Unfortunately there no features or options to customize the receipt sent by PayPal.
If you don't want to ask the customer for a shipping address during the Checkout process, include the variable "no_shipping" with a value of "1" in your item button code. The line of code would look similar to this:
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2">
Note the customer will still be prompted for an address for billing purposes.
Another option is to send you own follow-up email with the info you want to say.
And another option would be to setup a custom Thank You page using the Auto Return feature.
"Auto Return" immediately brings your buyers back to your specified URL upon payment completion. This feature replaces the standard PayPal hosted "Payment Done" page with a page hosted on your website.
To set up Auto Return, you need to turn it on in your Account Profile and enter the return URL that will be used to redirect your buyers back to your site.
Log in to your Account
Select "Edit Profile"
Under "Selling Preferences"
Select "Website Payment Preferences"
Note first option - Select "On" - Auto Return for Website Payments
Enter the Return URL.
Click "Save."
The Return URL specified in your PayPal Account is good for all transactions however, you can override this by using the "return" variable in your individual item button code and direct the buyer to a different URL. Example:
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/successful.html">
How it works:
* If the buyer pays with a PayPal account, they are automatically taken back to the site.
* If the buyer pays with the Credit Card Option, they are taken to the receipt page where PayPal gives them the chance to print out a receipt. This is a legal requirement. After that, the buyer must click on the "Return to Merchant" link in order to return to the site.
