    Is there a way to have products/shopping cart with PayPal integration to X PayPal account AND ALSO have a "make a donation" option that pays Y PayPal account?


    Very interested in the feature and look forward to the response

    There is a workaround that you can do to combine the Sell Product option with the donation options

    You have an "Amount" box to collect the donation amount combined with the products that you are selling. The workaround is available with the Sell Products payment type. You will create a product with for a dollar with a quantity option that is a textbox and has a "space" as the quantity label.

    When you do the above instructions, the payment field will appear like this.

    Then, we can apply CSS codes to the form to hide the checkbox on the left and the price ($1.00) on the right. — How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes

    Here's a sample form:

    This is not what I asked.

    I want the products being purchased to be paid to PayPal account number 1 and a fixed or variable donation to PayPal 2

    Hi, thank you for your response.

    I'm afraid it's not possible to have two PayPal accounts connected to one form.

    Alternatively, you can have different forms for each PayPal account and payment type (either sell products or collect donations) and embed them on the main form where the option for payment types is shown. You can check this guide for all the necessary details to complete the integration.
