You are using WordPress 3.5.2.
You are using Event Espresso – 3.1.33.3.P
This installation has been in place for months, though updates are installed whenever WordPress notifies me that they are available.

I’ve got a couple of active events right now. Both provide attendees the option to pay online via PayPal. PayPal is the only payment processor we use. When someone pays online I expected that the title of the event would carry over into PayPal, so that when a PayPal report was run it would list the event name so our finance person could know where to transfer the funds. However, I was notified that what comes through on the PayPal end is “Shopping Cart” rather than the name of the event. I logged into the PayPal account and verified this for myself.

We will never have a person registering for multiple events during one process. All of our other PayPal transactions (done via direct link from our site to PayPal) reflect the name of the product/service in the “Order Description” field. How can I have Event Espresso do this for us too so that everything is consistent, for reporting purposes? Please advise. Thanks.

Hi Wayne,

The plugin should be passing over the event name by default even with Multiple Event Registration active.

I took a look but couldnt see a report that actually displays the product name, which report are you using?
