Does the basic Shopping Cart (Payments Standard) capture the buyer's contact information?

[sullivanandco]

Probably a silly question, but I just want to make sure before I meet with a client tomorrow...

When I buy something using the basic shopping cart, and I sign in to my Paypal account, I can review my order and select shipping options etc before placing the order.

Just above the "Pay Now" button, it says "Contact information" -- does this information get sent to the merchant? I'm assuming yes... but you know what happens when you make assumptions.

Thanks!

Hello

Sorry someone did not reply sooner. The answer to your question is - yes, the buyers information will be sent to the Merchant. You will be able to log into your PayPal account and view the transaction details in your History Log. I hope this helps.

Heh. Actually, Misty, if I could just get oooooone little clarification: does the buyer's contact information always include their email address, or is that optional (or not revealed)?

THANKS!
