Get buyer information via javascript function

[ajarrow]

In my checkout flow, I am redirecting to a confirmation page where I would like to show the buyer name and address. Is there any way to get that information and insert it via javascript? I just need to know how to get the info in my PayPal checkout function in javascript. Thanks

Buyer name gets returned in onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {

The buyer first name and last name are in the details function

So using JQuery to get them 

        $('#transmsg').html('<b>' + 'AUTHORIZED...' + '</b>');
        $('#transmsg').append('<br>'+'Transaction completed by: ' + details.payer.name.given_name +' '+ details.payer.name.surname + '<br>' + "Order Id: "          + details.id + '<br>' + 'Status: PAID & APPROVED' + '<br>'+ 'Thank You For Your Order'+ '<br>');

Now the address is a bit tricky as you to get that from an IPN call.  Personally, IPN were a PAIN in the **bleep** so I deccided NOT to use them/it.

But if you REALLY need the address go for it.

Actually, I got most of this figured out by studying the docs. As for the buyer address, I got that (and the full name as well) by going into this:

details.purchase_units[0].shipping

Then, as I am using vanilla Javascript, I created this:

var buyerInfo = [details.purchase_units[0].shipping.name.full_name, details.purchase_units[0].shipping.address.address_line_1, details.purchase_units[0].shipping.address.admin_area_2, details.purchase_units[0].shipping.address.admin_area_1, details.purchase_units[0].shipping.address.postal_code, details.id];

And then I added it to sessionStorage and went from there. This way I was able to get the full name with one line and it was the only place I could find an address. Thanks so much for your help!
