Hello BusinessWebs,

How are you currently generating your invoice payment links? Are these 'Buy now' buttons?

'Buy now' buttons support the 'invoice' parameter. If you were to add this on your site, buyers could enter their invoice number here and it would subsequently be passed on to us.

In addition, by using the 'invoice' parameter properly, you will also be able to download your history via the www.paypal.com website, and find the invoice numbers in there as well.

In order to add a text field for your buyers to enter an invoice number, simply add the following extra code to your existing 'Buy now' button:

<label for="invoice">Invoice number: </label><input type="text" name="invoice" value="">

Note: This code should go between the <form> and </form> tags of your PayPal button.
