I'm an Administrator user on my employer's PayPal account. I have Send Money permissions enabled and Approvals is turned off. I'm trying to make a purchase from an online store. I can't log in because it requires an email address, but I can only log in with a username.
How do I fix this? Goal is for each employee to be able to log in with their own password.

Hello @Mango123456,
Welcome back! Sorry for the confusion. Unfortunately, it is not possible for an aliases or secondary user to checkout on a website, the Send Money function is specific to sending from the account directly.
My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause,
- Jon K
