Re: Two Site with One Paypal account...is this possible?

Now I am somewhat confused after reading the tutorial and searching the forum. Are these procedures correct?

1 My first site I installed Paypal Express on my Zen Cart.

On my Paypal account I use my primary email and enabled Website Payment Preferences on Paypal.
My second site how do I set up Paypal??

Do I install Paypal express?

I am really lost on what to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, if you're using Express you simply set up both stores using the same PayPal credentials.

Ah DrByte......I did something else...I think...sorry but I was trying to figure it on my own...here is what I did and it seems to work...just need your OK if I did it right.

Site 1:::Express...Primary Email....API installed. Works!

Site 2:::Express...Primary Email (copied the API from my Paypal account. Profile/Custom Payment Pages (named it Flowers) {example}.

Site 2::Admin/Payment Module Site 2 PayPal Page Style named it Flowers.

Is that correct?

Is that correct?I'm not sure what you mean by "Is that correct?".

Is that correct?Again, I'm not sure what you mean by "Is that correct?". I guess it depends what you were trying to do. I'm guessing you're trying to change the appearance of the PayPal page. If that's the case, then setting the Page Style is the correct approach.

PinkLeopard:

Is this correct??
I'm not sure why you're enabling PDT if you're using Express Checkout.
Express Checkout isn't going to use PDT. So, it doesn't matter whether you have PDT enabled or not.
