API credentials for our second shop site

[IzumiYoko]

Hello. My name is Koichi.

We would like to know whether we could use the same API credentials for our second shop site.

We have been using a shop site for domestic shoppers for a while. Now we have developed another site for international shoppers. Both of sites use woocommerce. Could we use the same API credentials for our second shop site? Or we should create another Account for the international site?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, you can use the same credentials for both.  However, you'll want to make sure you don't end up sending the same invoice IDs from each site to the same PayPal account.  This could result in "duplicate invoice ID" errors, and PayPal rejects those payments.

If you use our PayPal for WooCommerce plugin there is an option to set an invoice ID prefix, which allows you to set a unique value for each site and avoid this problem.  It also has lots of other nice features and functionality that I think you'll like.
