Weekly Dynamic: PayPal Email

We’ve looked at some PayPal stuff before but I wanted to add something else. Typically when paying via PayPal there is one email for making the payment. The vendor may have multiple emails for various contacts. One way to ensure that the right email is being used for PayPal payments is to dedicate an Internet User Defined Field to PayPal. This avoids any confusion.

To set this up:

• Open the Company Setup Menu in the Administration Area Page | Company | Internet User Defined.
• Change the appropriate User Defined Field to Pay Pal and Click Ok

Now PayPal is available on the Internet Information window.

Fusing GP and PayPal with EFT for AP

Mariano Gomez has a great post on using EFT for Payables to push payment information to PayPal. I love creative ideas like this that demonstrate the flexibility of Dynamics GP. By using EFT, instead of a Smartlist or report, Mariano maintains the AP controls that help prevent duplicate payments and fraud. Very nice job Mariano!
