PayPal Time Tracking — Use Teetrack Alongside PayPal
Track billable time in Teetrack, export CSV/PDF timesheets, then invoice through your billing tool and get paid via PayPal.
Track work prepared for payment in Teetrack alongside PayPal. A manual workflow with time exports; the tools do not transfer data automatically.
Requirements
- A PayPal Business or personal account for receiving payments
- A Teetrack account for time tracking
- Billable rates configured per project or client in Teetrack
Follow the manual workflow
Step 1: Set up clients and projects in Teetrack
Create clients and projects in Teetrack that reflect your actual work. Assign billable rates so tracked hours translate directly into billable amounts for your CSV/PDF export.
Step 2: Track billable hours throughout the project
Use Teetrack timers or manual entries to capture every billable hour. Add descriptions so clients see exactly what they are paying for.
Step 3: Export tracked time for billing
At the end of the billing period, export your Teetrack timesheet as CSV/PDF. Use these hours to prepare an invoice in your billing tool of choice, then review line items, rates, and totals before sending.
Step 4: Send the invoice and accept PayPal payment
Share your CSV/PDF timesheet export with your invoicing tool, create the invoice there, and include your PayPal payment link or email so they can pay the invoiced amount directly through PayPal.
What you can do
- Accurate billing backed by real time data: Every billable time entry is tied to tracked hours, not guesses. Clients see transparent billing with project details and hourly breakdowns in your CSV/PDF export.
- Flexible payment collection via PayPal: Clients pay through a platform they already know and trust. You track time in Teetrack, export CSV/PDF, invoice in your billing tool, they settle via PayPal — no friction on either side.
- Complete billing history in one place: Teetrack stores your time entries and client records. Pair this with your CSV/PDF export archive and PayPal transaction history for a full picture of earnings and outstanding payments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Teetrack integrate directly with PayPal?
There is no native integration. Teetrack tracks billable time; use PayPal for invoicing and payment. Export your CSV/PDF timesheet, prepare an invoice in your billing tool, and share the PayPal payment link with clients. The workflow is manual but straightforward.
Can I include a PayPal link with my exported timesheet?
You can share your PayPal.me link or payment email alongside the invoice from your billing tool. Clients receive the CSV/PDF timesheet export as supporting context and pay through PayPal separately.
Why not use PayPal invoicing directly?
PayPal invoicing does not include time tracking. Teetrack tracks billable time and manages projects; export CSV/PDF timesheets, then use your invoicing tool and PayPal when clients prefer it. The combination gives you accurate hours and flexible payment collection.
How do I reconcile my CSV/PDF export with PayPal payments?
Match your exported hours and invoice totals against your PayPal transaction history. Consistent records make reconciliation simple.
Is this workflow suitable for international clients?
Yes. PayPal handles multi-currency payments well, and Teetrack CSV/PDF exports clearly show hours and rates regardless of currency. This combination works well for freelancers with global clients.
