Hi,

currently only the following information is printed as description in the PayPal invoice:

<subscription plan> [<subscription group>]

Which in my case is insufficient. I would like to add extra info just like the fields that can already be included in the email template ([ORDER_ID], [START], [END, etc.]).

Could you also tell me which php file is responsible for sending the PayPal data?

Best regards, Jeff

I found the file: /components/com_emerald/library/gateways/paypal/paypal.php

This line is responsible for the item name/description:

$param['item_name'] = $name;

Now I have to figure out to add some extra subscription data to this line.

You cannot add start and end there because it only adds those dates on success activation. Since activation sometimes may take long time, and start date is set immediately, user lose some time of subscription. For short subscriptions it might be crusial.

Order ID is $subscription->id;

That makes sense.
