Get item name in PayPal payments

Question

I forward users from my website to the PayPal payment page via a simple POST request that contains payment information:

<FORM action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

This form contains everything that is needed including an hidden element "item" that describes the product to be paid. Amazingly in my PayPal backend I never see the value of this "item" field but only the name of the person who paid.

So: what has to be changed to see the item/product name together with the received payments?

Thanks!

Answer 1

You should take a look: Paypal variables

item_name

Description of item. If this variable is omitted, buyers enter their own name during checkout.

• Optional for Buy Now, Donate, Subscribe, Automatic Billing, Installment Plan, and Add to Cart buttons
• Not used with Buy Gift Certificate buttons

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Elmi, the name of the variable for the name of the object is "item_name".
Hope that helps.

Answer 3

您应该使用字段名称“item_name”而不是“item”
