  • How much historical data is available when you first start using PayPal metrics in Databox?

    When you first start using a PayPal Data Source metric in Databox, 36 months of historical data is initially synced.

    This excludes metrics that do not provide historical data on initial use (data is accumulated over time as the metric is used in the account). These metrics are:
    Balance
    Balance by Currency
    Transactions
    Transactions by Status

  • API limitations allow only data for the last 100 transactions to be synced

    Only data for the last 100 transactions is available from the PayPal API. If there are more than 100 transactions tracked in the selected Date Range, the 101st transaction will not be synced with Databox.
