Hello,

I'm trying to keep track of purchases made from my website by having Paypal redirect users to a page on my site after purchase, and writing the information received to an Access Database. I'm using ASP.NET 2.0, C#, Visual Web Developer 2005.

What I do not know is how Paypal returns payment information to the redirect page. Does it post the information to the page? If so what are the individual form value names. Basically I need a way to get the Payment information FROM paypal, writing it to the database I have no problem with.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please note I'm also passing a number (through the "custom" Form Variable that the user never sees.

Thanks in advance,
Julian
