What personal information is sent to businesses/people when you make a purchase?

I'd like to know what kind of information a business or individual sees when you send them money. I have gotten involved in 2 psychic readings so far and because of the virus, they don't have in-person payments but have PayPal accounts instead. My friend brought up a good point in that they might be looking up my personal information to gather data on me (I don't have any social media accounts and a google search for my name brings up too many people all over the country). So I'd like to know what they see (when I send them money) and is there a way I can make the information hidden to them? Can I give myself a nickname instead of my full name and hide my location to merchants?
