Warning:
Unfortunately, PayPal doesn’t automatically update changes made to Offer Titles in customer invoices. Consequently, if the title of your offer is changed, the former title will still be shown on the invoice. Because of this issue, we recommend creating a new offer with the new title to ensure consistency for your customer purchases and invoices.

PayPal receipts

When a Member purchases an Offer with a PayPal account they will automatically receive a digital receipt in the email inbox associated with their PayPal account or the email address used when checking out as a guest with PayPal:
