eCart4 using paypal payments standard give customer a printable receipt

Using eCart 4 and paypal payments standard, i can set up in the paypal account an auto redirect to the checkout_success page (so that a person does not have to click on 'return to merchant' but is automatically redirected).
My question is when the customer is redirected to the checkout_success page can i use sessions to show their purchase on the checkout_success page and have them print it as a receipt? Or since the order info is in the database, could a recordset populate the receipt information?

thanks for your help

the checkout success page created by the wizard should already be populated by the cart information, make sure the return URL you use is for the same exact domain.

in other words, if you start shopping at www.domain.com make sure the return URL point to www.domain.com and not domain.com

Jason, another question

using paypal payments standard.
on the confirm page the info that goes to paypal includes the item ID from this input

<input type="hidden" name="item_number_<?php echo $SecretWishes_Index+1; ?>" id="item_number_<?php echo $SecretWishes_Index+1; ?>" value="<?php echo $SecretWishes->DisplayInfo("ID") ?>" />

can i add another input to send the size to paypal?

thanks,

not add another input, but you can concatenate the size to the name input, just after the Item Number hidden element is one for name:

<input type="hidden" name="item_name_<?php echo $SecretWishes_Index+1; ?>" id="item_name_<?php echo $SecretWishes_Index+1; ?>" value="<?php echo $SecretWishes->DisplayInfo("Name") ?>" />

you can add the size to the name value:

<input type="hidden" name="item_name_<?php echo $SecretWishes_Index+1; ?>" id="item_name_<?php echo $SecretWishes_Index+1; ?>" value="<?php echo $SecretWishes->DisplayInfo("Name") ?> -Size: <?php echo $SecretWishes->DisplayInfo("Size") ?>" />

thanks Jason

One more question-
I have cart working with payments standard and the customer is automatically returned to /checkout_success.php
Can I add Paypal checkout express? If so, where would it be added and would checkout_success.php need to be changed any way?

durring the checkout wizard, you have the option to select to use express checkout to. I would delete the existing checkout pages, then re run the wizard and select the option to include checkout express.
