more than one shop on the same paypal account?

Just checking something, it used to be possible to run more than one shop on the same paypal account by adding a letter to the invoice number passed to paypal to differentiate between the shops, but it seems this doesn't work any more. Is this true or do I have a different problem?

Tracy,

 

I have not tried it on 2.3.1 but I know it works on RC2a, RC2 and RC1. I am sure will also work on 2.3.1 with a little code tweaking.

Hi,

 

I have been asking similar questions today (public / private) and am still researching the issue. Information I have received, which may be of use can be forwarded to you / or shared here? As I allude to in another post, I have received information about possible coding changes, which would differentiate between online shops using Paypal, but after looking in the PP Standard Module, I cannot locate the file that was brought to my attention (includes/modules/payment/paypal_ipn.php). I may have misconstrued the information and it may be that the file is not a part of the PP Standard version at all, but another - Paypal IPN???

 

I also understand that simpler solutions (rather than coding) may also be used, but am still thinking those through, for example; for one shop using invoice numbers beginning with - 1; and for the second shop using invoice numbers beginning with - 10,000. As I said, still pondering about all of this.

Kind regards,

 

Peter...

Hi Chris

 

I suspect the problem isn't something in the code tweaking but in my PayPal set-up then, unless the method of adding the letter has changed in the past 3 years?

Yes, the additional letter method via PayPal IPN is how I used to run it, just wondering now if I could do so again while I'm installing a new version of the shop :)

Hello all,

 

This post is not targeted at any particular individual. I place it here due to my questions relation to the original post.

 

I have been in here for two days, reading a lot of information, a lot of it not very clear at all and a lot of it appears to contradicts previous information, or is guesswork.

 

At present, I am looking for definite instructions on how to use PP Standard with one PP business account, across several online stores, utilising OSC v2.3.1 - simple?

 

I do not wish a coder to do the work for me, I just need to know how to bring together OSC - multiple sites / Paypal Standard / Paypal account - in plain English...

Kind regards,

 

Peter...
