I've created a smart button for a single payment for a digital product (no shipping). The buyer has the option to click to use a credit card - at which point a form appears. The form asks for the usual information for credit card info, address, etc.
However, it also requires a phone number. I would like to eliminate the phone number required field. In my account, under Website Preferences, I've indicated, as Paypal recommends, NOT to require a phone number. Despite this, the form for my payment still requires it. HOW do we remove this from the payment form?

I have this exact problem right now and would love to see an answer from an expert. I tinkered with the coding to remove the shipping address checkbox, but I have yet to find anything regarding a mobile number. It is possible that you must keep the number for banking reasons, but I'd like an official ruling on that first.
