PNREF Value
The PNREF is a unique transaction identification number issued by PayPal that identifies the
transaction for billing, reporting, and transaction data purposes. The PNREF value appears in
the Transaction ID column in PayPal Manager reports.
z The PNREF value is used as the ORIGID value (original transaction ID) in Delayed
Capture transactions (TRXTYPE=D), Credits (TRXTYPE=C), Inquiries (TRXTYPE=I),
and Voids (TRXTYPE=V).
z The PNREF value is used as the ORIGID value (original transaction ID) value in reference
transactions for Authorisation (TRXTYPE=A) and Sale (TRXTYPE=S).
N OTE: The PNREF is also referred to as the Transaction ID in PayPal Manager.
PNREF Format
The PNREF is a 12-character string of printable characters, for example:
z VADE0B248932
z ACRAF23DB3C4
N OTE: Printable characters also include symbols other than letters and numbers such as the
question mark (?). A PNREF typically contains letters and numbers only.
The PNREF in a transaction response tells you that your transaction is connecting to PayPal.
Historically, the contents of a PNREF indicated a test or a live transaction:
z For test servers, the first and fourth characters were alpha characters (letters), and the
second and third characters were numeric, for example: V53A17230645.
z For live servers, the first four characters were alpha characters (letters), for example:
VPNE12564395.
However, this is not always the case, and as a rule, you should not place any meaning on the
contents of a PNREF.
