It came to my attention that it might be advantageous to use a paypal micropayment account for the smaller purchases on our site. Is there a way to set the cart to automatically use one paypal account for payments under $12, and another for over $12 -- not a user choice?
Thanks, Stephanie

hmm It is not available out of the box but may be you could get this done through custom coding. One way could be modify gateway code to take care of two accounts. If order total is less then some desired amount then process that order with one account otherwise use second account.

Yes, I don't mind custom coding -- do you believe it might be accomplished without source, or would I need that?
Thanks! Steph

It depends. For example if you are able to write a complete custom gateway for PayPal then you can do this without source code. If instead of writing complete new gateway if you want to modify the existing paypal gateway code then you will be required to have its source code.
