PayPal tax compliance automation for global sellers
Turn every PayPal payment into a tax-compliant invoice and every refund into a credit note, automatically. Return-ready reports and registration alerts keep your tax records ready for filing.
Trusted by businesses selling across borders
PayPal gets you paid. Tax compliance is still on you
Rebuilding invoices, tax reports, and threshold checks from PayPal exports costs hours every month and leaves gaps an audit will find.
PayPal on its own
- Invoices by hand Making every invoice and credit note compliant for each country yourself.
- Spreadsheet tax reports Exporting PayPal data and rebuilding VAT, GST, and sales tax totals before every filing.
- Missed thresholds Finding out you crossed a nexus or VAT threshold after the back taxes have piled up.

Every successful payment or refund creates its document in Quaderno and updates your tax reports.
Built for how PayPal sends your data
Prices treated as tax-inclusive
PayPal sends the final charge amount including taxes, and Quaderno calculates tax as part of that price, not on top of it.
Tax IDs for B2B sales
Quaderno reads the customer's tax ID, IP address, and tax code from the fields in PayPal's custom variable.
Test before you go live
Connect a PayPal sandbox account to your Quaderno sandbox and check every document before real data flows.
Fees as monthly expenses
PayPal fees are not imported automatically, and you only need to add one expense per month in Quaderno.
The best thing about Quaderno is that it gets our data straight from the payment platforms. Hence, we have 90% of the work already done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Quaderno integrate with PayPal?
Yes. Once PayPal is connected, every successful payment or refund automatically creates an invoice or credit note in Quaderno with a full tax breakdown, keeping your tax reports up to date and your records ready for Quaderno's tax filing service.
Does Quaderno add tax on top of my PayPal prices?
No. PayPal sends Quaderno the final charge amount including taxes, and Quaderno calculates tax as part of that price, not on top of it.
Does Quaderno support B2B PayPal sales?
Yes, when the customer's tax ID reaches Quaderno. To be EU VAT compliant, send the customer's IP address and, for B2B sales, the customer's VAT number in the custom variable of your payment form.
Why are some details missing from my invoices?
Quaderno can only show the data PayPal sends. When you connect a third-party platform through PayPal, check that it sends all the required billing data, including addresses and tax IDs for B2B sales, and contact the platform's support team if something is missing.
Are PayPal fees imported as expenses in Quaderno?
No. PayPal fees are not automatically imported as expenses. You only need to add one expense per month to Quaderno.
Can I test the PayPal integration before going live?
Yes. Quaderno offers a sandbox environment for testing with the PayPal sandbox. Your live account and sandbox accounts are completely separate, and only PayPal sandbox accounts can be connected to the Quaderno sandbox.
