Hi Davide... PayPal has the ability to pass an optional "text field" that the customer can enter data into. For instance, I have a need for the user to enter a GUID into the Buy Now button, so I can encrypt the data I am returning to him.
The "text field" is readily available on the Buy Now button created on the PayPal website. Can we have it on the Details tab of the PayPal object? |

The "field" has to be one that PayPal will return to me via email or IPN... could you let me know when it's available?
Thanks Davide... |

Any luck? I found this, but couldn't get it to work properly... kept saying PayPal had a problem with my page...
GUID: <input type="text" name="GUID" value="enter value here" /><br /> |

Yesterday I checked the paypal site for this field; this is a field that has a custom name and a custom value and has only to be included into the paypal form.
Seems to be quite simple |

First set of questions: how does it work? What I needed was a place for the user/buyer to place a GUID which would be sent back to me via email from PayPal... will this do it?
Also, just tested it and this is what I'm getting: PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem. |

Or let me know how to implement such as feature |

rmm,
ahh ok, you were referring to the custom fields (on0, os0, on1, os1), I already used them in the past. and I receive the value entered via email.
>Also the error I'm getting is caused by checking the "Protect from Spam" checkbox.
> PayPal doesn't like the [***]. I removed that, and am no longer getting the error...
Yes, there is a bug...

| Error: (D): PayPal1: type mismatch... I entered "GUID" in the Custom Field Name and "Enter GUID here" in the Custom Field Value... somehow, I don't think this is working like the buttons you can make from the PayPal website. Haven't tried the email address thingie yet... |

I just tried 6.066, and if you changed the PayPal button, it still isn't working right... don't worry about it anymore, I'll get the buttons generated on PayPal and use them.
Thanks for trying tho'

| The USER is the one who has to enter the data, not me when I build the page... with your buttons, there is no way for the user to enter the data before it is sent to PayPal... |

Ah ok, yes this is impossible without javascript code. But the paypal tools are buttons so how to attach a textbox in Dynamic HTML Editor?
