Multiple store & one Paypal account: IPN notification how to set?

Hi,

I have three stores in three different domains all with standalone zencart script.
I have one Paypal account.
Actually in my profile in Paypal I have set the IPN notification to website 1.
I'd like to activate paypal also for the other 2 stores, but how can i keep only one payal account? My doubt is that if the store2 sends a payment to paypal, then peaypal sends the ipn notificaiton to the store1... And that's not good.

Do you have any solution?
I'm using the Paypal IPN standard process module.

Thank you so much for your help.

Re: Multiple store & one Paypal account: IPN notification how to set?

I think your question should be directed to PayPal tech support.

I have multiple websites using the same PayPal account, the only thing you want to pay attention to is PayPal checkout page will display the business name on file and information so if you customized that page customers might think they are being scammed and exit there.

If you have different legal name than dba you can setup the account with the legal name and reference the legal name on your website so customer know to expect your legal name on PayPal or Merchant statement.

Zen Cart is more intelligent than you're giving it credit for.
It handles this situation fine.
There's an FAQ which answers your question: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=229
