Hi everyone. Hope you are all doing well!

I've opened a new website and am currently only accept paypal as a payment option. Problem is that i don't know where to add my new website address in paypal, as the the url to my 1st website is there.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add 2 websites to 1 paypal account and if so where?

Please help!

Thanking you in advance :-)

Janet,

You can use the same email address for paypal on countless OSC sites. However, if you have your paypal account set to auto-return the customer back to your checkout success page, then that is a problem.

Hi Chris.

Yes i have set my paypal account to auto return the customers back to the success page. However, is there anyway i can still add another website without having to change the settings (i don't want to open a new paypal account, as i know paypal have an issue with that)

many thanks.

Hi Janet,

Unfortunately, the customers from the second store would be sent back to the first store's success page. So, either create a second PayPal account, or turn off the auto-return function in PayPal.
