Getting the Payer Information in PayPal Classic API

I am using at the moment the Classic API from PayPal to create a one time payment, however when I called the GetExpressCheckoutDetails, I don't receive any information about the Payer.

Notice: I am using Google Go as a programming language

It depends on when you call GetEC. GetEC (GetExpressCheckoutDetails) doesn't necessarily respond with the payer info, because the payer may not be present yet.

Payer info and Payer ID are only available once the payer agrees to pay (he/she signs into PP and fills in the right info and clicks the Continue or Pay button), which means in this case you'd be calling GetEC AFTER the payer agrees to pay and gets back to your system for DoEC. This way GetEC will give you payer info.

Here is GetEC doc: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/GetExpressCheckoutDetails_API_Operation_NVP/
