Multiple Stores/URLS and one PayPal Account?

I have several different stores on different servers with different URLS and eCommerce technologies (Zen-Cart, Joomla/Virtuemart)

I want to use PayPal Express & IPN

Is there a way to have several different stores all pay the same PayPal account? Can I setup several eMail address' on PayPal and have each store pay a different eMail address, and have the confirmation page go to the correct store?

Rambling, but I hope someone here understands tha concept.

Re: Multiple Stores/URLS and one PayPal Account?

The "Similar Threads" section of this page shows several related discussions.

And there's an FAQ article: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=229

In short, the answer is yes. Use the same credentials on each store. Zen Cart will automatically tell PayPal which store to send the transaction details back to.
As long as you have it working on one store, adding it to multiple stores is easy ... just set them all up the same as the one that's working.

And, lest you ask what to do with the IPN URL ... leave it set to whatever it's using today for a working store. Again, Zen Cart only needs it ON and VALID. It'll give the right details when it needs it.

Remember however, that your customers will see whatever name is on your PayPal account, even if it's not the same as your store name.
