Title: Idea for 2.0
Post by: darksoul on March 14, 2011, 23:17:42 PM
I read that for new version in finally stable the multi-vendor feature.
Is there any possibility to customize PayPal checkout for divide cash to 3rd party vendors?
For example. My site take 30% of revenue.
So paypal checkout send 70% of revenue to 3rd party vendor account e-mail and the rest 30% to default store vendor?

I can pay for that!

As far as I know none of the payment solution providers/credit card processors or PayPal allows to split payments. If there is a third party (to which you have to pay a commission) this third party simply doesn't have any sort of contract with the customer or the payment processor. PayPal has something called "Mass payments" which some businesses use for paying affiliates. But this is simply sending a preset amount to several email adresses at the same time.

Did you know a good and thrusted site do to so?

your info is not correct. Actually paypal does "mass payment" look here.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_batch-payment-works-outside#works1

There are some also into paypal API
https://www.x.com/community/ppx/mass_pay

So. the problem is maybe to set payment amount a % of mass only 4 3rd party vendors.
Seem to be complex

That's what I said  ;)
But this doesn't allow you to automatically split a payment you receive into one portion for you and another portion for a third party.
