Overview
Stripe Connect (opens new window) lets you facilitate payments on your Craft CMS site, build a marketplace, and pay out sellers or service providers globally
- Onboard vendors: Onboard your vendors and verify their identity.
- Pay out vendors: Split payments, transfer funds, and send money.
- Manage platform: Manage payments and vendors on your platform or marketplace.
Stripe Payments uses the Separate charges and transfers (opens new window) approach to Pay out vendors quickly and reduce operational overhead with Connect’s global routing and payout engine. You can split funds between multiple vendors, instantly route payments across borders, and specify your earnings on each transaction.
When the Stripe Connect setting is enabled, three new links will be available in the main sidebar menu:
- Commissions
- Connect
- Vendors
Basically a Vendor is associated to a Craft User and to a Stripe Account, on Connect you can define for 1 Vendor, what products (1 or more, or all) the Vendor Rate to transfer. And finally on Commissions you can manage the transfers, if the payment type for the vendor is manually you can Pay the commission from there.
