Body: <p>We are using PayPal as our payment processor and Xero for our accounting. When reconciling the PayPal items generated from CiviCRM we noticed a field called &quot;Description&quot; that is usually empty. Is there any way of passing information to that PayPal field from a CiviContribute form? It would be monumentally helpful when reconcilling if we could pass simple descriptions like &quot;Dues&quot; or &quot;Building Fund&quot; to PayPal that we could then see in Xero (and use reconcilliation rules with).  Thanks.</p>
