- If User uses direct credit card to pay for the order, the resultant $result object would have this information:

}- As you can see the Payer object has different information based on "payment_method". If the payment_method is "paypal", it would have payer Info object, that has firstName and lastName.
Solution
- The ideal solution would be to check for payment_method, and based on that, we can retrieve the information.
- For Credit Card payments, we could get information based on credit card name. However, it may have more than one funding instrument.
P.S. I have used json_encode command instead of var_dump to echo the $result variables. This solves the issue with not showing complete information in var_dump

After a paypal transaction has been approved I write the name and email of the buyer to our own db. But sometimes this fails:
