    Feature request!

    First of all, I’d like to see more orders per page in the wpevent_menu.

    I’d also love to get all the orders within a date range in a downloadable csv. Yes, I know that this info is (mostly) available from Paypal’s activities downloads, but it’s mixed in with all the other PP transactions. As previously mentioned, I have to manually keep track of the cumulative amount of tickets in all the different price ranges by hand since attendance is limited by law, and this would help me write that script with somewhat less manual intervention.

    Normally, I’d just query a db on the WordPress side, but IIRC, all your data come directly from PayPal.

    OK, let me clarify a little!

    I USED to make my own reports out of the HTML on the wpevent_menu by laboriously turning the table into a CSV file. That’s because the ticket names and amounts aren’t propagated to the PayPal records. OTOH, the PayPal Records have the essential Names and Contact info that I need to have a list for people coming in so they don’t need their phones or to print out a ticket at all (both are keyed by the email address).
    Although the plugin is really great in terms of integration with PayPal and WordPress, the info to make entry lists that it collects is needlessly obscure. The idea of scanning in a printed or virtual bar code to check in sounds very convenient, but it’s nothing compared to a pencil and paper list, especially in a place with flaky internet connectivity, and cases where people are trading tickets or have flaky devices and printers themselves. The paper list is also way better for auditing purposes.
