    Hi,

    When people pay with Paypal, we have some transaction details in the end of the submission. However, the transaction number doesn't appear. Is there a way to add it?

    Thanks

    Marie

    You may add your paypal transaction id on your email notification by inserting the tag {myPaypal:transactionid}. Replace "myPaypal" with your form's payment field tag,in your case I am assuming "choixDe".

    It's possible to strip the information of the payment section following this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/231-How-to-Strip-Payment-Labels-and-Separate-Payment-Info-on-Email-Alerts 

    However, PayPal itself does not include the transaction id, for example, this is the default and full info displayed for a PayPal transaction, this info is retrieved from the PayPal integration:

    You may need to create an invoice from your PayPal account, this article may help you: https://www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/article/how-do-i-create-and-send-an-invoice-faq3144#personal 

    You may also contact PayPal support in order to ask how to send invoices from PayPal transactions: https://www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/article/How-do-I-contact-PayPal-customer-service-FAQ1920 

    I hope this helps.
