Using one PayPal account on two websites

Post by 14Steve14 »

Hopefully someone else will know the answer to this. I cannot be the first person to want to try this.

Is it possible to use one PayPal account on two phoenix websites on two different domains?

PayPal say an account is issued to a person or business so have no problem with this, but can two Phoenix sites be set up so customers who pay using PayPal on either site can return to the correct website after making a payment?

Yes, I'm doing this.
The return URL is set in the PayPal module of each store and overrides the default return URL set in the PayPal account.

@raiwa
Thanks for that. I am planning another site selling another range of specialist products and will now be able to give it ago. Its a shame that Stripe do not allow the same sort of thing without creating another account with them.

Hi Steve...as Rainer says...it's not a problem....I've linked 3 or 4 sites together like that in the past without issue.

I’m doing the same with stripe. You just need to create two web hooks.

So you just create another webhook for the new website and it then redirects back to the correct websites order confirmation page. That is well worth knowing.
