'Jlinc' has figured the paypal for commerce , but there is bugs that makes it unusable for now. He is waiting for cs cart to fix the issue.
can I ask why heldesk say PayPal Commerce Platform is the only option if you want the money from each order to be automatically distributed between the marketplace owner and the involved vendors. "
Are they only talking about paypal services or are they talking about any payment at all ?
Because stripe does it .
I really dont want to go with stripes for obvious reasons. But it really bothers me this paypal situation its been going on for a while now, and i feel i am not going to have the choice now.
so lets say a buyer purchased product from vendor A and vendor B in the same checkout, stripe connect as it is right now will not split the payment to each vendor on the same order. What they are saying is PayPal does it. You could accomplish the same thing with Stripe connect and split payment add-on from cart-power.
When a customer pays for an order that consists of products from different vendors in one cart, Stripe Connect automatically splits the payment between the vendors, transferring the commission to the account of the store owner.
The money is transferred straight from the customer to the vendor without any deposits on the store owner side. The store owner simply gets his or her fee during the process.
The vendor is responsible for the cost of Stripe fees, refunds, and chargebacks.
Stripe allows to connect an unlimited number of vendor accounts to the store owner’s account.
