    The zenid information is the system number assigned to the connection between the customer's browser and your server. It's recorded only for reference.

    Is there some sort of problem with that number being present?

    yes for me its a problem as i just prefer it to be some reference like most sites have like an order number where for me its easy to print my paypal receipt and the customer receipt and just match up order number to order number instead of doing what i did the other day and that was having 4 paypal receipts with 4 customer receipts and had to match by name when it comes to my banking where the money is deposted since i use order numbers to reference each deposit and book keeping this would be better especially for anyone that would do my taxes.

    Is their a way to change this to where it matches the order number?
    I also wanted to add that it makes it more professional for it to have some type of reference that it was for a store order and not some strange bunch of numbers since this shows up on the customers paypal too

    Order numbers are NOT created until after the customer returns to your shop after paying by PayPal. Sorry- but you are stuck with the ZenID for now.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.
