Good day @maharajg,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

Merchant can able pass the custom values using the parameter as "custom".

<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="XYZ">

But, merchants can't "Dynamically" change the "custom" value while integrating "Hosted_button_id" code.

You can pass "Dynamically" pass different "custom" values by integrating "Non-hosted" button code.

I request to please contact your website developer to refer the below guide link to create "Non-hosted" button code and pass the "Dynamic/Different" custom values.

Note : To get the customer "require billing address" option, please contact our PayPal Customer service via link - https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/contact-us (then choose at the bottom one of the contact methods - email or phone).

Sincerely,
