Allow authors to use their own PayPal account and payment process automation [closed]

PayPal offer two ways of doing this:

Parallel Payments

This allows you to essentially conduct 2 transactions (each with their own line item) in one go.

The end-user adds their information to your cart, and get’s forwarded to the PayPal Gateway. They see 2 distinct line items:

  • Your vendors product info @ 95% of the total
  • Your fee @ 5% of the total

This is super-easy to set up. All you’d need to do is store the vendors PayPal information in an additional user_meta field, and drag it out before sending the end-user to PayPal.

The two line items, however, can be a bit daunting for less-savvy end-users; and may result in a reduced completion rate.

Chained Payments

This allows you to take a single payment from the end-user. PayPal then processes the payment, and automatically forwards the specified percentage (or fixed dollar amount) to your vendor.

This is better for the end-user experience, but is a challenge to set up.

Check out PayPal’s Adaptive Payments API for info on how to implement.

Edit: Sorry – I missed the WooCommerce tag on your post…
