Splitting is the automatic division of a single payment between several recipients. The buyer pays once, and the money separates immediately: the platform fee goes to the platform, the rest to the seller of the goods.
Who needs it
- Marketplaces where independent stores sell on a shared storefront.
- Service aggregators taking a percentage of a deal between a client and a provider.
- Partner projects where revenue is divided by known shares.
Why it beats manual transfers
- Money does not pile up on the platform account and become a liability to sellers.
- No manual calculation and transfer of shares — the split rules are set in advance.
- Reporting is clearer: the dashboard shows who received what on every operation.
How this works in practice is on the marketplace payments page.
