1 site - 2 paypal accounts possible?

Is it possible to have 1 site and two accounts? Depending on which item sells i would have the money go to different accounts...

Is it possible? Of course i'll modify my product fields and each product will have STORE ID 1 or STORE ID 2. and then i plan to have a different paypal address associated with a different store id.

Is it possible in theory?

This is not possible. Set up 2 different shops for the different products and related paypal accounts.

Why is it not possible? It might not be possible right out of the box, what what if i modify the code and change the paypal paypal email address depending on the special product field...

...and what do you do if I buy one item that is flagged for one account and another item that is flagged for the other?

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Because i don't offer combined shipping and everything is prepacked i'm going to actually limit one order per person. So as soon as someone adds an item to a shopping cart thy have to check it out.

99% of my customers buy one item only and the value is pretty high - from 500-2000$ so i don't think it would be a problem.

Re: 1 site - 2 paypal accounts possible?

Configuring zencart to do what you want is a debatable issue. I don't think it is easily possible, nor do I think it is advisable. The payment system integrates with a large number of other aspects of ZC, including sessions, cookies, customer data, SSL, the whole IPN system, and a lot more.

But, ZC is free opensource code, so if you wish to modify it, then there is nothing stopping you. I envisage a big project ahead of you, and I doubt whether the forum will devote the time or the technical skills to assist you free of charge.

Naturally, you are welcome to ask any questions on the forum and if anyone feels inclined to reply, they will do so.
