What is a PayPal Merchant Identification Number?
A PayPal merchant ID, or “MID,” is a 13-character string of random numbers and letters. This ID is assigned to you automatically, once you open a PayPal account. The important thing to remember is that you cannot change nor edit this number. As mentioned, this ID is used to identify the merchant without exposing their email to web crawlers. By using this ID number, you’re not sharing any of your data (including emails) if someone looks at your source code.
It’s a good solution for keeping a relatively high level of privacy while also being able to accept card payments.
