Solution

PayPal transaction descriptor cleanup

TxnKit helps teams solve PayPal descriptor cleanup with one safe descriptor, confidence-aware output, and warnings when identity evidence is weak.

Target intent

clean PayPal-wrapped merchant rows.

TxnKit does not inspect PayPal accounts or payment history.

Raw descriptor

PAYPAL *ACME-SUPPLY

API-shaped output

{
  "input": {
    "descriptor": "PAYPAL *ACME-SUPPLY",
    "country": "CA"
  },
  "output": {
    "merchant_name": "Acme Supply",
    "category": "Business supplies",
    "confidence": "medium",
    "signals": [
      "processor_pattern",
      "merchant_alias",
      "category_hint"
    ],
    "warnings": [
      "review_low_confidence_matches_before_showing_logo"
    ],
    "logos": []
  }
}

Low-confidence results should keep fallback labels and warnings visible instead of forcing a guessed logo or website.

When to use

  • You need PayPal descriptor cleanup for transaction-feed UI, audit, or import review workflows.
  • You can send safe anonymized descriptors without customer PII or full statement text.
  • You want API-shaped output that a developer can inspect before wiring product UI.

When not to use

  • TxnKit does not inspect PayPal accounts or payment history.
  • Do not use TxnKit to process card numbers, account numbers, full statements, bank credentials, emails, phone numbers, addresses, customer names, or customer PII.
  • Do not use TxnKit when the product requirement is guaranteed merchant identity, every-merchant resolution, or contracted uptime terms.
