Receive notification when there's multiple websites on one PayPal account

Hi guys,

I'm going to be setting up multiple ecommerce stores for a bunch of clients, most likely using WooCommerce. Each ecommerce store will be on a separate domain but they will all receive payments to the same PayPal account. As orders come in to the stores, I will then disburse payment to each client. The thing is, is there any way for me to capture the actual store or URL that the order came from? All the stores will be selling the same items, so I need to be able to know in some way exactly which store generated a sale so I can disburse payment to that storeowner.

Is there some way I can capture that data? I don't mind which form it takes, just as long as I get that notification in some way! I'm not sure if this PayPal IPN thing I've read about would help or whether to use hidden fields in the button or something completely different. I've gotten a bit turned around on whether or not this can be done and would appreciate some thoughts. Thanks.

      Thanks, Kirk. That first link was helpful; I'd read that second link before. The thing that still confuses me though is I'm going to be using multiple domains and subdomains here for stores. Some clients will just want a subdomain on my site for their store, others will want their own domain, but there is only one IPN notification URL in PayPal. Can that IPN URL actually be any page on my own site that I can access and then it will return all the information I need regardless of what domain/subdomain a transaction originated? So is it basically an account-level listener that will return things like transaction URL for any site that sends a payment to the PayPal account, or does every WooCommerce installation require its own IPN? Thanks.

    You can create a different product id for each of the different stores, this way you know which ones sold which.
