accounting / PayPal

yes, download history shows products purchased. but Recurring Payments DO NOT SHOW WHAT PRODUCT THE PAYMENT IS FOR! Not even the sub#.

anyone else run into this when downloading history from PayPal and trying to do accounting?

e.g.

only shows:

3/25/2013 6:38:25, Mike Jones, Recurring Payment, Received, Completed, USD 29.95 -1.47 28.48, user@gmail.com,	admin@site.com, 7YE50692HS53451X, Website Payments Pro,  Credit

That’s something on PayPal’s side of things, and I’d recommend contacting PayPal directly on how you might accomplish what you need here. If PayPal has a way (which I’m pretty much certain they do not, as they’re processing the recurring payments on their side) to provide that information in recurring payments, let us know and we’ll have our development team look into it.

Alternatively, if you’d like to have a cleaner way of keeping your records, you might have a developer look into setting up a Payment Notification handler with s2Member. s2Member does get the Subscription ID for these payments, and you can use this information if you know a bit of PHP.
