paypal buttons code and rm email

[bobmane]

I am trying to depreciate an older email and use only a newer one. in my paypal buttons...still has the older email in Advanced variables: Add advanced variables: rm=1 business=myoldemail@. I dont really know what rm or in this case rm1 does.

I already have a return url set...do i need rm?

I just want to make sure all sales notifications via all buttons go to new email new@ and not old email. Once I know that I will delete old email from paypal account

Good day @bobmane,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

Important : PayPal Website Payments Standard (WPS) is a legacy integration. 

We recommend merchants to integrate our latest PayPal Checkout (Smart button) product.

Please follow the steps provided in the below detailed guide links : 

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/

https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/server 

https://developer.paypal.com/integration-builder/ 

Please add the new email address in your PayPal account and confirm the email.

Later, mark the new email address as "Primary".

Once, the above settings is done, please process a test payment to check whether the payment notifications sent to the new email address marked as "Primary". 

Note : Please refer the below guide link regarding "HTML Variables for PayPal Payments Standard".

rm Optional

Return method. The FORM METHOD used to send data to the URL specified by the return variable. Valid value is: 0. All shopping cart payments use the GET method. 1. The buyer's browser is redirected to the return URL by using the GET method, but no payment variables are included. 2. The buyer's browser is redirected to the return URL by using the POST method, and all payment variables are included.

Sincerely,

Here it is, Oct 2024; I had the same question and ran into your post. I have phone and email support, and the same thing; PayPal is replacing support for simple cut-n-past button code with that generic reply above, sending you to an advanced developer area for system migration with all kinds of 3rd parties. 

So I am just using their tool, still available today, copying and pasting button code generated as I always have. Since they have yet to reply to your reply or my email support (the guy on the phone said he would get more advanced support to contact me, but it never happened.) So, like you, I will just have to wait and hope the buttons PayPal generated today do not stop working someday.
