I've noticed another sticky issue with 'multi store' or maybe it's just that i don't understand the limitations of running more than one shop together.

I understand that the payment mechanism is shared between sites. That's brilliant, I only need one merchant account and I can customise the credit card page for both of my sites.

However, when you complete a transaction in the second store, it seems that it returns the transaction information to the default store - confusing the crap out of the customer by taking them back to a different website than the one they were shopping on.

I've got different URLs for both secure and non-secure in the second store settings but the payment engine appears to returning the (https) URL as specified in /config.php.

If anyone has any experience of getting stores working fairly independently I'd be interested in having a chat. My other major issues is that there doesn't seem to be a way of using a different email address for the second store - so again customers on the second store are getting mail from a different domain than the one they're shopping on.

Maybe I should be more specific here:

Using the debit card payment extension for my merchant provider it returns to store A after a transaction from store B.

If I select cash on collection it returns to store B like it should.

I therefore can deduce that it's likely to require a mod of the Total Web Solutions payment module and not Opencart itself.

and the payment gateway is?

because this would not happen with paypal, sagepay,moneybookers etc..!

maybe worldpay since you have to define the return url in worldpay.

so its not Store B returns to Store A after payment. its if you use (unknown) payment gateway Store B returns to Store A after payment

Yes this is a problem with payments that rely on callbacks from gateways that require you manually put in the url. Gateways should be smarter than this.

Your only option would be to have a "redirect page" that can analyze certain parameters of the callback data (based on the allowance of misc params to be sent as part of the initial request) and it would then redirect to the correct store. Unfortunately since each payment gateway is different, it would need to be made for each gateway individually.

Thanks for your reply Daniel, but if you had actually read my posts...

Regardless, I've spoken to the developer of the module and he's looking into it for me. Cheers for the analysis Q!
