Reconciling Payments Manually Through Transaction History

transaction history and the reporting tools provided by PayPal. You are required to reconcile
your payments, especially if you have unprotected or non-encrypted buttons.
To reconcile payments manually through your transaction history:
1. Log in to your Business or Premier account.
2. In the My Account tab, click the History subtab.
3. In the Show dropdown menu, select “Payments Received”.
4. Specify a time frame for the payments you want to verify.
5. Click the Search button.
6. For each payment that was found, verify that the item amounts match the amounts that you
charge.
