adding address always button buyer clear code completed consider content custom customer depending display easy email fairly html ignored info inside item main method page payment present process product purchase sales send site standard text thank-you-page thank-you-pages transaction url var version web

Hi there

I want to know what you mean by the following:

----------

Following parameters will be posted to this page using GET method. If you don't want to use these, they will be ignored.

* payer_email (Buyer's email address)
* first_name (Buyer's first name)
* last_name (Buyer's last name)
* txn_id (Transaction ID)
* payment_status (Will always be Completed unless you have requested us to process the sales even for pending payments, in which case this will be Pending)
* custom (Custom variable [if you had appended one to the purchase button's URL])
* auction_buyer_id (If this was an eBay listing)

----------

Does that mean it happens automaitcally - or do I need to code something into the HTML of my thankyou page to get the information displayed? The information isn't very clear.

Eskymo - you'll need to do some web programming to make this happen. Basically speaking, e-Junkie will send this information to a URL you specify using the "GET" structure (fascinatingly geeky article here: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/methods.html).

Basically speaking, you'll have to be able to decode that information from a URL string and then present it to the user as you see fit.

If that description makes sense then it's a fairly easy task - if it doesn't make sense then it's a fairly difficult task.

thanks for explaining that better...my friend now decided he likes the simplicity of just a bit of simple text on his thanks page and so thankfully I don't need to try and figure how to get all the info onto the page.

Thanks

Hi Dhacker

Is there any way to append more information to the HTML. Specifically, I need to know the item name. When a customer gets redirected to my thank you page, I want to do something different depending on what item the customer purchased.

I was thinking about adding a custom var to my button but that isn't secure. Anyone could simply append the custom var to their url and get a different version of my product.

Any ideas?

Steve

You might want to consider using this method to display the main content of your standard E-junkie-generated thank-you pages inside your site's thank-you page:

Then you could customize that E-junkie-generated thank-you page content with order-specific details using our templating variables:
