    Hi,

    I believe primary e-mail is the primary (default) e-mail in your PayPal account, as you can set-up several e-mail accounts in PayPal to receive money, so you need to specify your primary one.

    Also, in case you haven't seen it there is a very clear step-by-step approach how to set-up PayPal with aMember:

    Hope that helps!

    Thankyou david.
    I have read the step-by-step and I understood everything but:
    1.- At the end of the page When i click here ( Optionally enter IPN URL at step 6 of PayPal account configuration: http://www.mysite.com/members/plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipn.php ) I receive this notification (paypal_r ERROR: IPN validation error: The service Paypal indicates that this is not a valid transaction IPN: [INVALID] <br />
    I dont know what that means.....Must I care about that?

    2.- I assume, that the error must be related to the fact that my primary e-mail on paypal does not match the email in amember settings, which bytheway I can not change.
    Can you or anybody else tell me how to do it.???
    In Amember admin accounts there is an e-mail automatically created by amember. And I can not change it

    Please help.

    I seem to remember that I skipped this step. As it says in the documentation, see the note below regarding this URL. See point 3 under 'Important Notes'.
