A Python script to convert a few different financial CSV formats into YNAB's CSV import format.

This works under YNAB 4 ("classic") but not the "new YNAB" web-based service as it does not respect the Category column in imported CSV files. See also: bank2ynab, where this really should be.

This can read from any combination of:

• Shopify's Transaction Export CSV
• Shopify's Payouts Export CSV
• Chase bank's Activity Export CSV
• A generic CSV export used by small banks and credit unions

• Transfers are automatically categorized as income in YNAB for some reason. These can be filtered in YNAB with Is:Error and then fixed in bulk by setting Category to '(No Category)'.
• Pending transactions should be marked un-cleared, if possible.
• Again, no idea if this plays nicely with the new web-based YNAB.

1. Go to https://yoursite.myshopify.com/admin/payments/transactions
2. Click "Export" in the upper-right

• Choose "Export payment transactions by date"
• Choose "CSV for Excel, Numbers, and other spreadsheet programs"

3. And also export from here: https://yoursite.myshopify.com/admin/payments/payouts

1. Log in and go to See Activity.
2. Click "I'd Like To..." and choose "Download Activity."
3. Choose appropriate date range.
4. Choose CSV.
5. Click "Download Activity."

I don't know what product these banks are using for their online services but it looks like something off-the-shelf. When I have a better idea of what this is and who uses it I'll add more detail here.

1. Log in and choose account
2. Choose a date range on the upper-left
3. Click "Export" on the upper-right
4. Choose "Excel (.csv)"

Optionally set up whatever text fields you want in ynab_convert.ini. They should be pretty self-explanatory. Run the script giving the CSV filenames as arguments, and direct the output to a new file. Run ./ynab_convert.py -h to see all the options.

Example:

./ynab_convert.py --shopify-trans payment_transactions_export.csv --shopify-payouts payouts_export.csv > converted.csv

Go to the account in YNAB and click the Import button. Choose the CSV file just created. The defaults should be correct, but check the preview to be sure. After importing be sure to un-match any transactions YNAB has incorrectly matched with existing ones.
