With paypal checkout, what info can we get using their API?

开发者_JS百科If someone checks out and pays on paypal's site, what information can I get back from my transaction?

Do they have an API where I can pull all orders for the month, and can I get the customers information also?

I've found: Easy-to-Read Reports

View a summary of your account activity each month, including monthly sales, transaction details, and profit and loss.

Link: https://merchant.paypal.com/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=merchant/express_checkout

Which suggests that you can pull orders for the month, but I don't know if they're talking about doing it via the API or just their website. Were you wanting to do it only via the API?

Well, you can get information about the buyer, and also information about the order. I've found this URL, I will update my answer when I find out if you can pull orders for the month or not:

https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_admin_IPNIntro

If you scroll down to "A Sample IPN Message and Response", it lists all the stuff you can get back from PayPal after the payment is copmleted.

I'll keep looking for more info, but I think that's pretty much it.

Hope this helps.
