What it does
Running a store with several sellers usually means collecting the full payment and then paying each vendor by hand. That creates extra bookkeeping and room for mistakes. This extension handles the split at checkout instead, sending portions of a payment to multiple receivers in a single transaction through PayPal. It also supports chained payments, so funds can pass through the store before reaching vendors, along with delayed payments and instant refunds for more flexible order handling.
The extension works inside WooCommerce as a payment option, so it fits into the store you already run. You set rules for how each payment is divided, using percentages or fixed amounts, which makes it practical for commission-based marketplaces, group payments or partner revenue sharing. Payments go through PayPal's gateway, and buyers from around the world can pay. Note that this extension has been retired, so it is best suited to existing setups that rely on it.
Best for
- Multi-vendor WooCommerce marketplaces
- Stores paying commissions to sellers or partners
- Businesses splitting payments for shared services
