Hi:

My site has unique customer ID (Not Email address or paypal account).

I created a Pay Now Button and Tried IPN service.

After customer used paypal to complect the transaction, is there any way to link the transaction ID given by Paypal IPN, to customer ID of my Site?

Thanks for the help!

Alan

I would suggest using a Database, you would use IPN and then pass the userID in the "custom" variable:

Code:
<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="<?php echo "$userID"; ?>">


then you would get that custom variable back in the IPN post then associate it with the transaction ID in the database.

This will work with IPN and any language, as long as you pass the variable in the POST to PayPal. I don't have an example in ASP.NET but it would be similar to the PHP one above.

If you have further questions please let me know. (nate@ndswebdesign.com)
