    Default Adding additional fields to Paypal express checkout

    I've seen it done on other sites where they have additional fields before the "PayPal" checkout button.

    I've found the PayPal checkout button in /includes/modules/payment/paypal/tpl_ec_button.php

    What do I need to add in order to allow 2 more fields for PayPal?

    For Example - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...s_help_outside, but I will be using these fields to get other information like Additional Names and company names

    You don't want to do that. Zen Cart is way more advanced than PayPal's pseudo "cart" features.

    If you want to allow the customer to choose special options on individual products, you would use the built-in attributes features.
    If you set up a test site using Zen Cart with the supplied demo data, you'll see many examples of how attribute combinations can be used.
    The FAQ article on getting started with attributes can be found in the Tutorials/FAQs section here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=57

    No, in other words, there is a better way to do it than what was originally suggested.
