A payment provider supplies individual payments, refunds and payouts, with fees deducted per transaction.
Visma eAccounting

Common questions
Can you connect PayPal to Visma eAccounting?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of PayPal and Visma eAccounting, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Visma eAccounting?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in Visma eAccounting?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Visma eAccounting, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
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 Visma eAccounting 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 Visma eAccounting?
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.
What happens to a return or refund in Visma eAccounting?
A return becomes a credit invoice in Visma eAccounting for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.
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.
