I'm running a website that generates small commissions from the user base when an item is sold. If the total of the commissions owed by someone exceeds 2.00 then I send them an automated email invoice with a PayPal link for them to pay the amount due.

I accept the majority of payments via PayPal since I have integrated IPN into the system, the payer can immediately see their payment applied to their balance.

I would like to somehow download all this data into an application package so that I can have all the nice statistics/aging/etc... that these packages offer.

In addition I would like to start collecting the smaller payments via check/money order since PayPal really destroy any money made by the fees they collect on each transaction. have quite a bit of lost income due to commission balances under 2.00

Ideally I would like to import all the data from my database into some accounting package and then have that send out paypal invoices for anything over 2.00 and check/money order invoices for anything under 2.00

I also have quite a few other applications that I am mostly taking care of with PayPal (invoices, recurring subscriptions, etc...)

Is this possible with any of the accounting packages currently out there? Or am I just going to have to create my own custom software?

We're working on a plug-in for Excel that will have some of the aging, tracking info that you are looking for. Feel free to contact me at developer at paypal.com and I will send you our Excel plug-in, currently in 'beta'.

As for sending email invoices with PayPal, how about QuickBooks? If you have QuickBooks Premier, then this QuickBooks Wizard [paypal.com] plug-in might be helpful. Or you could just use the Outlook or Outlook Express Wizard [paypal.com].
