Include order number with Paypal email

My client wants the Paypal payment confirmation email to contain the zen cart order number. I know that the zen cart order is generated only after the payment is approved by Paypal. However it may be possible to add one to last order and pass it as a parameter and have it printed. My question is if it is easy to do so? Has anyone done it?:unsure:

Not a good idea. Why does the client thin it is needed?

I agree. I told him so. However he thought it was easier to cross-reference the payment and order.

Re: Include order number with Paypal email

The payment details will be in the Zen Cart Admin associated with the order. No need for the order number in the PP email. Not to mention all the potential problems of guessing the order numbers.
