   | PayPal IPN Payer Transaction ID Question Just got a little question I'm struggling to find the answer to, and feel free to correct me if I have any facts wrong. When PayPal generates a transaction, there are 2 transaction ID's. One is for the buyer, the other the seller. I know this much as buyers cannot access the txn_id returned by PayPal's IPN service. Is there any way of finding out a customer's transaction ID so I can link them directly to their payment record in a script? I've looked through PayPal documentation and can't see anything, but maybe I'm just tired... Thanks for any help!

| This has annoyed me before. I wasn't able to come up with a solution but it wasn't an urgent factor at the time so I didn't search high and low for one. It would be interesting to see if anyone has any insight. Maybe I'll look into again.

 | I am not sure if this will answer your question, but have you tried to use paypal IPN? Paypal IPN carries lot of information to your server such as txn_id, custom value, etc which you can record on your database.

| The standard IPN notifier definately doesn't have their transaction id in as I had the system record them for me. Thanks for the suggestion though!

| How do you mean? The transaction id is just for customer/your records and for finding it after payment has been made...
