How do I find my Secure Merchant ID in my PayPal account?

Each PayPal account has a unique merchant account ID. When you create a payment button, you can choose to display your merchant account ID instead of your primary email address. This way your email address won't be visible to spammers.


Here are 2 ways to apply your merchant ID in a payment button:

  • Copy your ID and paste it into your PayPal button code.
  • Open your payment button in the saved button list and choose your merchant account ID in the editing page.
