Hi @Chipper121,

 

Welcome back to the Community! 

 

Each PayPal account has a unique merchant account ID. When you create a payment button, you can choose to display your merchant account ID instead of your primary email address. This way your email address won't be visible to spammers. You can find your merchant account ID under "Account options" in your Settings. 

 

Here are two ways to apply your merchant account ID in a payment button:


- Copy your ID and paste it in to your PayPal button code.
- Open your payment button in the saved button list, and select your merchant account ID in the editing page.

 

I hope this helps!
