Organizing and understanding your financial data doesn't need to be overly complicated or overwhelming with the PayPal Seller Spreadsheet. This powerful but simple tool helps you simplify your monthly bookkeeping and consistently keep your financials updated. It compiles your business’ sales and expenses each month to calculate your net profit. There are separate tabs to help you categorize different expenses and input receipts, along with monthly tabs for importing your PayPal sales data directly from PayPal.
Exactly what your PayPal Seller Spreadsheet can do:
- Save you the work of setting up your own bookkeeping system from scratch, without any monthly fees
- Provide you with step-by-step instructions (via a PDF guide and video tutorials) on how to enter all the data needed to perform your monthly bookkeeping duties
- Quickly import PayPal sales, shipping label expenses, fees, and refunds directly from PayPal
- Enter monthly expenses receipt by receipt into categories like shipping costs, raw materials, advertising & marketing, office supplies, etc.
- Tabulate in-state sales and sales tax collected to make tax time easier
- Calculate total sales, expenses, and net profit each month and have a running annual balance
- Customize extra rows to enter other sales sources and other expense categories that apply specific to your business
- Allow you to easily compare monthly trends across sales, expense categories, and net profit
- Use this as your “one-stop-shop” for monthly bookkeeping – the goal is to have ALL your biz sales + expenses in one place
- Provide you with the right financial data you need to make educated business decisions and set goals for the future
Please note that this spreadsheet will only import in your PayPal CSV if you have a BUSINESS PayPal account. It's pretty easy (and free) to upgrade from a personal account to a business account. Otherwise, personal PayPal accounts do not provide the CSV downloads needed to use this product.
📌 Due to the nature of their reporting, I do not recommend you use this spreadsheet in conjunction with my Shopify import add-on. You could potentially end up double counting your Shopify PayPal sales.

Why A Paper + Spark Spreadsheet?
Traditional bookkeeping software is made with accountants in mind. It’s expensive (and generally requires a monthly subscription payment), bulky, and oftentimes more complicated than a micro business like yours needs. It’s made for any and all types of small businesses, and not specific to YOUR business needs as a handmade biz owner or e-commerce seller. When your bookkeeping software is too complicated, too vague, and support or in-plain-English instruction is lacking, you tend to procrastinate on using it. Not updating your books consistently means severe stress once year end or tax deadlines hit.
Spreadsheets are powerful but simple tools. Partner a well-crafted spreadsheet file designed by an accountant intimately acquainted with e-commerce with clear, understandable instructions and you’ve got a formula for bookkeeping success. You get everything you need to feel empowered by your numbers, and nothing you don’t need.
Paper + Spark has been selling spreadsheets since 2015. We currently support thousands of makers and creative entrepreneurs in doing their books and understanding their money. Our spreadsheets have received countless rave reviews from shop owners. No other bookkeeping solution out there offers our level of step-by-step guidance & support. We also stay up-to-date on e-commerce reporting and platform changes.
With a Paper + Spark spreadsheet, you’ll pay a one-time fee for lifetime access to your files and support. We provide any future year files and updates for free, forever, via the account you create at checkout. You can always reach out in the Accounting Accountability Club, or via DM or email, and get answers to your spreadsheet & bookkeeping questions.
