QuickBooks Online PayPal not populating sales receipts anymore.

For the past 1.5 years, using QuickBooks online and the PayPal app, I could click on a transaction and click on the details button and it would send me to a sales receipt that the following item populated

 

Email

Payment method

Reference number

Deposit to

Product service

Description

Tate

Amount

Message

 

Now the sales receipt comes up with no information filled in. How can I get it to automatically populate the sales receipt again?

I can see your frustration being unable to show details on sales receipts, @Ldorey. Let's work together to resolve this integration issue between PayPal and QuickBooks Online.

 

There are two possible reasons why Connect to PayPal may not be able to use an item on a transaction, even if the item name matches:

 

  1. Item isn't set up in QuickBooks: If the item that matches the transaction isn't set up in QuickBooks, Connect to PayPal cannot use it. In this case, you will need to create the item in QuickBooks before the transaction can be matched.
  2. Item isn't of the correct type: Connect to PayPal can only use items in QuickBooks. If the item that matches the transaction isn't of the correct type, it won't be used. You may need to check the item type in QuickBooks and ensure that it is compatible with Connect to PayPal.

 

It's essential to address these issues to ensure the successful matching of transactions from PayPal to QuickBooks. Thus, we recommend calling the PayPal support team so they can help review and to ensure that the mapping is accurate.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns with sales receipts, and I will keep you updated.

Called a second time and was told this is being bumped up to engineering. Received no reference numbers to follow up. I am starting to realize Quickbooks support is severely deficient.

Having the same problem. When I send receipts for checks and cash payments the email/PDF is correct. When I send a receipt for something received through PayPal, the email and PDF don't have the correct formatting. I have already adjusted the PayPal item to one of our products/services, same as the check/cash items. Literally the only difference is in whether they used PayPal or handed us payment. This is very frustrating and the results are ugly. I hope this is fixed very soon.

Same issue.  I guess I'm also filing a ticket into the black hole.  It seems to have started right when they rolled out the new invoice experience.
