    Default Two site, One Paypal account??

    I have two websites and one paypal account. How do I setup my two sites with one paypal account??

    I called paypal and they said to modify my notify_url on the the second site to return back to my second site.

    The current code for this is:
    'notify_url' => zen_href_link('ipn_main_handler.php', '', 'SSL',false,false,true),
    Which is line #211 in file /includes/modules/payment/paypal.php

    What I want to know is if I modify this line will it mess up Paypal module. How do I modify it so that it correctly comes back to:

    I understand that even though I will be using a modified notiy_url command to come back to my site 2 I will still be collecting fund under site 1's paypal account.

    Hi,
    You do not need to adjust any files.
    Zen cart gives the correct return URL to PayPal, everything automagickly.
    The only configuring to be done is in the Zen Cart admin panel.
    You can create, in the PayPal website, different templates for your payment pages.
    I have 6 sites working with PayPal and i am using only one account.

    Ronald.

    ps You can try thing out on the paypal sandbox site

    It's simple:

    1. create a ZC site, and set up PayPal.
    2. create another ZC site, and set up PayPal, using same account.
    3. create another ZC site. and setup Paypal, using same account.
    4. etc

    They all work independently, but share the same account.

    If you're confused about PayPal offering only one IPN-return-address in your profile, don't be. They only need the feature "activated". Zen Cart overrides whatever you enter there anyway.

    Hi,

    I created new business id in PayPal website (create just new email addresses) for each website like [email protected] and so on and use these in zen admin panel in the paypal setup as Business ID.
    I select the page style that i wish to use and have created at the paypal website and thats about it.
    When Zencart connects with paypal it gives the correct return url so PayPal knows to which website it needs to return to.
    I hope this makes a little sense. My english is not as good as i would like.
    Ronald.
