More than one website / PayPal account

Hello,

 

I have a set of various websites selling different products and I would like to link them ALL to the same Business PayPal account.

 

Is this possible?

 

If so do I simply use the exact same shopping cart configuration settings accross all websites?

 

Every website is based on the same Zen Cart platform.

Hi TruePheromones and cormiadesign, and welcome to the forums!

 

I don't have particulars on how your cart handles things, so you might want to check with the support for Zen Cart for settings specific to their product.

 

But in a more general sense, like if you were using the PayPal buttons for instance, you could use the same button information because all of the payments are going to the same place. Or, you could make slightly different buttons, but all pointing to the same account.

 

A tip for keeping track of things: If you differentiate between items using item numbers, you could create an item naming scheme that indicates which website the order came from. For example, ABC1001 and  XYC1001 could each be the same item, but sold from the two different sites.

 

I hope this helps!

Hello,

 

I'll actually change and clear up my initial question.

 

I would like to have MULTIPLE PayPal Business accounts under the same incorporation depositing into the same corporate bank account.

 

Is it possible to have multiple PayPal accounts depositing to one main bank account?

I understand now.  No, a bank account may only be on one PayPal account at a time.

OK

 

But is it possible for each of the websites that will be essentially depositing into the accont to have their own respective login email addresses?

 

That way all payment confirmations etc etc come to the respective email inbox associated with the website domain?

You can have up to 8 email addresses on your PayPal account. You can certainly divide it up that way. Good idea. 🙂

Hello all,

yes, I too have the same request. I have a working web site that is functional and is connected to a PayPal account and to a single bank account. I now want to add 2 more sites with separate e-mail address (already added to the PayPal account) that would process the purchases from these other two web-sites.

I already tested money requests (via outlook plug-in) and was able to pay and collect money with the new e-mail. However, the invoice that is sent to the buyer/customer contains the original e-mail and company name. That is not good, how do I manage that so that the invoice contains the name of the new website and the new e-mail address and not the original one?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to do exactly the same thing as MyDesignTutor so I would be very interested in the answer to this as well. I've emailed Paypal about it so hopefully I'll get the solution I'm looking for!
