Hi there!
I have a few questions for you.
My client is sold on Authorize.net. Which is making my life a bit more difficult: Can you please clarify a couple of things for me:
1. The reasons why Stripe and Paypal are important to use with WC Vendors are because otherwise the site/shop owner has to dish out the vendors manually … please correct me if I’m wrong.
2. My client want’s 100% of revenue to go to the vendor. She invoices the vendor some form of a franchise fee to get her cut. Is there a way to create multiple “site owner” accounts on one website? My thought process is if all of the site’s vendors we’re “site owners”, then they could link their respective Authorize.net merchent accounts and recieve 100% of revenue. This is sort of a reverse model/potentially ridiculous idea to the way you have WC vendors set up but I thought I’d ask. Is this a possibility? I hope it all makes sense!
I know this creates an even larger headache because of my Authorize.net scenario!
Thanks a bunch, I tried combing the forums as much as I could!

1.) Correct. PayPal and Stripe both have API’s (as does another called “MangoPay”) to pay vendors at the same time a sale occurs (or PayPal also offers payment scheduling). This makes paying vendors automatic.
2.) That would be near impossible. Authorize.net would require individual merchant accounts, then you have problems if a customer buys two products from two different vendors in the same cart, all sorts of garbage issues you really *dont* want to deal with.
My personal opinion, is to build the franchise fee into the commission paid out (e.g., a 5% franchise fee would be 95% commission to vendors) and to use Stripe. Then have the vendors add their bank details to their settings page by clicking the Connect to Stripe button. It’s the easiest way, the cleanest way, and the most hands free no hassle way.
