]]> <![CDATA[Stripe Payments]]> Stripe Connect is integrated via "Standard Account Onboarding". Vendors are able to connect existing accounts to the mall's Stripe Connect account through Stripe or are prompted to create an account at Stripe, if they don't have an account yet.

Payments are only transfered to vendors, after the paid amount becomes available for the mall.

ACH payments are integrated via Stripe.js with delayed-verification using microdeposits.

By default, Stripe automatically creates payouts of your available account balance based on the schedule specified in the Dashboard. The schedule used is dependent on your country and whether your business operates in a higher-risk industry.

If you would prefer to receive payouts on a fixed schedule, you can choose to have them sent either weekly or monthly in your account’s payout settings.

]]> <![CDATA[Vendor payments and fees]]> There are four options to setup the vendor fees and vendor payment options

Fees and Commissions

A. Charge a monthly fee

B. Charge a % per transaction

C. Charge a monthly fee and a % per transaction

D. Create subscription packages and limit the amount of products they can upload. So is up to you to use any combination.

Vendor Payments

The store owner can either receive all payments on behalf all vendors or allow vendors to get paid.

Please note that if you use paypal adaptive payment option, paypal splits the money between super admin and vendorse.g. An order with items from three vendors. Paypal will split the total amount of the order between the three vendors minus the commission of the store owner. With paypal adaptive enabled vendors will receive the money and store owner will get the commission from all vendors and all these with ONE transaction.

]]> <![CDATA[Which payment options are available with the Multi-Vendor edition...]]> With the Multi-Vendor there are three options to set up payments.

1. Super admin receives the money for all sales and manually pays the vendors minus his commission eg. weekly or at the end of the month. If this option is selected you can use any payment gateway.

2. Vendors receive money for their sales. If this option is used all vendors need to use the same payment gateway which is PayPal website payments. At the end of the month or week, you will invoice the vendors with your commission and ask them to send you the money to your bank account.

For 1 & 2 there is a report you could run to see how much you owe to vendors (1) or vendors owe you (2).

3. Paypal Adaptive, PayPal for Marketplaces, Stripe, Link4Pay.
The store owner requires PayPal adaptive account and vendors a normal PayPal account. If PayPal adaptive is used everybody gets paid when the user pays for the order. Vendors will receive the money, minus your commission, to their PayPal account and super admin will receive the commission to his PayPal account which was deducted from vendors. This way everybody gets paid with one transaction and there is nothing to follow up.


]]> <![CDATA[Do the payments from customers would go to vendors directly?]]> Vendors can set their own payment gateway if the Super Admin (Mall Owner) enables this option.
By default vendors are NOT allowed to enable their payment gateway.
If you do not enable this feature, all payments will be paid to Super Admin's merchant account.

]]> <![CDATA[Vendor Journals]]> Vendor Journals

How to setup order journals only vendor account

admin.php?p=vendor_groups
and
admin.php?p=vendor_group

You can now define vendor groups without any of the default "Vendor Privileges" but with only the "Order Journals" as "Additional Vendor Privileges" which enables you to create a vendor order only account.

Please note: You can leave the number of products at 0, it will be counted as 0 and not as unlimited in this case.


You can also create vendors through the admin area, that don't have any permissions set, except for the special order journals permission.


When signing up through the vendor signup page. If the order journals group was created correctly, this group will be listed without any product references at the signup vendor page:

index.php?p=signup_vendor

The whole permission system was redesigned for the vendor frontend to allow restricting the vendor access to specific pages and also allow specific pages. Since the vendor frontend-only used to have a few selected pages, the permission system was only designed to take care of certain settings and was much more permissive, if wrong settings were set.

If you login to an order journals accounts at the frontend, you will see, that the list of available pages is shrunk down to a few pages. namely the vendor resources area, the ticket system and the contact management page and of course the order journals page.

All other pages can't be accessed by the order journals account.
