The Merchant ID can only be used as the "business" variable value in your item button code or text (hyperlinks). 

 

The intent of Merchant ID is a substitute for your PayPal email address in the item button code.  In the early PayPal years, people were concerned about having their email address harvested from their web pages. As a result, PayPal came up with the Merchant ID.
