Keep PayPal and Magento updated automatically.
Today you export the transactions and work out by hand which payments belong to which deposit. The deducted fees make that a puzzle every time. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in PayPal lands in Magento by itself, in the shape Magento expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

What travels across the link
Everything this connector moves between PayPal and Magento, and how often.
-
Orders
to Magento automaticallyEvery order becomes an order in Magento with line items, matched on EAN or SKU, so you handle it all from Magento without retyping.
-
Inventory
to Magento automaticallyA sale updates stock in Magento, so you never sell the same last unit on two channels at once.
-
Shipments
to Magento automaticallyThe moment you ship, the tracking travels along, so the shipping status matches on both sides.
What each side expects
PayPal and Magento do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
PayPal
A payment provider supplies individual payments, refunds and payouts, with fees deducted per transaction.
Magento
A shop platform needs to point each line at a product, usually via SKU or barcode, and track stock per product.

Common questions
Can you connect PayPal to Magento?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of PayPal and Magento, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
What does the connector match products on in Magento?
On EAN barcode or SKU. Those have to line up on both sides; anything that does not match automatically you map once by hand, and it is remembered after that.
Does the connector touch my existing Magento orders?
No. Schakel only creates new orders in Magento and leaves your existing ones alone.
Does this line up with my PayPal payouts, not just individual payments?
Both. Individual payments and the payout that bundles them come across, so the amount in your bank later matches what you sold.
What does connecting PayPal and Magento cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does PayPal sync with Magento?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
Are the PayPal transaction fees included?
Yes. The fees PayPal deducts per transaction are handled separately, so your revenue and your payout no longer drift apart.
What if PayPal or Magento is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what PayPal and Magento should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
