A question about Mal's setup and Paypal

Hi,

I finally have my friend’s store up and running (but only with ersatz stuff in it – not really selling yet). So we decided to do a run through this morning and actually buy something. We were doing this over the phone and he was going to do the buying and I was following along on my computer.

Oh, yes, I’m using Mal’s E-commerce action suite.

Everything was going along well until he got to the PayPal sign-in page. On the left side of the page is the order summary and on the right side is where you sign in to PayPal (or set up a new account if you don’t have one).

On the left side of my page, above the summary was, in a larger font, email@hidden, my email address, which I didn’t ever really notice. But as we were comparing pages, it turned out that he, too, had my email address over his summary on the Paypal sign in sheet. Well, it seems obvious to me – though maybe I’m wrong – that during setup of the cart I somewhere have a field that puts its contents in that spot. But I don’t know what it is or where it is. I’ve been searching like mad and can’t find anything. I have a screenshot of this at:

Hi Martin,
This is the Paypal account ID (the email address registered with Paypal) and should be able to be changed in your Mals secure admin area.
Regards,
Tim.

Hi, Tim:

Thanks. You know, I thought that might be what it was, but it just seemed so strange that when someone is going to sign into Paypal to buy something from our site that they should just see the email address of some guy they never heard of above their account summary. I guess, if it has to be an email address maybe I could change it to something like email@hidden (which is an address I have). That, at least, would make more sense to someone seeing that page.

But I wonder whether I just go in and change that address it would somehow affect our Paypal setup with Mal’s? Well, I guess I could just try it and duck :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Martin
