This is a tool that converts PayPal CSV exports to Wave Accounting-compatible import files.
I've created a web page where you can use this script without having to run it on your computer:
https://www.mostlydev.com/make-waves/
Save your PayPal CSV into a folder, let’s say you called it: PayPal.CSV
Download make_wave.rb from Terminal.
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mostlydev/wave_maker/master/lib/mostlydev/wave_maker.rb > wave_maker.rb
Then, run the script on your CSV file:
$ ruby wave_maker.rb PayPal.CSV
You’ll see some output like this:

... created PayPal.usd.wave.csv
... created PayPal.cad.wave.csv
... outputted 2202 rows
That’s it.
You should import each of the resulting csv files into its own currency-specific PayPal account in Wave.
The actual little app that runs it.
