Amazon Plugin for MoneyMoney
Installation
You can get the signed version from https://moneymoney-app.com/extensions/amazon-orders.lua. The unsigned beta and latest versions are available from this repository.
To activate the extension, copy the file into ~/Library/Containers/com.moneymoney-app.retail/Data/Library/Application\ Support/MoneyMoney/Extensions. If you have cloned this repository you can use the link_ext.sh script in a shell. A restart is not required, it will load automatically. You can verify installation using Window → Log.
Look out: MoneyMoney only runs unsigned plugins in the beta version and you need to disable signature check in the extentsion settings.
Usage
After installation go to Add new account → Others → Amazon Orders. There are a few different account types:
- Normal: List your spendings like a normal bank account: Purchases are negative, refunds and bonuses are positive.
- Inverted: Like a normal account, but inverted: Purchases are positive, refunds and bonuses are negative.
- Mix: Shows both a positive and a negative booking for each purchase. The account total is always zero.
- Monthly: Negative bookings for each purchase. A monthly positive counter booking to zero out the account.
- Yearly: Negative bookings for each purchase. A yearly postitive counter booking to zero out the account.
Config
Some hard coded parameters can be overwritten in the MoneyMoney account settings:
Performance
The script caches some data, but the first time it scrapes your whole order history. In facts ~10 years of shopping with about 230 orders with 340 positions takes 12 minutes in the first run! The second run needs 2 minutes. After that all data is cached so a normal run needs 20-30 seconds.
