Removing "Note To Seller" from PayPal checkout

[TipPro]

I am currently working on adding a PayPal payment option to my site using the PayPal Website Payments Pro module provided by Miva Merchant.

I would like to remove the add "Note To Seller" option customers would see on the PayPal check out. I have contacted PayPal integration support and they provided me with the following instructions...

In the SetExpressCheckout call you would set the variable ALLOWNOTE as follows:

'ALLOWNOTE=0' – The buyer is unable to enter a note to the merchant.
'ALLOWNOTE=1' – The buyer is able to enter a note to the merchant.

Is this something I can add or does it need to be written into the PayPal module?

Here is a screenshot of the "Note To Seller" option I would like to remove.

This is the only thing that is holding me back from going live with PayPal.

Does everyone who offers PayPal on their Miva Merchant store accept PayPal notes?

This will have to be something I have to live with for now.

I wrote program that emails any PayPal notes to our customer service after the order is placed (it will simply look like a customer decided to email us after they placed the order). This way our customer service will not have to log into PayPal to see if a customer left a PayPal note on the order they placed.

I know this thread is old but I needed to do this today and came across the way. Posting here for posterity :)

1. Log into your paypal account
2. In the menu go to Profile > My Selling Tools
3. Under the "Getting paid and managing my risk" section, click the "Update" link next to "Block payments"
4. Change the value for "Display "Add Instructions to Seller" text input field:" to "No"
5. Click the Save button

Then make sure you test :)

Hope this helps someone!
