Two Stores - One Paypal Express Setup?

[ksoup]

Will this work? Can two different zen cart stores use the same paypal express setup? Or will we need to open another paypal account?

The reason I ask is... as soon as the second store was set up and running the paypal express payment mod, we had 2 errors come through on the first store on orders using paypal express

ALERT: PayPal Express Checkout Error (81117)
81117 Missing Parameter - Token : Required parameter missing


ALERT: PayPal Express Checkout Error (10736)
10736 Shipping Address Invalid City State Postal Code - A match of the Shipping Address City, State, and Postal Code failed.

You can use the same PayPal account on multiple stores. There are no limitations to it. Express Checkout and IPN both can be used on multiple stores if the security identifiers are identical on all of them.

Dr. Byte -

Are you saying that once I have my PayPal API Security settings -

Specifically: API Signature -- Username
API Signature -- Password
API Signature -- Signature Code

- that these can be used for multiple Zen Cart stores/shopping carts, and I can still personalize the carts for the different stores they represent?

BUT - We have to specify a URL at PayPal in the IPN Preferences - and we can only specify one URL. That's one store. What happens when payments come from other URLs - from the other stores? Not sure how that works but you are usually good at making these things sensible.

Thanks again, in advance!

As long as you have 'something valid' in there, PayPal will have the feature enabled. Zen Cart sends an override for the "real" URL for each transaction, which PayPal honors when processing the details.

Looks like I'll be buying coffee and donuts for the support crew soon - Thanks again for making things clearer.
