Cannot retrieve values passed in "custom" field

I tried to set "custom" field with a value, I expected to see it in merchant email notification and/or in the order detail of my merchant account.

Unfortunately there is nothing, maybe a sandbox issue?

Hi @SimoneSecci

The "custom" variable is returned in the instant payment notification data and if you query the transaction via GetTransactionDetails API request

I need more help with this: How can I get the value of the "custom" field while navigating

in "Activity" or "Summary" on the website?

Hello,

You can't the "custom" variable is returned either via PDT or IPN.
