Description
Direct vendor payment for WCFM Marketplace using PayPal.
It’s an addon plugin for –
WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace
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

It is extremely disheartening when trigger happy users downrate a plugin for no fault of the plugin.
