Hi Daniel,

When you view the details in the PayPal account, it does display the item as the event name + Price type under the shopping cart contents:

Also, there is a unique transaction ID # that will be in the details of the transaction in the PayPal account and in the payment details in the Event Espresso admin.

Hi Daniel,

It sounds like you want to add an Item ID. This will require some modifications to the paypal_vars.php file in the PayPal gateway.

In this example, we’ll use the event_ID as the item ID. First we’ll add the event ID to the SQL query (line 25) :

$SQL = "SELECT a.final_price, a.orig_price, a.quantity, ed.id, ed.event_name, a.price_option, a.fname, a.lname ";

Then we’ll add the new field (line 38, just below the quantity field) :

$myPaypal->addField('item_number_' . $item_num, $item->id);

Then when you download a CSV of the transactions history in your PayPal account history, you’ll want to check the box that says “Include Shopping cart details”
