    I want to give my items custom ID numbers when I create them. Is this possible? If not, this would be a killer feature in the future.

    Nope, Item IDs are for internal use and the primary key to the products database. The item ID needs to be unique and the only way to guarantee that every product will have a unique item number is to generate it automatically.

    I see. That would really be a cool feature. Thanks

    We use a third party fulfillment for an item but they expect a certain fixed item number in the notify from Paypal. The ID numbers in eStore are not changeable. Is there a workaround that we can use to also include a custom product ID number? Thanks and Happy Holidays.

    You can write a custom script that changes the item ID number to whatever you like then send the IPN to the 3rd party provider. Now all you need to do is tell eStore to send the IPN to this custom script. So instead of eStore sending the IPN directly to your 3rd party you are making it go through a filter where you get a chance to massage the data.

    tell eStore to send IPN to your script -> your script does the massaging of data -> your script then sends the data to the 3rd party
