Note: We use "Program" and "Member" as label-agnostic terms to refer to any marketing you are using Buzzbassador to facilitate, whether you refer to it as an affiliate program, influencer marketing, ambassador program, referral program, creator partnerships, brand reps, partner program, etc.

In the Account Section of your Application Form Editor, you will find the required fields that will be included in your live Application Form automatically. These fields cannot be edited or removed from your Application Form.

The PayPal Email field will only be required if your PayPal integration is connected. This means that if your PayPal integration is not yet set up, then the PayPal Email field will not be included in your live Application Form.

When a merchant's PayPal integration is connected, the PayPal Email field on the application form is required for all members. This is intended to help merchants ensure that they have collected a PayPal email address for every member. This will help avoid running into issues when processing PayPal payouts for members (members with no PayPal email connected to their account will not be able to receive PayPal payouts).

If your PayPal integration is connected, the PayPal Email field will show up on your live Application Form under the Account section, as shown in the screenshot below.

If any of your members do not have PayPal, they can use the blue "create one for free" link to quickly create one. They only need a regular consumer PayPal account. Or, they can enter "N/A" to skip the question, and add PayPal later (after they are approved) from within their Buzzbassador account.
