Can I pay for a friends purchase with paypal without my personal info being on transaction?

For example if I buy a friend something online and checkout with my paypal information, when they receive the gift with the purchase receipt in the box have my bank/credit card names/info on it or just my paypal account name?

Thanks

Hi Justineqt,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

Your financial information is not transmitted to a seller during a transaction, so any packing slip they include would not have that information.

 

The transaction information would be available within your own PayPal account, which is secured by your password. No one but you should ever log in to your account, so make sure not to ever share your password! 

 

I hope this helps!
