PayPal + Coconut: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your PayPal UK bank statement into Coconut? PayPal uses DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS and multi-row layout where each transaction shows Gross, Fee, and Net amounts on separate lines with running balance — which needs converting to CSV (Date, Description, Amount — Coconut accepts a single amount column with positive for income and negative for expenses) for Coconut import.
