NOTE: 

Custom PayPal buttons are generated through your Paypal account. Sales via a custom button do not go through the FASO cart. Hence, they will not listed in the Sales and Customers screen and will not receive a FASO sale notification.  
For custom buttons your client/transaction details will only show in your Paypal account.  
Sale notifications will come directly from Paypal.
