How can I change my PayPal email address?

Your PayPal email address is the email address associated with your PayPal account, which allows you to receive funds collected from purchases on your site. The PayPal address you enter when you activate PayPal will apply to every page of your site on which you activate PayPal.

To change your PayPal email address for any reason (for example, if you mistyped your address, or you'd like to receive funds in a different PayPal account):

  1. Click the "Site Settings" link in your Site Solution toolbar (in the upper-right corner of your screen).

  2. Click the "PayPal settings" link. (This link will appear only if your site currently includes at least one PayPal page.)
