  1. POPayPal CUSTREF Not Appearing in PayFlow Pro Transactions with Secure Token (Transparent Redirect)
    text
    copied!<p>I'm using PayPal PayFlow Pro to process transactions. We've opted to use the secure token with transparent redirects to try and address PCI-Compliance issues.</p> <p>In my token request, I am specifying the CUSTREF parameter like so:</p> <pre><code>&amp;CUSTREF=461 </code></pre> <p>I have also created a hidden field for this in the transaction form. I have the HTTPS proxy enabled for Fiddler and I can see these values coming through in both the secure token and transaction requests. The transactions complete successfully on the live PayFlow gateway.</p> <p>However, when I view the transactions under <a href="https://manager.paypal.com/" rel="nofollow">https://manager.paypal.com/</a> > Reports > Daily Activity, the <em>Cust Ref #:</em> field on the detail page is empty.</p> <p>The parameter is discussed for use in inquiry transactions on page 71 of this document: <a href="https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/payflowgateway_guide.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/payflowgateway_guide.pdf</a></p> <p>I couldn't find much documentation on this field other than this. I had a look at some code samples, and it looks like the CUSTREF parameter should be passed in the transaction request (which was the first thing I tried), e.g.</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/angelleye/paypal/blob/master/PayFlowTransaction.php" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/angelleye/paypal/blob/master/PayFlowTransaction.php</a></p> <p>Has anyone encountered this before? I have a ticket open with PayPal.</p>
