2 stores on the same site using the same paypal account, potential problems?

Hi all

I am just setting up a second site (for wholesalers) on my site, it will use the same paypal account, in fact i have basically just cloned the retail database and overwritten the blank wholesale database

are there going to be conflicts
with the return url, and the pdt? url

or will they know where they should be going and returning to

They will function fine as long as you set them up to use the same email address and same PDT token and any other security settings, etc.

You can use different "Page Style" settings if you want the branding of your PayPal page to appear differently on one store vs the other. You'll have to set up your page styles in your PayPal account profile first. Then specify the page style name in your Zen Cart paypal module.
