What is PayPal tracking sync?
PayPal tracking sync is the automatic transfer of shipment data from a Shopify fulfillment to the related PayPal transaction. PalSync uses the platforms’ official connections to send the carrier and tracking number, record the result, and let you retry or back-sync eligible historical orders.

How PalSync handles it
Real-time sync.
The moment you fulfill an order in Shopify, PalSync pushes the tracking number and carrier to PayPal and Stripe through their official APIs. No spreadsheets, no copy-paste, no orders slipping through at 2 a.m.
365-day back-sync.
Installing today doesn't mean starting from zero. Select up to a year of past orders and sync them in one click, so your history starts working for you immediately.
Smart courier mapping.
PayPal only recognizes certain carrier names. PalSync maps whatever your suppliers use — including obscure dropshipping couriers — to a carrier PayPal accepts, with a rules engine for edge cases.
Questions merchants ask
What does PalSync actually do?
When an order is fulfilled in Shopify, PalSync sends its tracking number and carrier to the matching PayPal or Stripe transaction automatically, using the platforms' official APIs. That verified delivery data is what PayPal's own seller-performance systems reward.
Will PalSync remove holds already on my account?
No app can force PayPal to release money or lift limitations — be wary of any that claims it can. What PalSync does is supply the complete, verified tracking record that PayPal's policies reward, which is why merchants typically see shorter holds and faster releases over time. Back-syncing past orders speeds that up.
Is it safe to connect my accounts?
Connections use PayPal's and Stripe's official OAuth APIs. PalSync never sees or stores your passwords, and you can revoke access at any time.
Can I sync orders from before I installed?
Yes — select any orders from the past 365 days and back-sync them in one click.
I dropship with unusual carriers. Will tracking match?
That's what courier mapping is for: PalSync translates supplier carrier names into ones PayPal recognizes, with a rules engine for special cases.
Can I run multiple stores or PayPal accounts?
Yes — connect unlimited PayPal and Stripe accounts and manage everything from one place.
