Good day. I am registered in the UK as self-employed. I opened my first store and am already working. I sell products for animals.  
I want to open another store on the topic of jewellery.  
The question is, can I use my PayPal business account and Shopify payments in two different accounts???  
So I want to make a separate account so that my wife can also handle it.  
Thank you for your answer))
