paypal

Is it possible to add extra fields i.e. dietary needs, how many are attending etc etc to a standard paypal pay now document? so that when I recieve payment I can also find out other information of people who will be attending my course?

So once someone has filled in their details and paid by pay I can receive a confirmation email advising me who booked, and that they have paid?

Please advise..

hope im being clear enough?

I think paypal is simply a way to exchange funds and nothing more.

I think you are going to have to collect the details yourself and then go through the PayPal. PayPal might have an API for passing a reference through to the payment process, you will have to check on their website.

If thats the case you will need some kind of data capture form and somthing server-side to deal with the input. You could use CGI-SCRIPT, PhP or ASP.NET for dealing with the form server side. These would allow you to store the data in a database and/or send it via e-mail.

You should consider some kind of privacy policy on your site to tell people how you are handling their data.
