This addon is available for v3. I purchased a similar addon and have it install on my site HOWEVER, I disabled it and do not use it. It works well up to a point. Here's the scenario:
Your customer/buyer adds three items from three different vendors in their cart then proceeds to checkout. Upon checkout they see the 'stacked carts' (a separate cart for each vendor) each with their own 'checkout' or 'pay' button. When they checkout from Vendor #1, they are directed to PayPal where they sign in and complete that transaction. HERE'S THE PROBLEM: After completing that first transaction, the customer/buyer has to click a tiny blue text link to return back your site. If they don't see the link, the other two carts are potentially abandoned. OR if they try to return to the site without clicking the link from their first completed transaction, your site's cart may not be updated properly reflecting that they had paid for the first item. The process does become tedious and tiresome and is not completely intuitive or user-friendly.
As I said before, I have a similar addon installed but disabled. My addon did not require me or my vendors to have PayPal PRO which is absolutely cost prohibitive. This thread is for an addon that requires both you AND vendors to use PRO.
Off topic but potentially helpful to you: I recently installed an addon that allows me to accept credit card payments via Stripe and I like it. Stripe is free to use and they only take a small percentage of the amount (very similar to PayPal without the $30/month charge). I have not attempted to use it with the "stacked cart" or multi cart add on.
Hope that helps...
