I have just setup a second site to hook into an existing paypal account being used by another site. It all works fine, however I have an issue which I can't seem to find an answer for.
When I do a paypal checkout it goes to the Login to paypal page and shows the 2nd sites style correctly. However, on this page there are references to the 1st site. Lets call them Site 1 and Site 2 for this example.
When I check out on site 2, the paypal page shows the site 2 style, says its a Site 2 Purchase, but then states:
PayPal securely processes payments for Site 1. You can finish paying in a few clicks.
and also:
Cancel and return to Site 1.
The return URL correctly goes back to Site 2 though.
Is this a limitation to Paypal or something that can be fixed in configuration of either Site 2 Zen cart site or the Paypal profile?
Any assistance is appreciated!

ZenCart handles the return so you do not need to set this

Re: Multiple Sites with One Paypal account
Yeah the return works fine, it's just the name of the return which is wrong.
So I should change the payment name in the Paypal profile? Is that what everyone else does in this situation?
Thanks for the speedy reply!

Re: Multiple Sites with One Paypal account
If you have a Business Account, you can try to ask PayPal to rename your Business.
If you have a Premier account, you can upgrade to a Business account and give it a more generic name.
Or you can start a new PayPal account for the second business.
