Different Site Sharing Paypal Account

    I accept Paypal on my online shop, the payment shows up on their invoices/account as 'Wizmo'

    What if I want another online shop with a different name to accept Paypal?
    Is there a way for it to show up with a different name on the invoices, or do I need to open another Paypal account?

    Thanks

    Well, you can have only 1 personal and 1 business/premier paypal account so opening another paypal account is a no go.

    The only thing you can do is associate each site with a different email address and nothing more.

    I was afraid that would be the answer.
    I'm going to have to change the name in Paypal to something generic, so it doesn't confise people buying from the second site. grrrr.

    Make sure that your customer knows how the paypal charge will read. It's pretty common to get disputes in this exact situation a few weeks after a transaction, when someone forgets the name of the company they bought something from, and doesn't recognize the name that they do see in paypal.
