Hi there, Which PayPal payment method are you using? |
|
|
I am currently using Payflow Pro. |

Would using stripe allow me to track the event name that people have paid for if there isn;t a way to get paypal to show me that info. |
Hi there, The latest version of the Payflow gateway (1.0.4.p) has just been pushed live, this version includes the event name within the description by default. If you do not see the update on your dashboard go to Event Espresso -> General setting and click to save the settings to force a recheck. |

No, update to the latest version, create a new registration and pay using PayPal PayFlow. The order description will now be ‘Event Registrations from {site name} for {event name}’ on any transactions made using the latest version of PayFlow. |

I’m not really sure where you want the details to show, do you mean within PayPal? Maybe add a screenshot that highlights the section you mean (remove and personal info first): https://eventespresso.com/wiki/troubleshooting-checklist/#screenshots |

Yes sorry I was referring to details that show up in the shopping cart on paypal. |
Hmm, there’s only so much information the payment providers allow you to send over, so adding attendee details may take the description over that value. The order description is now filtered so it is possible to add additional details in if you are comforatble with PHP, take a look within EE at the |
