Keep PayPal and Outlook 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 Outlook by itself, in the shape Outlook expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

What each side expects
PayPal and Outlook 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.
Outlook
A customer contact system wants a sender and a subject, so a message lands with the right customer.

Common questions
Can you connect PayPal to Outlook?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of PayPal and Outlook, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Is a ticket created automatically in Outlook?
Yes. What arrives from PayPal becomes a ticket in Outlook for the right customer, so a question does not sit somewhere unanswered.
Does Outlook recognise the sender as an existing customer?
The sender is looked up by email in Outlook and attached to the existing contact; with no match, a new contact is created.
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 Outlook 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 Outlook?
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 Outlook 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 Outlook 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.
