When going through the cause registration flow, if you enter an email on the Paypal page, it will preserve the email but not connect to Paypal. Or at least it doesn't appear to be connected because you need to verify the account before you're able to enable donations. You can see this when you go to the Edit Paypal section under the dashboard "Connect your accounts" and click save, it then directs you to Verify Your Cause. This seem to be a broken user experience by connecting Paypal on cause registration, but not actually enabling it for donations.

Let me know if this is unclear. Stan and I were talking about this topic for a while.

Stan: this is a broken experience IF you go through the registration experience, its not clear how to progress to a functional paypal integration based on the way things are presented. you enter an email address, and thats it -- it skips the step where it says something like "please verify your email address so paypal will work"
