Ever since launching SUBERNOVA, I was dealing with Paypal almost on a daily basis. What I disliked about Paypal is that it takes some time to login, navigate between sections and view transaction history. It was difficult to filter through transaction history to view only the details you want to.

I realize I am not alone when I discovered GaragePay while googling the internet.

Developed by iwascoding, GaragePay is amongst other popular apps like GarageSale and GarageBuy the company had developed. With GaragePay, you can view, search and archive transactions without having to log into Paypal and more.

Transactions

What GaragePay does is downloading your transaction history from Paypal to let you manipulate the data locally. This tremendously speeds up reviewing your transactions and saves you from dealing with Paypal’s slowness. This saves me a great deal of time when checking balances and transaction history.

Send Money

I was able to send money easily to not one but multiple Paypal users. Sending money is fast, not saying that this is your favorite activity in Paypal, but when you do need to send money, as far as I’m concerned no one can match GaragePay’s speed and ease of use.

Smart Folders

This is the gem and my favorite part of the application.

A life saver!

If you’re familiar with iTunes’ smart playlist and Mail’s smart mailboxes, you already know how to use this.

With smart folders, you can sort your transactions by whatever you like. For me, I sort my transactions by subscribers and transactions in the last couple of days. Taking a glance through how well business is doing is now a breeze. Saves me tons of time.

Refund Money

Again, this is not a fun part of the application. But when you have to, you have to. I am glad that I do not have angry customers yet.

Refunding money is easy and quick, just click on the transaction you want to refund and hit the refund icon at the top.

Export CSV

Depending on the kind of user you are, some like to archive transactions, export to a spreadsheet for keeps. This feature is there to help. Even comes with lots of options to customize your csv export. One of the best parts is being able to manage everything locally.

Conclusion

I find that after using GaragePay to manage and view my transactions, it really saves me from wasting time logging and helps me filter my transaction history better so that it makes more sense.

If you’re selling a product or just a heavy Paypal user, GaragePay is worth checking out.
