Multiple sites, one paypal address. Can you redirect to different sites after paymen?

Hi,

I have quite a few Zen Carts across different URL's and have a single Paypal address.

With that single address is there a way to redirect back to different sites or what can i do?

Thanks.

Re: Multiple sites, one paypal address. Can you redirect to different sites after paymen?

So, just to be clear, in the directions for setting up PayPal, this step:

  1. Make sure Auto Return is turned On. The URL should point to your site's checkout_process page: https://my_store/index.php?main_page=checkout_process

is really not important because it's going to be overridden??

I'm having trouble with one of my carts not recording some paypal orders and wonder id it's not because the return url doesn't point to that site.

TIA!

Good morning, Kokonutmama ... all our shops use the same PayPal account, so use the same email address in the PayPal setup in Zen Cart. On the PayPal site, our IPN switch is turned on, and the checkout_process URL for one of the shops is entered, because PayPal requires an URL to be entered. But we have not found any problem with the transactions being returned to the correct shop.

I believe that PayPal had some problems with delayed IPN yesterday, maybe that's what caused your problem?

also make sure that your .com/ipn_main_handler.php is available
