I'll assume that you're using simple payment integration that requires your user to click the "return to merchant website" button to post the data back to your website.

You can access the session variables if (i) user completes the payment and comes back to your website before session expires (ii) the user returns to the website on which session was started. This means if your user starts checkout on "website.com" and the session is started here, the user should return to "website.com", not "www.website.com" for the session variables to be accessible.

Using sessions is not reliable; e.g. is user spends a long time on PayPal website, the session on your website will timeout. As a workaround, if you are interested in specific session variables, you can pass them to PayPal in custom hidden form fields; PayPal echos these fields back to your return script as-is.
