This seems a little strange from a data handeling point of view. There is no way to pull csv data from wordpress or paypal without doing a lot of data parsing. Can’t I get the product variations and free form input data to send seperately so that both paypal and eStore records this information as seperate data fields in each record?
This only seems logical.
Yes, that is logical but there are technical difficulties with the payment gateways involved. No all payment gateways allow you to pass in a variation data. So we implemented in a way that will work with all payment gateways. Yes, it does mean that pulling data into CSV file (where you want the variations in separate column) would be harder but it is not something our average users do.
Thank you for the affirmation, but do you have a solution or suggestion about how I might solve the problem? I am only interested in the PayPal gateway which I am sure does support multiple fields.
No, we don’t have a pre-made solution for this unfortunately. You could write a script that splits the variation data from the product name and then writes to the CSV file in a different column. If you are not a developer and you really need this then you can consider getting a custom job done from us.
No payment gateway (including Paypal) supports a “digital variation” so we couldn’t do this with PayPal either.
