Using Email Notices to Track Donate Transactions
PayPal sends you email notices when:
z Payments are made.
z Payments are pending.
z Payments are canceled.
Generally, PayPal sends email notices to the primary email address of your account.
PayPal can send email notices to an alternate email address, such as to someone in your
organization who handles accounting. Add the additional email address to your account
profile. Then, use that email address as the one to receive payments when you use the button
creation tool on the PayPal website. Specify the alternate email address as the value for the
business HTML variable when you write the HTML code yourself.
For more information, see Step 5 in the instructions for “Page 2 – Specifying Advanced
Features of Your Donate Button” on page 100, or Appendix A, “HTML Variables for Website
Payments Standard.”
Using Recent Activity to Track Donate Transactions
PayPal displays Donate transactions in your recent activity, soon after donors complete their
transactions by clicking Donate buttons on your website.
