Split payment getaway
Lets say the user wants to buy a t-shirt. It costs $30. But there are 2 companies that have to be paid. Company A and company B. Company A has to be paid $20 and company B $10. Is there a way when user pays $30 that they split and $20 are deposited to company A's bank account and $10 to company B's bank account? |

You can take the money that the user pays and put $20 in company A's account, and $10 in company Bs account, but I suspect this isn't what you are looking for! So are you talking PHP? ASP? ROR? How is it being done now? In what manner are you, or are you expecting to, have the deposits done? Fill us in with some more info. |

Basically i thought if it could be done by an existing shopping cart. If not, then PHP. I want user to pay in any way ( be it Paypal, credit card etc. ) and the sum to be automatically divided and sent to the respective accounts. Can this be done? |

I don't see why this is not possible, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary fannying about as it would involve doing a double transaction on the server side of things, which would need to remain transparent to the customer. If you send them off to two paying locations it would just confuse the heck out of them. Ideally you would want the place the full amount with Company A and then get Company B to invoice Company A for X amount per month, for example. This is similar to (and it sounds like you are talking about) a kind of affiliate/referral system. - Mike |
