Customising bank statement references (Paypal)

• You have the ability to add a custom statement descriptor (or reference) for each Paypal PayIn – this can be specified via the StatementDescriptor field in the Paypal Web PayIn object.
• The StatementDescriptor field can be up to 10 characters long, and can only include alphanumeric characters or spaces. This field is however entirely optional and can be left blank.
• The information shown on the bank statement is made up of two elements – the name of your account (specified when creating your account) and the optional statement descriptor payin reference. A full example is as follows:

  MGP* ClientName StatementDescriptor

• The information shown on the bank statement can be up to 22 characters long. If your ClientName is too long we truncate this field.
• You should be aware however that each bank handles this information differently – some may show less or none of the reference and we have no control over this – we continue to work with our partners to improve this
