Paypal Question?

by gordonmartin2013

I am looking to change the Paypal name on a button generated at Paypal, but not change my primary email address. Can this be done, and if so, how?

When you look at the paypal payment page, my email address is at the top of the page (top left hand corner) in bold.

See

https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/we...22063ff41faaba

to see what I mean, instand of the email, I would like to have in there either a business name or maybe put in the name of the product I am selling

I know how I can change this information top left of that page by changing my primary email address, but this was not what I was trying to do

Has anyone any helpful suggestions please?

Warmest Regards,

Gordon

    I get an error when I visit the link. Regardless, I'm pretty sure that information is auto-populated based on your actual Paypal account data.

    You can however co-brand the Paypal check out pages, take a look at this link for more info.

      @unatural, I was getting the page, but I see when trying it now, it is telling me I am timed out, probably need a screenshot uploaded that would be better

      Yes it is populated based on your paypal account data, but in the top left corner, what is populated is your primary email address in bold, and it is that I am looking to change

      I will have a look at the link that you have provided

      Thanks so much for your help

      Warmest Regards,

      Gordon

    I registered as a business, so my business name is there for my Paypal screens. I don't think you can change that without changing what you registered as.

      This was my thoughts, I may have to either cnage my Paypal Account to be registered as a businesss, or open another account, it is my understanding that you can have up to three accounts, but each account must have a separate bank account linked to it, I am not 100% sure that is right though, so I will need to check that out further

      Thanks so much for your help

      Warmest Regards,
