Here’s the code for my Paypal button: 

<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
    <input type="hidden" name="business" value="my@email.com">
    <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="GB">
    <input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="products">
    <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
    <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
    <input type="hidden" name="rm" value="0">
    <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.example.com">
    <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="My Item">
    <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="25.00">
    <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">
    <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF:proceed_btn.gif:NonHosted">
    <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="4BD9569402CDE">
    <input type="image" src="http://www.example.com/image.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.">
    <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

Is it possible to add the item_number to the return URL?

For example, after completing the payment within PayPal the user gets sent back to http://www.example.com?item_number=4BD9569402CDE

    I’ve decided to go about it a different way.

    I realized that you can tell PayPal to send back all of it’s queries via POST, so I’ll add some POST checks to my PHP and it should work fine.

    Thank you for the responses.
