    Never heard of it being done and doubt it can be. Even if you could I don't see why you would it would be an unnecessary pain figuring out the where the payments were going. Just get two and make life easy!

    While it would be against the terms of what ever provider you use, i have known cases of business "sharing" a Merchant Account, it never lasted and always ended up in arguments over fees and chargebacks.
