Description

It’s an addon plugin for –
WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace

Know more about this …

WHY DIRECT PAYMENT REQUIRED?

Marketplace laws in some countries, do not allow platform owners to hold payment. This implies, any purchase made by the customer should go directly to the vendor account.

INTRODUCTION

By default, when customers made a purchase, the money goes to the marketplace owner, who then distributes it among vendors.

In case you want to enable direct payment, WCFM Marketplace offers that via Stripe. This feature is inbuilt and you don’t need any add-ons for this.

In direct payment, the customer’s money first gets split between the owner and vendors based on the commission settings, and then credited to their individual accounts.

WHY PAYPAL, THEN?

PayPal is available in more than 200 countries/regions and support 25 currencies, whereas Stripe is available for businesses in 34 countries. Got the point?

WHAT OPTIONS DO WE HAVE IN PAYPAL?

PayPal Marketplace API has been implemented from the version 2.0.0 of this plugin.

WHAT WCFM Marketplace – DIRECT PAYPAL PAY DO?

WCFM Direct PayPal Pay enables payment to be split between admin & vendors. The commission amount goes directly to vendor’s PayPal account & the admin fee also goes to admin’s PayPal account. This is now implemented by PayPal Marketplace API.

RESTRICTIONS

👉 One order will contain products from maximum 10 vendors (due to PayPal Marketplace API restrictions)
👉 Vendor’s PayPal account should be a business account

Very bad support Team. Don’t buy the premium version, and It is full of bugs. They will never reply to your premium tickets. Buy some other related plugin. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on this buggy plugin with the worst support I have ever seen.

Bonjour Ă  tous, Je souhaitais vous informer tous de la situation actuelle concernant le systĂšme de paiements fractionnĂ©s admin/ vendeurs, sachez que je suis actuellement bloquĂ© Ă  cause de ce problĂšme dont tout ce que vous pouvez lire sur le sujet est erronĂ© ! Faisons le tour philosophique du problĂšme ensemble ; J’ai crĂ©Ă© une marketplace, mon entreprise est montĂ©e depuis 1 mois et je ne suis actuellement pas en droit de pouvoir commercialiser mon site en vertu de la DSP2… Deux rĂ©elles solutions s’offrent Ă  vous, stripe et PayPal, pour l’aspect commerciale, car sachez pour info, que les utilisateurs payent en moyenne 3 fois plus lorsque vous proposez PayPal, ce qui n’est pas tactiquement nĂ©gligeable. Pour commencer, il vous faut remonter la filiĂšre d’un compte “PayPal Commerce Platform pour les plateformes et marketplaces.” sur le site officiel de PayPal. Une fois votre demande effectuĂ©e, un premier support vient Ă  vous, et vous envois un pdf en Anglais Ă  remplir avec des piĂšces officielles qui doivent ĂȘtre validĂ©es par plusieurs services, cette Ă©tape est plus simple avec stripe, mais allons encore un peu plus loin que la rĂ©flexion pour en avoir fait le tour… Les contrats PayPal Commerce Platform pour les plateformes et marketplaces, qui aprĂšs validitĂ© du dossier s’il est acceptĂ©, vous annonce un dĂ©lai entre 4 Ă  8 semaines pour l’intĂ©gration de votre systĂšme de paiement fractionnĂ©, de quoi devenir fou car il n’y aucune documentation sur le sujet, il vous faut avoir un contact support et avoir fourni vos justificatifs pour obtenir ces informations dĂ©plorables
 NĂ©anmoins pour finir Ă  mon stade d’attente d’acceptation de mon dossier ou non… La vraie diffĂ©rence Ă  l’heure actuelle, est que en ce qui concerne stripe, leurs contrats plateforme ne gĂšre pas les remboursements, ni les litiges, votre chiffre d’affaire est un faux chiffre d’affaire par le fait, vous devrez avoir une comptabilitĂ© complexe et devoir rendre des comptes lors de vos dĂ©claration d’impĂŽts, sans compter qu’il vous faudra gĂ©rer les litige et rembourser les acheteurs, elle n’est donc ABSOLUMENT PAS LA SOLUTION POUR UNE MARKETPLACE contrairement aux informations erronĂ©es de WC lover. En ce qui concerne les solutions PayPal Commerce Platform pour les plateformes et marketplaces, leur contrat stipule que les litiges et remboursements sont Ă  LEUR CHARGE, les paiement sont rĂ©ellement fractionnĂ©s et distribuĂ©s immĂ©diatement sur les comptes bancaires des admins et des vendeurs, le compte PayPal ne doit ĂȘtre destinĂ© qu’Ă  cette activitĂ© et prĂ©senter un solde Ă  zĂ©ro en permanence, PayPal vous sert donc simplement de passerelle. Je traverse actuellement cette expĂ©rience ne fais que cela depuis de nombreuses semaines… En deux, et contrairement Ă  ce qui est propagĂ©, je ne vous recommande que, la solution PayPal Commerce Platform pour les plateformes et marketplaces, prĂ©voyez simplement un delai de 2 Ă  3 mois pour sont intĂ©gration, pas comme moi qui ne m’Ă©tait pas posĂ© de question Ă  ce sujet, et qui doit attendre encore un long moment pour commercialiser mon site pourtant opĂ©rationnel… Bon courage Ă  tous ! 😉

Buen complemento, justo lo que necesitaba para mi mercado de productos digitales, solo desactive las apis de PayPal y ahora los usuarios se registran sin mucho esfuerzo y reciben los pagos directos a su cuenta :). SerĂ­a bueno tener mĂĄs mĂ©todos de pago directo a mis proveedores. Si algĂșn dĂ­a crean nuevos mĂ©todos HĂĄgamelo saber!!!
