Making statistics of product sales?

4 replies
Hi,
I have different products I am selling online and I would like to make some statistics. Right now I am using Excel and put it all in by hand which is very tedious and not very clear.

I would love a program or a more sophisticated excel sheet that shows all the relevant data.

I guess a program automatically pulling all the data from paypal is not possible?

    Unless paypal has some sort of API set up for merchants, no.

    Yes paypal offer the API and I have found a neat little program that is exactly what I was looking for: Putler Putler - Paypal Business Analytics on desktop - Early Access Program
    Unfortunately it is still alpha version and has a few bugs

    Is there any other program that makes use of the API as well? For me this is a great alternative to the sluggish always-timing-out paypal.

      what did you use in your online payment? Credit card ? Paypal ?
      For Credit Card, you can use Merchant Account.

      For Paypal. They provide the test account and live paypal online payment script. Hire a programmer knows the merchant / paypal script and API.

        Enigma, for the last few months, I have been developing a Windows based software app that may be exactly what you are looking for. It's like a "Microsoft Money" app, but exclusively for PayPal.

        The way it works is that PayPal allows you to export reports. My software will import the reports and give you a "check book" type GUI in which you can keep track of all entries including adding, editing or deleting entries as well as many additional features.

        If you'd be interested in having a look-see, please feel free to PM me to discuss this further.
