Product Description

How to I pass Description/Comments variable to PayPal from ecart? There is a Comment1 and Comment2 field in our PayPal reports that we would like to populate from the cart.

Thanks

whta type of checkout are you using? Paypal Standard, Express checkout or Payments pro?

Payment pro

actualy now that I look at it I need to pass the description to paypal. Not product description but more of a trasaction description. When I look at details of the payment the description field just says shopping cart and I want to populate if with information that they filled out in the ordering process.

Thanks for any help

Okay I have more information and you can disregard any of the previous comments.

We have a Payflow Pro account, I need to grab information from a form that is gathered by a session variable and pass that info to either the comment1 or comment2 field. So we can display the info in our report through manager.paypal.com

OK, so the information is already in a session variable?


on the confirm page, locate the collowing lines of code:

$nextIndex = count($PP_PayPro_optional[0]);

  $PP_PayPro_optional[0][$nextIndex] = "MERCHANT-SESSIONID";

  $PP_PayPro_optional[1][$nextIndex] = "".session_id()  ."";

and change that to:

$nextIndex = count($PP_PayPro_optional[0]);

  $PP_PayPro_optional[0][$nextIndex] = "MERCHANT-SESSIONID";

  $PP_PayPro_optional[1][$nextIndex] = "".session_id()  ."";

  $nextIndex = count($PP_PayPro_optional[0]);

  $PP_PayPro_optional[0][$nextIndex] = "COMMENT1";

  $PP_PayPro_optional[1][$nextIndex] = "".$_SESSION['comment1Session']  ."";

  $nextIndex = count($PP_PayPro_optional[0]);

  $PP_PayPro_optional[0][$nextIndex] = "COMMENT2";

  $PP_PayPro_optional[1][$nextIndex] = "".$_SESSION['comment1Session']  ."";

you will need to modify this to use the names of the session variables you have created.
