The callback for the getMemo([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setMemo([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.message

Remarks

This property will reflect the memo as entered by your customer on the "PayPal Website Payments" page, in the "Note" field.

This property will be filled after calling either the FillFormVars or VerifyIPN method.

The value of this property is parsed out of the Instant Payment Notification data that was posted by PayPal to your webserver. If you are passing the entire post data to FillFormVars, this will save you having to parse each form variable separately.

This property is read-only.
