Is there a way through the cart upload function to change the name of the business that is displayed? I see can include a logo via the API, and via the PayPal account I can include a website URL, and customer service contact information. But I would like to display a different company name to prevent customer confusion. Unfortunately, the legal company name is greyed out and cannot be changed.

Unfortunately, I'm not seeing any variable for that in their reference.
However, I know you can do that with the Classic Express Checkout API. Specifically, in the SetExpressCheckout request you can set a value for BRANDNAME.
(Optional) A label that overrides the business name in the PayPal account on the PayPal hosted checkout pages.
Character length and limitations: 127 single-byte alphanumeric characters.
If you would like an estimate on replacing your Cart Upload integration with Express Checkout so that you can use this feature feel free to reach out directly.
Hope that helps!
