I offer e-learning materials on my website, and what I would like to do on the success page is push the other modules, and to do that I would like the title of the module they purchased to be sent as a variable to the success page, so i can pick that up and basically tick it off, whilst showing the customer that we do have toher modules.

 

Does Paypal do this?

There's no off the shelf option that would do that for you however, with a bit of programming and the use of PayPal's IPN feature and the "return" variable, you may be able to do what you have in mind.

 

For starters, see this thread:

And this one:
