I don't know if we're on exactly the same ground here. These sites are all mine. They all belong to one business. I've certainly never been told that there are legal issues in this. All you're doing is processing a credit card transaction. If I sold my goods in 5 different stores, I wouldn't need 5 separate merchant accounts.

We are thinking of implementing something similar but Bank Of America said you can't legally. Obviously, there are other problems like having to handle disputed claims and getting the checks cut and sent to the individual clients, but I just don't want to start down a road and find out I'm doing something illegal.

It's fairly simple to keep everything separated by providing prefixes for the transactions from each separate site. Reporting isn't harmed... I use Verisign. --Ferg -----Original Message----- From: Burns, John D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 3:01 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Merchant account of choice In a related question, how many of you have multiple sites using credit card processors? Do you make each site sign up for a separate merchant account or has anyone been successful in setting something up where all transactions go through one account? Also, I heard that PayPal was supposed to be implementing an API so you could process through them directly from your site without any jump over to one of their pages, but I haven't had luck in making it work. They handed out the CDs at MAX and they have stuff on their site, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Anyone with better luck than me?
