PayPal payment page

    So I'm using the default PayPal payment page, and everything works well, except that at the top of the page, the email address that the payment is being sent to is shown. I want my business name there, not the email address. How do I change that?

    By the way, I'm using a Buy it Now button, not a shopping cart, and I have button encryption turned off so that I can edit the button values.

    You need to be using a business account, and not personal or premier. Make sure that the correct business name is listed under: Profile -> Account Information -> Business Information

    Of course if you signed up for a Business Paypal account, make sure that you actually have a registered business as there are people here who signed up for one without a registered business and ended up with problems.

    That's what I was afraid of. It's a startup project that may or may not pan out, so I haven't registered it (and don't intend to unless it takes off) as a business.

    Showing your email address is not a bad option because they can associate that to you and a point of contact if they require assistance. Of course with that said, Paypal allows you to add up to 8 email address to your account so you could add an official email address for that particular site in there and associate it with the Buy Now button.
