email payment link as clear text.
PayPal highly recommends that you use button encryption to protect the HTML code of
your payment button. Encryption protects payment details from fraudulent alteration by
third parties, thus increasing the security of the payments you accept. However, consider
the limitations that encryption imposes:
– Encrypted HTML code does not support option fields, which you can specify on the Buy
Now buttons – Page 2 page.
Select the No radio button if you want to add option fields to your Buy Now button.
– Encrypted HTML code cannot be edited.
Select the No radio button if you want to edit the HTML code for your button after the
code is generated.
