Hello, i am creating a software that i plan to release to public. But before i do i want to implement a way to get lets say 10% commission of any sales made through my software/services. I saw payout api but I not sure if this is what i need. How would i be able to implement something like that? Do i charge that commission during the checkout of the user's customer. Or do i charge directly to the user after their customers pay them? And if this is the case how would i go about doing such thing?   Finally, what if lets say a user make a sell to their customer of $7.99, i would automatically receive $0.79. But what is that customer requests a refund to the user. Wouldn't that $0.79 commission i received be retrieved as well?   Thank you for your time ... View more
