We've been importing paypal payments in batches for about a year,
and I wrote a perl script to convert the paypal csv to the
freeside csv (attached). It checks for a string to see if the
payment came from a link in a freeside invoice, where the invoice
number should be the item number, and if it did it uses that to
look up the customer number. If its not recognized as coming from
an invoice, you have to look up the customer number and import
the payment manually. It also checks for payments already input
with the paypal transaction id as the checknumber, so you can
export payments from paypal with overlapping dates and it will
work which is good for when a payment took a few weeks to clear.
The script should just be run as the freeside user and uses
sameuser authentication in postgresql. I hope this helps somebody.
