Activating PayPal Payment Processor: Use Merchant ID #1839

Open CanIGetaPR opened 4 years ago

There is the option of using the merchant ID instead of email when accepting donations. Would be great if this was supported as an alternative to using email, since email is used as a login method to PayPal and it is best to keep that private / secured.

Using IDs was the original plan, but it requires API permissions that I wasn't able to obtain, so I switched to email addresses.
