Gravity forms does a great job verifying the address matches that of the CC user through Paypal but does not allow PayPal to store the address. This is a required feature for PayPal buyer protection. If PayPal is unable to save the billing address they are unwilling to back the merchant if someone tried to cancel or charge back a fee. </p> <p>In speaking with Gravity they have stated that this is not currently available. Which does not make sense since the name and email are being mapped correctly. If anyone can shed any light on this I would highly appreciate it. </p> <p>Thanks ahead of time. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pasing-additional-fields-onto-paypal#post-22878 Sat, 09 Apr 2011 20:47:31 +0000 bghouse 22878@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl,<br /> Ignore previous post, as I found where to pass the information I needed.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pasing-additional-fields-onto-paypal#post-22877 Sat, 09 Apr 2011 20:25:33 +0000 bghouse 22877@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl, </p> <p>Actually, I have the same question and I already pass additional values than what is in the plugin on multiple other sites.</p> <p>I need to be able to pass:<br /> cpp_header_image<br /> cpp_headerborder_color</p> <p>I can't use the default PayPal page styles, as those are limited and I have a network of 60+ sites that all use the same paypal account. so I simply pass those values on submit with:<br /> &lt;input name="cpp_header_image" type="hidden" value="path-to-my-header-file.jpg" /&gt;<br /> &lt;input name="cpp_headerborder_color" type="hidden" value="#FFFFFF" /&gt;</p> <p>I've been staring at the code in paypal.php for a while now. I know it will make this difficult to upgrade in the future - but I need to be able to pass those values or I can't use this feature. Could you tell me where I can put these? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pasing-additional-fields-onto-paypal#post-20142 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 13:46:49 +0000 Carl Hancock 20142@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What are you trying to pass the team name too?</p> <p>The fields that you can map in the PayPal settings when mapping fields to PayPal (name, address, etc.) are the only fields the PayPal Standard API supports passing data to. </p> <p>The other data that gets passed to PayPal is the product data itself.</p> <p>There isn't anyway to pass additional information via the PayPal API other than what is there. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/pasing-additional-fields-onto-paypal#post-20141 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 13:33:54 +0000 ryancon18 20141@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a registration form, it passes the standard information to PayPal (name, address, etc) but I would like it to include some additional fields to help me line up the PayPal confirmation with the confirmation receipt from Gravity Forms. The biggest problem is that we can have people register the same team name just in different age groups. I just want to pass on the team name and age group to paypal so that is is sent in their confirmation e-mail.</p> <p><a href="http://www.pnaau.org/?page_id=418" rel="nofollow">http://www.pnaau.org/?page_id=418</a></p> <p>I am sure that this exists and I am just over looking it. </p>
