After a customer has paid with PayPal, the customer is sent back to nopCommerse with payment status. More specific: To the page with “return URL” sat up in the PayPal account.
A lot of nopCommerse users have multiple sites. Maybe a big storefront, and several simple coupon sites and blogs which also have order capability.
PayPal handles this, by allowing us to add separate “return URL”-parameter in the PayPal form value set going from our apps to PayPal like this:
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="[YOURSITEURL_WHICH_HANDLES_IPN]">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="[YOUR_SITE_URL_WHICH_HANDLES_RETURN_URL]">
<input type="hidden" name="_notify-synch:cmd" value="_notify-synch">\
This works only if your turn off the “hard” return URL sat in the PayPal account settings.
(Since now that information is supposed to follow the order information form, and is specific to each site connected to the common Paypal account)
Like you can see in the order form code above, this is easy to do.
The problem is that I can’t find any parameter in nopCommerse for the return URL.
Please help!
There are several discussions on the multiple return URL topic at PayPal forums, like this one:

hovengen, did you get an answer on this one? I did find a string for the Paypal standard return URL in the function PostProcessPayment in Nop.Payment.PayPal.PayPalStandardPaymentProcessor.cs.
I have 2 stores using the same PayPal account and while using the same sandbox account for both of them, I was returned to the correct site after the paypal transaction was done. I set up the PayPal sandbox account with the return URL and the PTI Identity Token as described in the NopCommerce instructions, using the URL of my first site in that space. Despite this, the second site returns to itself after a successful transaction and when the user clicks the cancel button.
While I have not tried the live Paypal account for a full transaction from the second website, the cancel button works successfully, taking the user back to the site that they were at before being transferred to the PayPal site.
I hope this info helps you.
