    I have an existing Amember site with a great deal of paying customers, paying with recurring subscriptions through PayPal.

    I now have a situation where I need to change the PayPal address for new signups. I understand that existing subscriptions will continue to be paid to the old PayPal address, which is fine, but I want new subscriptions to go to the new PayPal address. Is it merely a case of putting the old address into "Alternate PayPal Account Emails" on the PayPal config page and then entering the new PayPal address in the Merchant ID field?

    Also, the new address is being used by other websites to take payments for other products. When I look at the PayPal setup instructions, it says that Auto Return for Website Payments must either be the default value or blank; however, it is set to a different website completely to account for another payment process. Will this prevent me from using this account with this particular Amember installation?

    Thanks

    Yes correct.

    This should not be a problem. aMember send return_url to paypal when user redirected for payment, and paypal should use that return_url when redirect user back to site.
