item title not showing in paypal

When a purchase is made and you are sent to checkout at paypal, where at the top of the page where it shows "description", usually the product title is displayed on the paypal page but instead, I get the website title instead of my product title.

I guess that is because it works like that for paypal buttons but not for this cart.

I noticed that in paypal.php there is:
$ouput .= 'config->get('config_store') . '" />' . "\n";

And that puts that puts the store title in the item_name.

Can I have it show the item title instead of the store name or would that cause problems if thier were multiple items?

I actually installed the plugin that he discussed above. Works perfectly and customizes paypal to integrate more with the site. The users get to review what they are paying for in a shopping cart style look. Each product is shown and not just a lump sum.

Curious: If the user can review individual products on the Paypal side and decides to e.g. remove some items before the final (revised) payment, how does OpenCart keep track of it once back in there?

yes the cart items from opencart to the paypal cart are fixed. you cannot modify them in any way on the paypal side.  also provides support to place a 750X90 banner & change some colors of the check out.

with this you can controll the return url and the cancel url from the paypal site

with this in place it is working wether there is a call back or not as well    great safety net
