Report Pundit's PayPal integration pulls your gateway data into the same workspace as your Shopify orders. PayPal transactions, payouts, fees, refunds, and disputes become fields you can filter, report on, and export, each one linked to the order behind it.
Without vs with the PayPal integration
Without it: Shopify records what a customer bought through PayPal, but not the amount that reached your bank after PayPal's fee. PayPal records the settlement, but not the Shopify order it belongs to. With no shared order reference, reconciling the two means matching exports on amounts and dates by hand.
With it: Every PayPal transaction is linked to its Shopify order, so fees, refunds, and payouts sit next to the orders they came from. Net revenue is calculated for you, mismatches trace to a single line item, and bundled PayPal Wallet activity can be filtered back out of your Shopify Payments payouts.
Reports available
PayPal Summary Report rolls up gross sales, fees, refunds or disputes, net revenue, and payouts into one view for month-end reconciliation and payout validation.
PayPal Line-item Report shows transaction, order, and item-level detail tied to each Shopify order, so you can trace an off number to the exact records behind it.
Reconcile with the summary; investigate with the line-item view.
Insights you can pull
- Fee drag on net revenue — how much PayPal fees shave off gross sales across a whole period, not just per order
- Refund and dispute exposure — where refunds, partial refunds, and disputes concentrate before they become a trend
- Payout-to-order matching — confirm each payout ties to the orders it should, and see the ones that don't
- Bundled PayPal Wallet visibility — isolate PayPal Wallet activity that Shopify Payments reports as one combined payout
- Cash-flow timing — line payout dates against order dates to see when money actually lands

FAQs
Should I use the PayPal Summary Report or the PayPal Line-item Report?
Use the summary to confirm your totals and payouts look right for the period, and the line-item report to trace a breakdown to its order. Most merchants keep both.
Can Report Pundit separate PayPal Wallet transactions from my Shopify Payments payouts?
Yes. When PayPal Wallet runs as a payment method inside Shopify Payments, its activity is bundled into your Shopify Payments payouts. Report Pundit surfaces those transactions so you can filter them by payment method and see the PayPal portion on its own.
Can I schedule PayPal reports to run automatically?
Yes. Once a report is set up with your fields and filters, you can export it or schedule recurring delivery so each period's reconciliation is ready without rebuilding it.
