Please help … this could be a life saver.
Here’s the thing: I offer help on hundreds of thousands of academic questions (~ over 200,000)… each tutorial for 4 dollars… it doesn’t make sense for me to add an id for each and every question making it an item…I tried that in one of the websites, but its impractical.
Cannot I do something like where I just MAKE ONE PRODUCT, and paste the same code under every question… all 200,000 or so…
Somehow I should be able to tell which post id (or the question in other words) was the payment made from – to know which question to solve … and email to my student.
I’m looking for a way to know that a transaction was conducted from which post/page.
One way I thought: make them enter the url in the “customer input” section … but that’s hopeless … many dont even know enough to bother …
Somehow the input variable for “customer input” should get assigned the post id number …
maybe this will help many in the future, if someone could help!
In anticipation THANKS a tonne …
I have never done it but it should be possible to add the POST ID in the custom input filed but this will need to be custom coded. Please contact us if you want to get some custom coding done.
Hello Amin/Ivy – I think that it is more justified now to maybe have the customisation, since the site has grown somewhat.
Maybe, instead of the postid, if the url itself could be traced, it would be a lot better, for me to just click and see what got sold!
I’m also going to email you, since you asked to contact.
Thanks
I thought you were going to send an email (you mentioned this in your post).
Tracking a full URL is not the same as tracking the POST ID. the URL can be long. The custom field of PayPal that is used to pass the data back to the post processing script has a limit of 256 characters (I don’t know why PayPal has this limit but they do).
It is possible to pass the URL but if your URLs are long then it can pose a problem.
Anyway, please send an email and I can give you a quote.
Thanks for the reply, Amin, sorry for the misunderstanding – I emailed you guys on the 11th, actually I emailed and then posted here
… using the contact form. Maybe should have used the support email … 
As long as I can find a post searching through the ID number in hand, I should be good …
Some of the URLs on my site are really long, something that is dangerous, for obvious reasons as you mentioned…
Gonna go write the mail now. Thanks!
