QIF Output Details
Quicken Interchange Format (.qif) is a legacy but widely supported format originally created by Intuit for Quicken, now accepted by many financial applications. BankScan AI generates QIF files with the correct date format for your locale (D field), payee names (P field), amounts (T field), and category hints (L field) where identifiable. PayPal statements include a mix of payments, refunds, fees, and currency conversions. BankScan AI separates transaction types and preserves fee details.
Getting Your PayPal PDF
In PayPal, go to 'Activity', click 'Statements', select the month, and download as PDF. For CSV exports suitable for accounting software, use 'Activity' > 'Download' and select the date range and format. The CSV export includes more detail than the PDF.
