I need to create Paypal button for someone else's account. My client has given me their API username, password and signature. I need to create a button for them but I think in order to do that, I need access to their merchant account, based on the info they gave me.
Is it possible to create the button for them with the information they have provided or will they need to make the button in their merchant account and send me the code?
You may create a button for them by going to www.paypal.com/buttonfactory and all you will need is the email address they have associated with their PayPal account to link the button to their account.

How can I change the support email in my Firebase project under
Settings > Your project > Public settings > Support email?
That setting doesn't show for all project it seems. But when I found it, hovering over the ? says:
This will be the email address presented to users when they are authenticating with Google. It can be changed to your signed-in email or an email of a Google Group managed by you.
So it looks like you'll need to:
Create an email or google group (possibly on your own domain).
Add it as a collaborator.
Sign in as that collaborator.
Select that email address.
Step 3 might not be needed, since I can also see the email addresses of team mates in my test project.
To change the support email, the email you want to use needs to be a member of your Firebase project.
If you need to add a member, you can select the Add member option.
In case you want to use a custom domain, you might have to create a new Google account for that email upon accepting the invitation confirmation email.
This will automatically redirect you to the Firebase Console with the new member signed in, but you can also select the email from another member's account.
All steps in a row:
Add a member (with your desired email) to your Firebase project (if you already have that, skip to 4).
Accept the Firebase invitation (an email confirmation will be sent to the desired email address)
Create a Google account for that email (this is an automated process and if that has already been done, you will automatically be redirected to the Firebase Console)
Select the desired email as support email in the General settings tab in the Firebase Console using any member's account with sufficient permission.
If you're okay with a Google Groups email there, it's much easier to set up:
Go to Google Groups and create a new group there, with you as an owner.
Refresh that page and choose the group.
That's it, and there's no need to create or change your account.
I faced the same problem. I bought a domain name and I want to change the noreply#your-project.firebaseapp.com for noreply#my-domain.com. I followed the next intuitives steps:
Go to "Authentification" > "Models" > "Email validation" (sorry my firebase service is in french):
Click on the pencil
Click on "personnalize the domain"
And then I just followed steps indicated (enter your domain, add DNS entries in your domain service)
A message at the end will appears and say something like "48 hours may be required to validate your domain".
Ok, let's wait. After 48 hours of waiting, nothing has changed, I still can't custom the email address.
I finally found a solution. Go to "Connection mode":
At the bottom of the page, click on "Add a domain" and add your domain (this was the missing step).
Now you can go back to "Authentification" > "Models" > "Email validation" and change the initial firebaseapp email !
Hope that helps.
The only thing that worked for me:
Add collaborator as OWNER
From the new collaborator account go to project settings/general and change the support email
Go to the original account and change the collaborator account to Viewer or whatever (the support email will remain)
1- Create an email or google group (possibly on your own domain).
2- Add it as a owner to Firebase project.
3- Sign in as that owner.
4- Select that email address.

If you are trying to use group email from gsuite in Firebase support, you must be the group owner, and do not need that group email address on any IAM role.

UPDATE: it just randomly started working for me now...is there a period of time after updating an email that it is ineligible for new account creation?
I was able to use this API call provided by firebase to change emails for an account, but now I cannot use the other email to create a new count. I cannot reuse the other email at all. It seems like there is still a lock or hold on the old email.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.User#updateEmail
Steps to reproduce error
signup with original#email.com
update account email to new#email.com (and click verification link sent via email)
cannot create a new account (nor re-update existing account) with original#email.com
I am simply looking to free up the email that is no longer in use. (original#email.com)
Note in image below that 'original#email.com' does not show up
This is a security related behavior. The old email is reserved just in case the owner of the email decides to revert to the old account by clicking the email change revocation link which is sent to the old email. This gives the owner of the account the ability to recover their account in case it was hijacked and the attacker tried to change their email.
in the site in which I'm working the registration is mandatory to complete an order (is an ecommerce site). In the registration process, users have to fill in a registration form and then submit it. An email will be sent to users to confirm the account. After the confirmation (click on a link sent through email) the account is active.
I would to keep track of the user which complete the registration and then confirm his account clicking on the confirmation link in the email.
Basically, my questions are :Do users which submit the registration form, confirm their account? then, Do users which confirm their account make a purchase on the website?
I know how to track the submitting of the form (with event tracking or destination goal, it depends), but I don't know how to put a trackable link in the confirmation email. I can't use URL Builder, because the confirmation link is generated automatically and it depends on the account itself (each link is unique for the account). How can I keep track of it?
One solution for you is to include a Google Analytics _trackEvent call on the email activation page. Docs here:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide
This is the method we use to do something similar on our site.
After clicking paypal button it sends me to a page to login so I can pay the item. However, sandbox won't let me in. It says username or password is incorrect or something like that. But when I switch to a real paypal, I can get in. I don't know what I am missing here. Help pls...
You log in to PayPal sandbox using an email like john.smith#gmail.com. Then you create sellers and buyers, Paypal generates fake emails like john.sm343443.per#gmail.com with a password.
That's the one you have to use for checkout, not john.smith#gmail.com.
May sound dumb but do you have sandbox account?
