Reading POST Data after auto-return

On my .NET website I use both "Buy Now" and "Subscribe" buttons.

The "buy now" button works OK: after buying the visitor is returned to website and I see his Paypal details in POST (via Firebug), and I can access them with "Request.Form("...")

However, when I use "Subscribe" button, the user is returned to website with only empty GET request, as he was simply entering the URL.

How I can get the buyer's details when he does monthly subscription?

Are you using the return and rm parameters in your Subscribe button? PayPal's docs state the following for the rm parameter, which sounds like what you need to adjust.

Return method. The FORM METHOD used to send data to the URL specified by the return variable. Allowable values are:

  • 0 – all shopping cart payments use the GET method
  • 1 – the buyer's browser is redirected to the return URL by using the GET method, but no payment variables are included
  • 2 – the buyer's browser is redirected to the return URL by using the POST method, and all payment variables are included The default is 0.

Note: The rm variable takes effect only if the return variable is set.
