one more field, paypal ipn

Post by m2babaey »

Hi
I'm setting up a paypal ipn. i far as i know, paypal will send me the users details ( name, address etc) but i need another thing to know. I need to know the username of the one who has paid. ( username with which he/she has registered on my site)
I display a form field named Username, what happens when the form is submitted to paypal? will paypal post me back the username? if so what will be the index name ($_POST[??])?
thanks

Typically postback systems will send back any extra data you send them. They have plenty of docs on their postback system so you best bet is to check that out.
