Set up multiple Return URLs and Payment Data Transfers (PDTs)

[danaswart]

I work for an Educational Organization and we've recently set up a shopping cart with a return URL and PDT that is working great. We would like to set up other/separate shopping carts for different divisions each with a separate return URL and PDT. I think we would end up with 6-10 separate, individual shopping carts each needing a return URL and PDT.  Is this possible?

Hi danaswart,

Welcome! 🙂

This is definitely possible.  The return url would need to be set for each shopping cart separately.  This means that the shopping cart you're using will need to have the setting for you to set the return url.  If it does not, that would need to be set for each PayPal button or checkout in the HTML for that site (division).

The return url set in your PayPal profile settings is normally the default but it can be overridden on a per button basis.  You may also be interested in customizing the PayPal checkout pages to look different for each division in your organization.  You can find a list of variables for setting the return URL and customizing the PayPal check out pages here:

Hopefully your shopping cart solution will allow you to easily set these values for each division.

I hope this helps! 😄
