How to create PayPal button with dynamic receiver?

I am developing a web application where users should be able to send other users money via PayPal.

For that reason, I would like to integrate a PayPal button on each user's profile page.

I have already done some research. I have found out that there is a Button Manager which can be used to create buttons.

However, it seems to me that buttons created by the Button Manager are then linked to my PayPal account.

I would like to give the users of my web application the possibility to add their PayPal Account ID which would than be used to create a dynamic button with that user as money receiver.

Is this possible? How would that work?

Note: I know there are Stackoverflow posts which deal with that question however most of them are some years old and seem outdated to me.

You can change the business value, the money receiver, for a PayPal button not hosted at PayPal:

<input type="hidden" name="business" value="__________">

But you need to generate this code in a secure way. Check out info about non-hosted buttons.
