Hi all,
I was into lurking mode for long. The discussion on prodding clients
to send content was interesting and helped a lot. I'm now looking for
an eluding solution and need your help.
Currently working on a web project which acts as a platform between
buyers & sellers. Payment transaction has to go through the site, and
the payment mode is Paypal. When a buyer pays, the amount needs to
reach sellers Paypal account while deducting a commission for site
owner's account.
The procedure seems natural and I feel there must be a way to handle
this. But found only the 'mass pay' option in Paypal which seems to be
more suitable for a Website accumulating & sending payments to sellers
once a month. Also, in 'mass pay' the sender bears the transaction fee
(apart from the paid amount), which goes against the normal online
purchase procedure.
Is there a way to split the payment from one payer to two recipients on
a single transaction? If not Paypal, does Google Checkout have a
solution for this. Any other alternatives?
Thanks in advance & looking forward to enlightening tips!
best regards,
Viggie
