select Talk to a human.
  2. Choose Talk to a human again. 
  3. Proceed with I still need a human.
  4. Click the Contact us link.
  5. Select either Start messaging or Get a call.

 

I'll be around if you have more questions with QuickBooks Online. Just leave a reply below and I'll get back to you.

I'm having the same issue, on my PayPal account only. The other accounts in QBO show the pagination options to see the next 50, etc (as expected). But in the PayPal section, it only shows the first 50 transactions and only gives the option to see the first page of results. In the register for PayPal, there are thousands of transactions listed. 

This is a problem because I am trying to exclude specific transactions, but I cannot get to them by going to Banking > PayPal. Seems like a glitch in Quickbooks for PayPal only.

As you can see, there are more than 50 transactions tied to our PayPal account. However, I'm not able to access the majority of them for categorization. Hoping you can help.

I have reported the same issue about a month ago and no progress has been done so far. I check in with the support every week, and they gently assure me that the "backend developers are working on the issue".

 

The total number of transactions is reflected correctly at the top of the table. Therefore it must be an internal Quickbooks issue - not actually related to the PayPal API. Most likely it is a trivial frontend bug that a single developer should be able to investigate in about an hour.

 

I am very frustrated with the service and loosing hope that this will ever be resolved. My case number is [removed], investigation number INV-45934.

I am having the exact same issue on paypal transactions. Only 1 page is visible. Cannot go to the next page and all the search and filtering functions are returning unrelated results. It is basically impossible to find the transaction you are looking for. 

This needs to be fixed asap. Please.

I am having this exact same issue and it is causing a massive issue for me, because some of my Paypal transactions have also been somehow mis-categorized, and need to find them in categorized to understand what happened, undo, and fix them, before reconciling.  I can not do this because I can not see the older transactions beyond the first page. It's also worth noting that another related problem here is that the 1 page of categorized transactions that are displayed do not show that they were categorized by a rule, even though they were.

So the solution is I have to spend my money to fix an issue that’s been ongoing with QB for sometime? I’m ready to transfer my clients to another financial system bc this has been a nightmare.

This is not an acceptable solution due to the particular nature of my issue (the fact that I need to clearly see the paypal transactions that were already miscategorized through your system and the info that is shown specifically in the "categorized" tab (so that I can see them, undo as appropriate, reassign, and accept).  Essentially my accounts are in a broken state that I can only easily repair if I can work with a properly functioning "categorized" section for the Paypal account.  

Related side note: I am an expert software architect the designs large-scale systems like this for well-known companies. If you can put me in touch with your dev teams I can help them test and resolve the issue more quickly -> I have done this in the past with your team for other bugs; check the history of my account with you. Thanks.

I don't know if this will help anyone, but I am also experiencing the same issue with the Paypal (AND VENMO) account import.  I have discovered that if you do what you need to do with the first 50 showing, in my case I am deleting all of 2020 since that was on a different system and over 1400 transactions, then select the "Categorized" or "excluded" options, then click right back to the "For Review" option, 50 more will appear.  I know this isn't the IT fix, but it will get you to the transactions that you need for now.  I am still working through my issue that the transfers from the bank account are NOT showing up in the Paypal or Venmo account, but show "Venmo" or "Paypal" transfer on the bank side. You cannot match or see it in the other account which is super frustrating and I was able to do this just last week.  

 

I will call tomorrow to see if I can find an update on that issue. Hope my info helps :)

Im the original poster and i assure you i spoke to quickbooks about this issue a year prior to my original post (oct 2020).

This issue is BASIC functionality and the fact its not fixed by now doesnt say much about quickbook's credibility.  There should be some compensation. 

 

******Ill add that in addition to not seeing all the transactions, i also cannot SEARCH categorized transactions in paypal within a date range.***

See screenshots where i choose december 2020 as a custom date range - the result just shows me all the last categorized transactions.

 

Are all of you having the broken search functionality as well?

Glad to have you back here in the Community, @turboboostleakte.

 

Let's perform some troubleshooting steps to help fix this bank transaction concern.

 

The information that will show up on the banking page will be based on the date that you applied. Since this isn't your case, I recommend accessing your account on a private window like what my peer Rubielyn_J has suggested above.

 

Web-based platforms like QBO collect cache files (cookies) to save you time when loading repetitive data and images. This may result to unexpected behavior like the one that you've experienced.

 

If it works fine, you can go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. By doing this, you'll force QBO to load a fresh copy of the banking screen, allowing you to view all the transactions that you want.

 

However, if the problem continues, there's a possibility that they've been missing. To fix this, I suggest uploading you bank transactiosn in the system manually.

 

To do that:

  1. Click Banking from the left navigation panel.
  2. Pick File Upload from the Update drop-down menu or Upload transactions manually if there isn’t any bank connected to QBO.
  3. Select Browse and choose the file you downloaded.
  4. Choose an account from the list, then Next.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to map the fields.
  6. Select the transactions to import.
  7. Click Yes.
  8. Hit Let’s go.

For the information and steps on importing these files, see this article: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.

I cleared the cashed as requested - Issue still exists

 

When i search PAYPAL categorized transactions for date range 12/1/2020 - 12/31/2020 i get results that show between 9/14/2020 - 1/13/2021. The december 2020 transactions do exist becuase they are included in the transactions that show up between 9/14/2020 - 1/13/2021.  

 

Can you open a ticket for this issue because it makes it very difficult to find transactions in the past.
