So, in other words, it's perfectly okay to send this form data in clear text? There's no security risk at all in doing that? Is that mostly because what I'm trying to do is so simple, and involves an amount that the user is entering anyway, or is this more of a general thing? @snowshoe wrote: For the customer to enter the amount on the PayPal screen for a Buy Now Button, just enter a "0" in the "Amount" Field when you are creating the button.

My product name shows up in a teeny tiny font, the price says "0.00", then somewhere underneath there's a field for entering an amount.
