Question:
I’m looking at purchasing this for my 2020 pathfinder. I want to make sure I will be able to install a 7 pin wiring kit. What would I need to purchase beyond this? I have a factory pathfinder with the S trim. How can the 7 pin wiring be secured to this kit? Please send part numbers of what would be needed.

I'll start out by confirming that the Curt Hitch item # C13309 you were looking at does fit the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder. I have attached an installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how to get it set up.
To add a 7-way connector, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # 118273. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Pathfinder's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located just behind the rear bumper, near the center of the vehicle. There's also a couple of relays you'll need to install. We made of a video of this harness being installed on a 2020 Pathfinder awhile back that will do a better job of explaining in detail where they are located. It has also been linked.
I recommend securing the 7-way connector to your hitch using the Curt Easy Mount Bracket item # C58000. I took a look at the back of your Nissan and there isn't room to add it to the side of the hitch's crosstube. This mounting bracket attaches directly to the end of your 2" receiver. It will put the 7-way in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
Here are a couple of other parts you will need to tow a trailer with brakes with your Pathfinder:
Brake Controller - Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller item # RED24FR and Wiring Adapter item # RED39FR
Ball Mount - Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534
