How to get transaction information from PayPal donation?

I have a Donate button which was created using Paypal website, but what do I have to do if I want to save some information like if the transaction status, the value of the donation, etc..?

Solution

  • Info:

    1. Usually in most cases you can gather that information from running a history report or you can drill down and create a transaction detail report from the reports option (more / reports | may vary on UI); view the donation contents such as transaction ID, donation amount, ect.
    2. You can also create an IPN script to gather this data

    Simple Solution:

    1. You can view the contents of each donation as well through the PayPal email notification

    Hope this helps!
