In your PayPal Here application, you provided basic information about your business. This information will be displayed in the PayPal Local tab, which is part of PayPal's consumer app, and will also appear on your receipts.

By default, your PayPal Here profile page will show your business as open. This means that PayPal users can use their mobile phones to find and pay for your products and services. If you do not want your store to be visible to PayPal users, simply swipe your finger across the Open sign. The sign will change to Closed, and your business will no longer be listed on PayPal Local.

To review or change your business information:

1. On the home page, tap Profile, then tap Business Information.
2. Your profile displays your current business location as a blue dot on the map. To update your business information, use the fields below the map. In addition to your address, you may add or update your website, email, and Facebook information so that it will appear on the receipts you provide to customers.

With PayPal Here, you can see your sales figures broken out either with prices for individual items sold or as a total for each transaction.
