texte = Eddie, You're almost there. The next step is to enable IPN on your = PayPal account (it's a setting in your PayPal acct. panel). IPN allows = you to create a page on your site that PayPal will "notify" when the = payment has been processed. This notification contains the original = payment's invoice identifier, so if you have an invoice number that also = identifies the customer via a lookup, you're golden. I have a pile of = code I can give you that works well with IPN if you need more help. Mike On Apr 11, 2013, at 9:02 PM, Eddie Z
