How can a PayPal button be redirected to a page with session data and other parameters after payment?
To redirect a PayPal button to a page with session data and other parameters after payment, you can use the PayPal Instant Payment Notification (IPN) feature. This involves setting up a listener script on your server that receives notifications from PayPal about the payment status. In the listener script, you can retrieve the session data and other parameters, then redirect the user to the desired page.
<?php
// PayPal IPN listener script
// Retrieve session data and other parameters here
// Redirect to the desired page after payment
header("Location: https://example.com/thank-you.php");
exit();
?>
