Basic paypal IPN problem...doesn't show the item name on paypal

[sunny747]

Hello,
i'm using zencart 1.3.6 and Paypal Ipn as the payment module. I have noticed after checking out, on the paypal page the item name doesn't show up as my shopping cart. It makes it quite difficult for me to understand what item customer actually ordered. I would like to use paypal ipn than paypal express.
Any support would be very appreciable.

That is by design. The reasons have been discussed at length elsewhere on the forum.

zen cart sends a detailed receipt ( provided your ipn is set up correctly )
paypal chokes on discounts so it must be sent as a single total to overcome this
