How to Link MailChimp to PayPal
1. Log in to your MailChimp account with your username and password.
2. Click 'Account' from the top menu, then select 'Integrations' under 'Extras.' Scroll down to the PayPal heading and click on the PayPal icon.
3. Select the list that you'd like to direct the new emails to from the 'select a list' drop-down menu. Copy the URL from the box that appears on the screen.
4. Log in to your PayPal account by clicking 'PayPal account' from the window that appears following your list selection.
5. Click 'Profile' under the 'My Account' tab within the PayPal platform, then select 'My Selling Tools.' Select 'Update' next to 'Instant Payment Notifications.'
6. Select 'Choose IPN Settings,' then paste the URL you copied in Step 3 into the box under 'Notification URL.' Click 'Receive Notification Messages,' then click 'Save.'
7. Navigate back to the MailChimp platform that should still be open in another tab. If the integration worked correctly, you should see a green dot next to the PayPal connection status. If the connection status is still listed in the red, log out of MailChimp and log back in, then navigate to 'Accounts' and 'Integrations' to check the connection status.
How to Confirm a Shipping Address at PayPal
1. Log into your PayPal account and click on the 'Confirm Address' link. This link should be visible on the left side of the page under the 'Enhance Your Account' category if your address has not yet been confirmed.
2. Link a credit card to your PayPal account. This is one of the quickest and easiest ways to confirm your shipping address at PayPal. Be sure that the credit card company has the same address as the one on the PayPal account.
3. Choose 'Apply for PayPal Buyer Credit' as an alternate means of confirming your shipping address. If you are approved for a line of credit through PayPal the address on your application form will automatically become your PayPal confirmed shipping address.
4. Complete 'Alternate Address Confirmation' if you live in the United States. This option is not available for residents of other countries. When you click on the link for 'Alternate Address Confirmation' details will be provided. This process is slower than the first two methods.
5. Wait for address confirmation to occur. If you are linking a credit card or applying for a line of credit your address will be confirmed within a couple of days. If you chose alternate address confirmation the process may take a week or more.

Making a Payment via a PayPal Website Button

How to Send an Inmate Money Online
1. Read the correctional facility's website to determine if you're able to send money to an inmate online. Some prisons do not permit it.
2. Choose a money transfer agent that works with the prison that houses the inmate you wish to send money to. Examples of money transfer agents are JPay, Western Union and ICSolutions (see Resources).
3. Create an account with your selected money transfer agent. If you are using JPay, you will need the inmate's ID number to begin. If you work with Western Union, you will have to select the state you are sending money from and find the prison to get started. Should you be using the services of ICSolutions, you will need the name and location of the prison, the inmate's name and his ID number to get started. Follow the directions of your selected money transfer agent to get an inmate money online.
4. Choose a credit card or debit card to send an inmate money online. You will be charged a fee for the service and that is presented to you before you complete the transaction. The money transfer agent will process your amount and transfer the amount to the inmate's commissary or trust account. You will receive a notice soon after you have completed the transaction that the transfer is complete.

3. Check the box next to all of the listings that you want to clear from your activity log. If you have a lot of transactions, check the box next to the 'Date' column to select them all at the same time.
4. Click on the 'Archive' button. This will clear all of the checked entries from your activity log, effectively resetting it. Your activity log will now be completely clear of data.
