Pass Contact info from Paypal to CiviEvent?
March 19, 2009, 09:42:32 am
Is is possible to have Paypal pass a registering person's contact information (name, address, phone, etc.) back to CiviEvent when they register for an event?  (Also, is it possible with Google Checkout?  We alternate between the two.)

currently we do not incorporate any name/address information from paypal/google. We used to do it, but this was confusing to the user base and hence eliminated that functionality.

Thanks lobo.  I thought I had read about it somewhere, but couldn't find it.  Glad to know I'm not crazy! 

On a related note, is it possible to use both Google Checkout and Paypal for the same event (so buyers can choose which they want to use)?

unfortunately not. But this has come up sporadically in the past. So if important to you consider making a contribution / sponsoring the development. Its a non-trivial project, so would be at least 50-100 hours, IMO
