How to Hide email address from paypal button?

Date: July 7, 2013 Author: ang Category: Internet Tips Tutorials Websites Tags: , , Comments: 0

If you've created a paypal buynow or donation button, you'll notice that PayPal displays your primary email account attached to your PayPal account. This is very annoying isn't it. Unfortunately you can't hide this. At least I haven't figured out how to, but you can create another email account and display it in place of your primary payPal email address.

How to add another email to your PayPal account

  1. Log into your PayPal account
  2. Click on 'Profile' link in the main nav area.
  3. Click on 'Update Email' under the 'Quick Links' area.
  4. Click the 'Add' button.
  5. Enter in your new email address and click the 'Save' button.
  6. Log into your email account and verify the 'Confirm My Email Address' link.
You now have this email address connected to your PayPal account and you can use this email address to display for particular payment and donation buttons.

How to set the email to your PayPal donation button

  1. Log into your PayPal account.
  2. Click the 'Merchant Services' button like you normally would when creating your donations button.
  3. Click the 'Create payment buttons for your website'.
  4. Click the 'Donate' link.
  5. Check the 'Use my primary email address' option on 'Step 1' and select the email address you want to display for this button. 

Finish creating your button. When someone clicks the donations button, they will see the email address you specified for this particular button.
