PayPal Store Import Information

  • When importing orders from your PayPal account for the first time, Endicia will retrieve orders up to 2 days old. After that, orders up to 7 days will be retrieved.

  • PayPal does not have a shipping status. Endicia will import orders with a changed payment status since the last import.

  • PayPal does not support automatic shipping information return to your account. Copy the tracking number from your Print History Transaction Details, click Add Tracking Info at the bottom of your PayPal Order Details page, and paste the tracking number into PayPal. The tracking number will be included in the shipment notification email sent to your customer.
