### 3. Log in to PayPal  
Assuming you have the owner-level login information for your PayPal account, click "Connect Now" to log in.

### 4. Confirm Connection  
After authentication, the PayPal connection will appear on your Connections page, ready for field mapping.

### 5. Set and Confirm PayPal Timezone  
The easiest way to confirm your PayPal account's timezone is to download a monthly statement from your PayPal dashboard in .csv format, which displays the timezone in column "C" (statements in .pdf format do not display this information).

info

PayPal's default timezone is PST. If you have changed this in PayPal, update the timezone in Bookkeep under PayPal setting (Configure) to match your timezone in PayPal.
