Subscriptions Password Management and Auto Return
If you use or plan to use Subscriptions Password Management, you must make sure that Auto
Return is turned off in order to display the PayPal-generated username and password to the
subscriber.
NOTE: You can use Auto Return with Subscriptions, which is a separate feature from
Subscriptions Password Management. For more information, see “Recurring
Payments – Subscribe Buttons” on page 113.
Getting Contact Telephone Numbers
PayPal always collects contact telephone numbers from payers for each transaction that they
complete with PayPal. PayPal collects telephone numbers to help confirm the identity of the
payer and to contact the payer if necessary to complete the transaction.
Contact Telephone Number is a feature of PayPal Payments Standard that lets you obtain the
contact telephone numbers that PayPal collects from people who pay you. Contact Telephone
Number is off by default.
You can turn Contact Telephone Number on in one of two ways:
 On (Optional Field) – During checkout PayPal gives people the option of sharing their
contact telephones numbers with you.
Merchants Allow People to Share Their Telephone Numbers During Checkout
 On (Required Field) – During checkout PayPal informs people that their contact
telephone numbers will be shared with you because you require it.
