4. Additional information
1. API only sends the last 100 transactions.
For example, if you have more than 100 transactions in the selected date range, the 101st will not be synced to Databox.
2. "Balance" and "Balance by Currency" do not have any historical data prior to when you first connect
For example, if you connect PayPal Today and use the Date Range "Last Month", no historical data will be shown just yet. However, data will accumulate over time.
