Paypal General Currency Conversion

SarahMSarahM Member Posts: 1

How do I record the transactions for paupal general currency conversions?

On the USD side of the account I'm seeing a gross of $99.61

On the CAD side of the account I'm seeing -$132.13.

So in Paypal this moved CAD into USD.

How do I record that in wave?

    Hi, @Sarah.

    Are you just transferring money between currencies on a multi-currency Paypal account, or are you processing a payment in CAD for a product sold in USD? The approach will be different depending on what you're doing. Can you give me a bit more information on your situation? I'll be happy to help out.

    Hello! I'm a first-time user in Wave and if I may say I am loving it! It's very user-friendly and easy to set-up and understand. However, I encountered the same concerns on General Currency Conversion transactions w/ Paypal. How will I categorize currency conversion for transfers of money between currencies and for processing payments in different currencies?
    Thanks in advance!
