Setting purchase order number or customer reference number with PayPal Payflow


Using PayPal Payflow with hosted pages (and submitting using NV pairs), when reviewing transactions using the "Search Transactions" functionality in PayPal Manager, there is an ability to search by Purchase Order Number. Additionally, when viewing details for a transaction, there is a Cust Ref #.

I have not been able to figure out how to set either of these values - the customer reference # is always blank, and the search by purchase order never returns results.

Is there any way to set these fields during the process?


Solution

  • CUSTREF for customer reference
    PONUM for purchase order
