Can the text "Price per item" on the purchase details page be customized?

We have a business account and used the create button tool to create a Pay now button for our website. We wanted a simple solution for patients to have the option to pay their bill online. My question is, after the visitor clicks the Pay Now button, the resulting "purchase detail" page has text saying "Price per item". Can we change that text to read "Amount of payment" instead?

Unfortunately you cannot alter or change the text on the PayPal Checkout Screens however, I believe there is a work around.   By allowing the patient to input an amount on your web page instead of the on the PayPal Checkout Screen, what they see on the Checkout Screen will be a little different.   The online button creator is a great tool as you can generate basic code in a snap however, sometimes you need to take a different approach and manually create the code.   For learning purposes, see the example below - it's intended for people to pay their bill online and uses the Buy Now button command.  You can even get creative if you're into creating scripts as you can make the fields required but, that lesson is for another day.

I want customers to enter Rent due instead of price per item, but I didn't want to spend time with custom coding.  I just changed the description field that shows above to read Rent due (Enter amount in price per item field).  Not perfect but gets the job done.
