Tips and Tricks

  • Most of the differences are minor heading wording in field names.
  • The import module looks for specific wording in the heading.
  • Hence if the Paypal download gives different formats for some countries (other than NZ, AU, UK), it will need to be resolved manually by editing the import module's files or by normalising the downloaded file to an acceptable format before import.
