Thanks. ~D")* Hi, That's not possible. The email address is in the user profile of Joomla. And Joomla doesn't allow users to change it. I searched a bit online but couldn't find any information about such ability in Joomla.

Thanks. ~D")* Thanks. Makes sense. But since I have no need and am not really creating any Joomla user, I'm only using that Registration form to gather, store in the hikashop orders, and pass the details to information PayPal, can I create a custom field for email, put that onto the registration form along with the name, address, city, state, phone number, etc. and use that email form field? And of course then remove the email which is linked to Joomla user in the existing form? Appreciate your support...

Thanks. ~D")* That won't work because there is no mechanism in HikaShop to use a custom address field as the email field of the user instead of the email field of the user. Sure, you could hack in HikaShop to do it, but that's quite complex as there are plenty of places where the email of the user is used, not only in the PayPal plugin. It's used for notification emails, for the display of the orders listing on the backend, the order edition page on the backend, the order page on the frontend. And normally, you don't allow users to change the email that they used to register on your website. Otherwise, they could have you send unsolicited emails to other email addresses and your server could then be flagged as a spammer by email servers, which is a big pain. Usually, they have to create a new account in that case.
