Passing parameters to/ from paypal

What is the best way of passing data to PayPal so that as part of the list payment processing further updates can be done once payment is confirmed.

Exactly what you are trying to do? Let me know so that I can understand and give you the answer to your question

I am trying to use pmform as a payment gateway to my own application. The workflow I want to implement is something like this:

1: my component captures some data
2: I Call pmform to collect the payment passing some form if Id of my database record
3: payment completes and control passes back to my component to store the database record and capture the payment.info

Hope that helps clarify things

Hi Mike

1. Add a new field in #__pf_payments table to store ID of the record of your custom component

2. Once payment is processed, you have ID of the payment record in Payment Form. And base on that ID, you can get ID of your record

3. Do anything you want with your own data

I think you should do the step #2 and #3 inside a Payment Form plugin, process onAfterPaymentSuccess event trigger. See plugins/pmform/account/account.php for a sample plugin which process that event
