Hello Everyone,
I think this is the right place for this post. I've been charged to solve a problem for a friends business. Instead of having clients fill out a form on their website, by friends want to be able to collect 6-7 pieces of info in the Transaction Details page provided by Paypal. I have read that this it is possible to customize this using the Developers API. I truly don't mean to complain but have called Paypal several times, have spent almost 2 hours at this point on the phone just to get hung up on, misled and misinformed. My last attempt 6 days ago left me with "Tech suppoprt will email you within 24-48 hours with information to help with your issue." I have yet to hear from them.
Is this capability possible and if so where do I get started. I am unable to find specific info online. Many thanks in advance for any help that will point me in the right direction.

What do you mean when you say that you want to collect the info?

I need to match something from PayPal transaction details to the item ordered. Is there a way to get the cart # or order # from the storefront order?
Thanks!
