I’ve not revisited this particular product since I wrote the article in 2008. There are other options to consider, such as the Transaction Pro Importer (http://www.sleeter.com/blog/2012/02/quickbooks-transaction-pro-importer/) or the PayPal to QuickBooks link from Big Red Consulting (http://www.bigredconsulting.com/).

Please note that I’ve not tried either of those to import from PayPal…

I have the same issue with Paypal payment wizard not responding once I hit the create button. I use Thunderbird for my email system and do not have any issues with other programs that auto send things. Bummer, this would have saved me a lot of time. I have QB 2012 Pro.

I installed the quickbooks paypal app on my windows 7 64 bit machine, everything went fine except it will not generate a e-mail and I get some error messages when I close QB.

Now, my e-mail program opens every time I open quickbooks and open the customer panel.

I haven’t been able to fix that except by selecting web mail which is not configured.

Its not a program I’d recommend.

Been searching online and cannot find an answer. When I invoice in QB and use the Paypal link, is there anyway that the invoice can be a PDF but with a link to PayPal? My boss hates the look of the Outlook invoice with the PayPal link. Doesn’t think it looks very professional.

I installed it in QuickBooks 2010 Pro and it works okay until you exit, which causes QB to hang. I have to close it out with the task manager. I don’t think I want to do that each time.

I downloaded the program but can’t get it to do anything. When I put in the invoice # and review the information as I would to send the e-mail, it just freezes and says not responding. I tried it on 2 different office computers several times. I have Premier 2010 Contractor’s edition.

Have the customer check in her SPAM or junk mail folder…

I downloaded the request for payment in Quickbooks wizard, followed the instructions, and everything seemed fine. The email I sent to my customer even appeared in my sent mail boz. HOWEVER, my customer never received the email. I tried forwarding her the email in my sent mail box without success too. The email itself works — I even tested it — but I still can’t get the request to be sent. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Steve. I hadn’t looked at that lately. Thank goodness PayPal has listened and fixed that problem.

I’m still not a fan of their overall process, unless they have improved that as well.

It appears that whatever issue there was with the zip file has been resolved.

Also, the utility does work with QB 2010 (at least the Premier).
