Tracking PayPal Payments

Using dynamic urls & PHP

[mrsolutions]

If I have an url like this:

domain.com/payment.php?source=mygooglead

How do I pass this information onto the PayPal payment button so I can track where my sales are coming from?

[mrsolutions]

anyone have an answer to this?

this depends on how your process your payments. if your using the ipn, store your "source" variable in the hidden "custom" variable before sending it to paypal and it will come back to you once the payment is processed.

if your just using "buttons" and not using ipn, think about adding the "source" variable to the "item_number".
