PayPal help?

Post by patch2112 »

Hello all,

I've posted in the paypal developers forum, no response. I've email them, they sent me a standard email, totally unrelated to my question, and I've searched their help files. Can anyone help me?

I've got multiple websites and I'm using my own php cart. I want to use 1 PP (can only have 1 anyway) but for the right business name to come up when the visitor gets to PP. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Philip

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but, I really doubt that is possible. You'll need to inform your clients/customers that the name in your paypal account is associated with your site.

I know you can have multiple e-mail addresses, but multiple business names for the account is something I've never been able to do.

I think it'd be a good site suggestion if you're willing to fire them off another e-mail. :wink:

I think you must be right, because I can't find anything on the subject. I've called several times too and its really not worth arguing the point with the person that answers, but they don't seem to know anything about it, more for people asking how to reset their passwords and the like.

So off to the bank to open a seperate bank account for each website I have, and then to get verified through PayPal for each site. What a pain. I will certianly send an email and anyone else that is having the same problem should too.

Thanks for the reply.

Suggestion E-mail

Post by patch2112 »

I can't find a specific email for developer suggestions. Any body know of one? I'm not going to waste my time writing a suggestion if it's not going to be read by someone that even understands what I'm saying.

Thanks,
