Workflow of PayPal Adaptive Marketplace Add-On
The first thing that has to be done by the primary receiver (admin) is to install the payment module. After installation, the admin needs to enter the PayPal account details and the sellers need to enter their PayPal username or ID in the account section. A customer who buys products from different sellers adds them to the cart and goes to check out. The customer is redirected to the PayPal page when the PayPal payment method is selected and continues to make payment.

The admin can opt either for Chained type or Parallel type of payment. In the former case, the primary receiver gets the entire payment. The admin has to release the amount due to the seller from the PayPal account section and gets a period of 90 days to execute the transaction. Once this period is over, payment process to sellers cannot be processed.

When the admin opts for Parallel Adaptive Payments, then payment is sent to many receivers simultaneously. Although the buyer purchases items from many merchants, there is only a single payment. The shopping cart ensures that payment is made to the several merchants involved. The admin doesn’t come into the payment picture at all. PayPal debits the sender’s account and credits the accounts of the receiver/s. Payment is thus split between the seller and the admin.

Vendors have to register for PayPal Adaptive accounts and sellers need to indicate their PayPal ID at the time of payment.

- Both the seller and the admin are benefited.

- Payment through PayPal is made separately for sellers and the admin.
- Payment to a maximum of 6 receivers can be made by PayPal at any time.
