explicitly checking status of payment on return page

    hello,
    I would like to display a specific extra content (a form) to be shown on the return page loaded ONLY after successful payment (that SHOULD NOT be visible if the page is directly called).

    As far as I’m able to understand, the only parameter available on that page in such case is the value of “PayerID” passed via GET (without any POST available): is there a way to obtain other parameters used for example to compile the debug log (e.g. the “payment_status” value) on the fly on that page and use it in a simple php if cycle (via proper plugin that allows to use php in pages) to achieve what I want?

    thank you in advance for any help ??

    @funkoolow, Do you have the Payment Data Transfer feature (PDT) enabled in your PayPal account?

    seems not, I presume it’s something I need to enable in the sandbox seller account, right? Can you refer a starting point in your excellent plugin docs or somewhere else?

    thanks for your response and excuse me if it was a dumb question – checked online docs before asking without finding any reference to that topic…

    @funkoolow, Yes, it needs to be enabled in the seller account. The plugin doesn’t really use PDT for processing payments. So I’m not sure how it works.

    This should help you find the option in your PayPal account: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEMUw84MIdQ
