• Select the “Connectors” option seen on the left side of the PayTraQer dashboard. Now, select “Payment Connectors” from the dropdown.

• Choose AmazonPay from the list of supported payment and sales channels.

Choose one of the following methods based on your administrative access to PinPayments:

If You Are the AmazonPayAdmin:

• Select the Connect button visible on the AmazonPay connector card.

• Select “Proceed.” You will be redirected to the AmazonPay login interface.

• You will be directed to the AmazonPay login interface.

If You Are Not the PinPaymentsAdmin:

• Select Invite Admin or Client and choose AmazonPay from the available account authorization options.

• Click on Get Invite Link to create a secure connection link.

• Distribute the link to the account owner; they need to finalize the authorization.

• The link remains valid for 48 hours, so make sure to confirm promptly.

• Once the admin authorizes, access will sync back to PayTracker.

• Once done, PayTraQer will link to your AmazonPay account successfully.

Step 4: Choose Your Data Sync Mode

PayTracker features two synchronization formats that specify how AmazonPay transactions will be documented in QuickBooks:

Option A: Consolidated Sync (Sales Summary)

• Ideal for companies with significant daily or weekly transaction volumes.

• Transactions are consolidated into summary entries instead of being listed as individual invoices or receipts.

• Helps keep ledgers cleaner and reduces transaction load in QuickBooks.

• Enhances reconciliation speed as payouts and deposits align more predictably.

Option B: Itemized Sync (Individual Transaction Posting)

• It is recommended if you need thorough line-level data for your reporting or recordkeeping needs.

• Each transaction from AmazonPay is entered individually into QuickBooks.

• Customer information, product details, tax information, and payment data are entirely traceable.

To continue:

• Choose the synchronization mode that best represents how you wish the data to be displayed in QuickBooks.

• Press Get Started to validate your selection and proceed.

• To modify your sync mode, click on the mode you wish to select, as indicated in the image below.

• A pop-up will appear, asking you to disconnect the prior connectors before you can change the sync mode. You may proceed based on your preference.

Step 5: Configure Posting and Settlement Preferences

After connecting to PinPayments, PayTracker will request your accounting setup preferences:

• Select whether PayTracker is to automatically process Amazon Pay payouts and settlements.

• Choose the bank account in QuickBooks that will record AmazonPay deposits.

• Assign the income account for sales revenue (like Sales Income or Online Sales).

• Assign the expense account for AmazonPay processing fees (for example, Merchant Fees).

• Choose how PayTracker should match or create customer records:

• Match by email

• Match by name

• Always create a new customer

• Review the tax rate settings and decide how taxes should be mapped in QuickBooks.

• After verifying all mappings and routing details, click Save Settings.

Step 6: Review Transactions Before Syncing to QuickBooks

The Transactions dashboard has various organizational views that assist in managing and checking your data flow:

To review a transaction:

• Select any transaction row in the Review tab.

• Verify:

• Customer name or match settings

• Product or service item mapping

• Revenue and fee accounts

• Payment date accuracy

• Tax treatment

• Make modifications if needed.

• Click Sync to forward the transaction to QuickBooks.

Step 7: Enable Auto-Sync (Optional but Recommended)

• Auto Sync is off by default to allow manual review of the first transactions.

• Once you have validated that the mapping is correct and the entries are posting accurately:

• Turn Auto Sync ON.

• The automatic sync function ensures that AmazonPay transactions are always up to date, operating in the background according to your chosen schedule without needing any manual input.

• PayTracker will then:

• Automatically identify new AmazonPay transactions.

• Implement your mapping rules.

• Sync them into QuickBooks regularly.

Step 8: Download Recent AmazonPayTransactions

• Select Download Transactions from the PayTracker dashboard.

• PayTracker fetches transaction history from AmazonPay for the past 60 days.

• Only finalized AmazonPay transactions are downloaded to avoid syncing any pending or incomplete charges.

• Once the download is complete, the transactions will be listed in the Transactions section for your review.

Step 9: Download historical AmazonPay Transactions

Once your settings have been configured:

• Proceed to the Transactions screen in PayTraQer.

• Click on Download Historical Transactions.

• Choose the date range for your previous AmazonPay orders.

• Download the information. PayTraQer will showcase these records in the Review tab.

• Inspect a few sample transactions, then select and click Sync to send them to QuickBooks.

Start with smaller ranges for testing, then use larger ranges when you feel ready.
