Passing data to Payflow Pro Comment1

[boone]

Is it possible to pass data to the comment1 field in payflow pro?

I'd have to ask Development if we already use that field for any purpose, but we have no way to pass a custom value in that field. What type of data did you want passed to Payflow Pro in that field? We might be able to suggest an alternative approach or indicate where we already report that data elsewhere.

I need to pass text so that it appears in our processor report as a "web sale".

Is this to distinguish your online orders from other transactions in your PayPal account, or will this only be for certain online orders versus other online transactions.

It's for differentiating these web orders from orders from our other web store.

Development is looking into this. If we can make it work, you would need to add a &custom= parameter to all of your E-junkie Add to Cart button URLs on the relevant site, like so:



<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=100100&cl=20545&ejc=2&custom=sitename" target="ejejc" class="ec_ejc_thkbx" onClick="javascript:return EJEJC_lc(this);"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/ejadd_to_cart.gif" border="0" alt="Add to Cart"/></a>



Note that all Cart buttons on a given site must use the same &custom= value, but if you use E-junkie to sell on multiple different sites, you could use a different &custom= value for each site. If we can make it work for PayFlow Pro, we would then pass that value to PayFlow, possibly in the Comment1 field if possible, or possibly in another field if necessary. We'll post a followup with details here when Development has this sorted out.
