PayPal Forwarding Verification Successful

Question

I am trying to get my Paypal subscription to redirect to a user page after a successful verification.

Before sending to Paypal, I overload the send handler, run my own function (for storing information) and return a unique identifier. I want to bind this identifier to my returned URL. (like GET or POST var, so to speak)

I have included "on" auto-redirect in my Paypal sandbox seller preferences, but it seems to only redirect the URL that I MUST insert there.

using <input type="hidden" name="return" value="someurl" /> doesn't seem to work.

I want it so that I can record user information when entering using the "unpaid" flag, and then through IPN I can update this record with the "PAID" flag, and I want to use a unique ID to bind it all so that it speaks.

Your hidden field name must match the accepted variable name required by PayPal. Does ReturnUrl (case insensitive) not work?

 <input type=hidden name="RETURNURL" value="https://www.YourReturnURL.com"> 

Note. . I just studied and implemented express verification, so this may not correspond to your execution: https://cms.paypal.com/en/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_ECGettingStarted
