Finally got eCart up and running thanks to this forum but I have one last stumbling block: I'm trying to send the item details to paypal so that my client knows what kind of order to fill. It's things like color, bead size, etc. I've set these up in the local checkout options which results in code that looks like this:

$PP_DirectPayment_itemized[0][$nextIndex] = "Color";
$PP_DirectPayment_itemized[1][$nextIndex] = "".$bellaCart->DisplayInfo("Color") ."";
$nextIndex = count($PP_DirectPayment_itemized[0]);

However when I look at the paypal receipt only the product name, sku and price are showing up. Anyone have any idea on how to successfully send extra product information in a way that paypal will accept and include it in the receipt?

You would have to append it to the end of the name for easy implementation. Anything more would require writing some code by hand.

ah, so take those values eCart spit out and just throw them in the product name field? I suppose I can do it in the SKU value as well? (not really using sku, there's only 6 products)

yeah, that is the way to go
