I'm wondering is it possible to have multiple Paypal shopping cart in one domain/site?
Edited:
One website, has many businesses which also have many products.
Each business has it's own paypal account and hence cart.
Is it possible to hold 1+ such shopping carts on one website, and how can the session to be managed to store the items in the cart?
In short, yes. You can have multiple shopping carts, one for each business, or a shopping cart that handles multiple vendors. How you may implement it such a cart depends on your specific needs.
Here are some helpful links:
PayPal Adaptive Payments API
Adaptive payments handles payments between a sender of a payment and
one or more receivers of the payment. Senders and receivers can have
any PayPal account type. Senders and receivers are not required to
have PayPal accounts initially.
iScripts MultiCart (Result of quick Google search)
Open source shopping cart script that handles multiple vendors thereby
generating multiple store fronts.Each seller has their own
administrative area to manage their own products, orders, and
shipments. Buyers will be able to buy from one seller or multiple
sellers at a time.

How do big e-commerce businesses do payouts to multiple vendors/merchants when people make purchases of multiple sellers. Most e-commerce giants have multiple onboarding methods. For example Wish allows you to onboard as a seller through PayPal, Payoneer, and like 6 other chinese payment gateways.
On the front-end, they always allow cards and PayPal for transactions. What do you do if you have 5 sellers, and 4 of them are on PayPal, and 1 of them is on Payoneer. How do you split that payment? I ask this question because I'm trying to find out how you do payouts to sellers on marketplaces when people can be onboarded to multiple different gateways on the same transaction.
Payouts is for sending money from your own account(s) to others. Are you actually asking about such payout functionality, or are you asking about how to implement a marketplace that facilitates payments from customers to sellers.
In any case, if you are integrating different services then those are simply separate integrations.
If the use case is to spilt a USD 100 payment into 2 parts and settle it to two different vendors across two platforms.
It will require two things
(i) build a business logic using the settlement APIs over and above the integrations of various Payout solution providers
(ii) accept the total amount (USD 100) paid by customers on a single source account prior to settlement to different vendors
Is there an existing solution that provides the following?
any seller can create a store with virtual products - every product costs a monthly subscription fee (the solution will contain many stores)
any buyer can subscribe to products (set-up recurring payment)
the system should be worldwide/universal for all types of payments - credit cards, paypal, ..., the system should also support mass payouts to the sellers
Is there an existing solution that I can use/buy? (can shopify or other services do this?)
If not - what components should I use while building such system? I was thinking about https://www.paypal.com/pdn-recurring along with paypal Payouts API, but what about the system for building the stores?
It sounds like you're the person creating the product and you want many sellers to sell your product and you want to give them a recurring payout when that happens.
If that's the case, have you looked into Affiliate systems like Clickbank or JvZoo, where you list your product with them and then affiliates will sell the product for you and they handle all the payment processing.
Paypal doesn't handle affiliate payouts, so it's going to a lot of work on your side to track and do payment disbursement and handle refunds and charge backs.
My web application is a multi-vendor marketplace service
PayPal requires that the vendors are the primary recipient for chargeback reasons
My company collects a service fee % from the vendor for each sale
There can be several vendors in one client purchase
Chained payments only allow one primary recipient
Parallel payments require that I expose the buyer to the service fee. For example, if I show an item for sale for $11 on the site, in PayPal's transaction interface, the buyer then must actually purchase a $9.90 item from the vendor plus a service fee of $1.10 from my company.
I have read that Etsy does not have this problem in their PayPal interface.
I have read that several Wordpress and Joomla shopping cart plugins handle this same issue without the buyer confusion
I see many questions about this on SO, but none with a good solution.
What is the preferred method to process multi-vendor marketplace transactions on PayPal?
Here are some SO similars that didn't help:

Paypal Adaptive Payments- Parallel or Chained for my multi vendor market place?
Sorry I am new. I was trying Paypal Shopping Cart function and i realize that in paypal sandbox cart it allows users to edit the quantity. How do i go about keeping track of these quantity, lets say in my website they keyed 2 for quantity but in the paypal shopping cart they changed it to 1.
Does it mean that it is not recommended to have own shopping cart and orders should be viewed at paypal website?
Many thanks!

Implement cart upload. Then you can upload a list of multiple items the customer selected on your site and customers won't be able to change the quantity after reaching PayPal.
Is there any way to create a shopping cart through PayPal that allows shoppers to add subscriptions for multiple items into a shopping cart then check out all at once?
This is easily done with regularly priced items, but does not work with recurring subscription items. Tax and shipping also need to be added to the subscription (based on geographic location) because it is a physical product.
PayPal customer support and technical forums have been no help in solving this.
Subsequently if this is not possible with PayPal, does anyone have suggestions for another payment processor that could handle this task eg authorize.net?
The subscription buttons won't handle this. They can only handle a single subscription, for a single item, in each session.
I would suggest using Express Checkout. Using Express Checkout, you can charge the buyer for multiple items upfront, and set up a recurring payments profile at the same time.
