</div>

If we link paypal express gateway in our ror code, we can get address  
details as

@address = details\_response.address

@name = @address[‘name’]

From that we can get the name of the user

Is it possible to get first name and last name components separately  
from paypal ?

Please help

Thankx in advance,

Sharanya

details\_response.params[‘first\_name’] etc will get what you’re looking  
for.

Assuming, of course, that you’re using ActiveMerchant - which is  
strongly suggested based on the code, but probably should have been  
specified in the question.
