    Hi,
    I installed paypal donations (by Johan Steen) on openmarketingfoundation.nl to use with my premier paypal account. I entered my paypal merchant ID. Instead of the ID my email address is appearing after clicking the payment button. That will generate lots of spam.
    I called PayPal support and they stated that the problem is not with PayPal and that I should contact the maker of the plugin.
    Any solution is very welcome
    Kind regards,
    Tony Thijs

    Hi Tony,

    PayPal support gave you incorrect information.
    Your email address is placed there by PayPal because you have a premier account, and you have no option to remove it with a premier account.
    You need to upgrade to a business account, then you will get the option in your PayPal account settings to replace the email address with your business name.

    Cheers,
    Johan
