How to pay Vendors

Yep: “If you’re using the Dokan multi-vendor marketplace plugin in your WordPress shop to support multiple vendors, then you must be frustrated to find that there is no way to send payments directly to vendors with PayPal.”

Yep: “This is not automatic. Have to manually transfer the requested amount.”

Hello @thackett ,

I understand your point of view.

At the moment the Paypal’s automatic split and transfer is not possible. We are working on a separate module to allow this feature in our future releases. At the moment you can use plugins like WooCommerce Multiple PayPal Accounts Plugin to get this feature. Please consult with them first to be able to get confirmed information about the setup.

We have Stripe automatic split payment for vendors. You can learn more about it here.

Thank you ??

Thank you so much for getting back to me. I watched 20+ Dokan videos today. I started to notice a pattern no matter what language it was in. None talked about the most important part …. how to pay the vendors.

So to be crystal clear, every Dokan Multivendor store using PayPal today must manually send money to each vendor. Of course, excluding those stores that are using the WooCommerce Multiple PayPal Accounts Plugin.

Admins must manually…

1) Cut the Vendor’s “Paypal Email” from Dokan Plugin
2) log into PayPal
3) Paste the Vendor’s Paypal Email
4) Send money from Paypal
5) Go back to Dokan Plugin and approving it
6) Repeat.

The Stripe module is available in the Professional version.

Will the future PayPal module be available for the Lite Version?

Lite is a good way to test shop idea.

Hello @thackett ,

I understand this can be a little difficult if you have a large number of vendors.

The PayPal integration module is not finalized yet but most likely it will come with the Dokan Pro packages.

Thank you ??
