PayPal Marketplace Options

Hi,

 

I am currently attempting to make a multi-vendor marketplace using PayPal as our primary payment processor. An issue I'm having is that I'm trying to figure out how to handle payments.

 

One method I found was to use the Depreciated Express Checkout Parallel Payments API (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/ht_ec-parallelPayments/) although I was hoping for more modern alternatives. PayPal for Marketplaces sounded perfect although it is not available. Adaptive Payments also seemed perfect, although it is also not available.

 

I was considering Billing Agreements (e.x. the vendor would act as the "buyer" and pay me (the website owner) the fee of whatever they sold), however it wouldn't work since it would require the vendors to add a Credit Card/Bank Account to their account (which for reasons I'd rather not specify, they are unable to do).

 

Thanks in advance!

Try (It's a PayPal service and of course compatible with paying with PayPal):

Thank you but that seems to only really be for large/already established businesses. I was hoping to use something that would be easy to setup without the need to contact PayPal
