# Adding an alias to your PayPal

If you've received a payment sent to an email that doesn't match your PayPal email address, no problem! All you’ll need to do is add your Dscout email address as an alias in your PayPal account. To do that, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your **PayPal** account.
2. Click the **Gear** **icon** next to the logout button on the top-right corner of your screen.
3. Locate the **Email section** on your **Account** page.
4. The **Plus (+) icon** on the top-right corner of the box will allow you to add the email address you use for Dscout as an alias.
5. Check your alias email inbox for a confirmation email from **PayPal** titled **Confirm your email address**.
6. Open the email and click on the **Confirm my Email Address button**.
7. Enter your password for your primary account to confirm your alias email address.

Any payments sent to your additional email addresses will appear in your primary PayPal account. Hooray!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://participanthelp.dscout.com/getting-paid/getting-paid-via-paypal/adding-an-alias-to-your-paypal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
