PayPal account setup

Post by alex4orly »

Is it possible to :

1) Setup a merchant logo by adding a hidden variable inside WWB, if so, what is the argument name?
2) Direct money paid notifications from PayPal to the company Accountant email - NOT to the main email address, how?

Thanks

Hello dear helper,

Well, the logo insertion is done. The better link to show how to do it is here:
https://silkstartsupport.zendesk.com/hc ... ckout-page
The other URL is outdated and doen't represent the PayPal pages as they are now.

On the payment notification issue I didn't explain myself. I know that PayPal will not direct payment directly into a bank account, for obvious reasons. What I am asking is the following:
When somebody makes a payment to the company:
1) AN acknowledgment email is sent to the person who made the payment, AND
2) Another email goes to the company.
BUT - that 2nd email goes to the main email address - this is used as accessing the account, instead of this email being sent to that email - I am asking if there is a way to "Tell" PayPal somehow to email it to the company's Treasurer email address, through this :
input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="alex4orly@gmail.com"

I tried to add this hidden elemnt in the form, but it doubles up on what is already created by WWB - and looks like this:

<input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="webmaster@communitylifestyleaccommodation.org.au">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="alex4orly@gmail.com">

I tried even changing it manually after publishing the page, but PayPal seems to ignore my directive

Any idea?

Any Ideas?
Theres no need to add a extra field, you can set another email address in the settings of the PayPal account.

When you say set - do you mean replace the current Primary email with another one?
Or do you mean - ADD another email address and tell PayPal to send messages to it?
How can I do that, I mean Add a 2nd address - in which part, I can't find it

Thanks again

Thannks again

This worked OK, I just didn't realize that all new additional email addresses have to login with the same password I am using for the main email address....

Cheers
