Sending detailed information to Payment Processors
September 21, 2011, 01:11:10 pm
Hi all,

Is CiviCRM capable of modifying the information sent to Payment Processors?  For example, my org uses PayPal Website Payments Pro.  Users sign up for workshops in CiviEvents.  We have two different fees for each workshop: one for members, and another for non-members.  When our bookkeeper logs into PayPal to review transactions, she receives the following information:

Item Title:   
   "Online Event Registration: SW 101.10 Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems"

There's also an Invoice ID, Date, Time, and other things that seem to be inconsequential.  What I want to know, is if we can add or modify that Item Title on CiviCRM's end.  Change it to say something different, or include whatever we want, so it could even say "Workshop Registration:  SW 101.10 Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems", or say "Online Event Registration: SW 101.10 Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems - Non-Member Admission".

You can implement this hook and alter what is sent to the PP:
