Paypal With 2 websites?

Hi all.

I have a paypal account that I use for processing all payments on my primary site.
I would like to set up a second site and use the same PP account.

I am told that all I need to do is add the email address of that site to PP and we're done. I've done this.

Now, When I make a test purchase from my new site, I have the link saying "return to *my primary site*" on that PP page.
And, after this payment is completed, would it direct buyers back to the page on my first (primary) site and not the new site they purchased from?

I really need some help here guys, PP is completely useless at providing the information. Their site is a complete mess of misinformation and confusion. Trying to get a simple answer from paypal for a simple question is impossible.

I have been searching for info on this for weeks and still can't find out how to set this up!

All I need is a tutorial or article on setting up paypal to accept payments from more than one shopping cart.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

I don't see any problem if you want to use the same paypal account as the payment processor for two different website....you can do it....even you can use the same e-mail.

you can't make test purchase by using the same paypal account......

 

People keep telling me that I can do it, but no one can tell me HOW to do it!

Right, I'll go through this again, because it seem people just don't understand what I mean.

I have PP set up on my primary site (www.bloketoys.co.uk)
A customer buys from that site, goes through the PP system and is then redirected back to my sites "Thank You" page.
Right? We're all on the same page here?

Now, I want to set up www.mens-sextoys.co.uk using OpenCart. And I obviously can't set up two PP accounts.

So, I change my PP landing page (including banner) to show BlokeRetail (the umbrella brand for all my sites and online sales).
I'm told that I just need to add an email address to my PP account to accept payments fro www.mens-sextoys.co.uk, and to ensure the email address in the PP section of my OpenCart is the same.
Right, I've done that.

Now, when I make a test purchase (going up to the point of the PP checkout screen) that screen has "Cancel and return to Bloketoys" at the bottom, not "cancel and return to mens-sextoys". Clicking it does take me back to www.mens-sextoys.co.uk though.

Also, if a person orders from www.mens-sextoys.co.uk and not www.bloketoys.co.uk using my PP account, they'll be returned to the Thank You page of Bloketoys.co.uk and not mens-sextoys.co.uk, wont they?

How do I have the auto return go back to the site the customer actually purchased from? Going into account settings in PP only has the primary site listed for redirection after completion. I don't want customers who have purchased fro site B being redirected to a messed up page on site A (it'll be messed up because they didn't buy from that site!)
How do I get rid of the "return to *primary site*" on the order payment page on PP? I want my customers to see links to the site they actually bought from, not the primary site linked to my account.

I appreciate your reply, but I already know I supposedly can do it, I need to know how to do it.

 

You can use paypal on as many website as you want. You mus be doing some thing wrong in your scripts payment setting page.

 

Update:
Even PayPal themselves don't understand their own system.
I had an email from them telling me that it wasn't possible, and yet I have set up two sites to use my one PP account.
