Running Multiple Shopify Stores With PayPal
 

So i'd like to know if there is anyone here who runs a shopify store and can give some insight or tips on how I should go about accepting shopify payments through express checkout on multiple Shopify ecommerce stores. A lot of people who run multiple stores say they open separate PayPal business accounts to attach with them - but given the knowledge that I know with this forum, it definitely raises a red flag to even have multiple paypal business accounts as they obviously only let you have one. And of course, attaching the same SSN or EIN will create a link with every account.

So what would even be the solution for this? Or would I just simply have to collect payments all in one business account?

I don't really approve of having all your eggs in one basket, but you can have multiple payment email addresses on one PP to segregate your payment by origin. You don't have to have multiple PP accounts.

But using one PP will link all these shops together, and that will be impossible to overcome if the PP goes down at some point. You won't be able to use PP with those shops any longer and you'll have to start all over again.

Better from a redundancy viewpoint to get an EIN and a PP for each account and run them as separate entities.
