I have a Pay Now button on my website, and my clients use it to make payments for my appraisal service. How can I include an automatic email receipt upon receipt of their payment? If you need to see the page in order to see the code, it's https://integrityappraisals.com/paynow.htm

Hi @integapp ,
I think there's no direct feature like that. Usually Paypal sends the email to buyer and seller when the order is placed via Paypal payment method.
If you want to use a custom email to be sent out on sucessful payment. Here's how you can try.
you can set up PayPal's Instant Payment Notification (IPN) or use PayPal Webhooks, if you have a more advanced setup.
Once the IPN/webhook enabled on your account, PayPal will send a notification to the IPN/webhook endpoint URL whenever a payment is made. Once you get the message
- Validate the message.
- Check the payment status (it should be "Completed" for IPN, "PAYMENT.SALE.COMPLETED" for webhooks).
- Send an email receipt to the customer using your server’s mail function or an email API.
refer to paypal documentation on IPN and webhook feature.
