PayPal and e-mail address...

Hi all - attempting to build a form which links to PayPal and having some success. The rub is that when the submit launches to PayPal, it's picking up and loading in the email address for my PayPal account, which I don't want exposed. In the Settings|Payment dialog I've supplied a bogus entry for the email address along with my token (see attached), but I suspect that the token itself is forcing a load of my real email address in the PayPal system's login dialog (also attached). Guidance really appreciated on this! Thanks, Ron

Hey Ron, I think the reason that is showing there, is because you are logging in from your own computer. If a customer goes to the paypal login then their email will show, not yours. You can test this simply by trying it from another computer on another IP after publishing the form. Try a neighbors computer or something. But I'm fairly sure yours won't show.

However, in WFB you should put your 'real' paypal email as that tells paypal where to put the money ( along with your token ). Still will not show your email to a customer. :cool:

You nailed it - coming in from a different system resulted in what I was hoping to see. Thanks for the tip!
