I'm trying to put a donation link from my blog to PP. My blog is potentially controversial to the point of drawing threatening behavior from unbalance individuals. Using 'GSCroft' is fine, and while I was creating the link, that's all I saw. When I finalized the link and went to view it, there was my full name plastered right on it.
I did NOT want that.
How do I get a nice, simple "Donate" GUI button?

No, business accounts are free, no upfront costs. You pay extra if you are using advanced merchant checkout features like PayPal Payments Pro.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Are you using PayPal.me link? Or a donation PayPal button?
.me links shows your name unfortunately and on donor receipt.
PayPal donation button through the checkout shows your email address and it shows your name in the donor receipt. If you want to hide your name, you have to upgrade to business account so you can use a business name as a kind of alias shows on receipts, etc and still use your real name as account holder.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Thank you.
I've looked into it, and I'm not exactly certain how to go about it. It's merely a blog, but there is no category for it. Also, does it cost anything up front to have the business account?

Thank you very much.
I guess I'm just looking for the good old-fashioned 'Donate' button, but can't find it.
