Can user email address be different to PayPal email address for repeat subscription payments? How does the system link the two?
Can user email address be different to PayPal email address for repeat subscription payments?
Yes, they can be different.
How does the system link the two?
Via an IPN that contains a transaction key; established when the subscription is first started.
I tried this, I click on the activation link, but it won’t let me change the email address to something else, it forces me to use the paypal address. Otherwise it gives an error that either the username or email doesn’t exist.
So what is required to allow user to choose a different email if they do not want to use their paypal address?
The “normal” registration flow for SWPM is for the user to pay for their membership first, then the registration link is sent to whatever email address is given to PayPal:
