Miva Pay - Multistore

[marshallw]

Can I use the same MivaPay Key on multiple stores?

If not if I use the key to test on my dev site can I remove and add to my live site fine?

thanks,

You can use your same MivaPay keys on multiple domains/stores.

Perfect, thank you.

I should clarify. It is technically possible to use the same key on multiple stores, however, it is not desirable, and it costs nothing to have a new key per store. For a dev/live scenario, the issue you could run into there is if you delete a customer who has stored cards, it would affect the live site customer account as well, where their user would still exist but their cards would be gone. If that's not a concern, then fine to use the same key. The other scenario would be using the same key across different websites. Again, technically possible, but that could create a far greater issue if one of the stores is no longer needed. In such a scenario, when that store is deleted, its license key and MivaPay key are also removed, which triggers a deletion of all stored cards associated with that key. So, the one store deletion could trigger deletion of cards associated with a still operating store and all its customers.
