Connecting two businesses to one account, is it possible?

Hello!
I'm running two online stores and I was wondering if it's possible to connect them both to the same PayPal account, or at least to the same bank account. Since I own both businesses, it would make things a lot simpler.

I've heard that each PayPal account should be linked to a different bank account, but I'm hoping there might be a way to manage both my sites with just one account. Do you have any advice or solutions for this?

Thanks a lot for your help.

You are only allowed x2 paypal accounts if x1 is personal and the other x1 is business, if you have 2 of the same type you risk them both being limited. However Paypal sometimes allow a 2nd business account but you have to get approval from customer services first.

However you can have up to 8 email addresses on the x1 paypal account so if you have 2 businesses with 2 different email addresses you could link them both to one account but everything would be merged on arrival into that account.

 

Lastly you can also have 8 bank accounts on the x1 paypal account.
