Hi All,

Here is my site model.
We sell our products and also allow other sellers to sell products from our site. The visitor (Buyer) may purchase products from more than one product, of course products from more than one seller.

If the buyer pays for the products of sellers which he purchased, we need to take the standard commissions and send the rest to the sellers.

As this is not a typical B2C Ecommerce model (Like an EBay B2B model), a complete payment solution is needed to have this cycle have to be ensured with correct billing. We also do not want to show how much commission we take on each sale in the Customer's bill copy.

We can do any programming is needed at the server level we can do it at PHP for calculating the fees etc.

Please let me know if any such solution exists.

Thanks,
Benny

This sounds very close to a drop ship model. In the drop ship business model, drop shippers are usually given a discount instead of a commission. At the end of the month, they are billed by the manufacturers for the product plus cost of the shipping.

I'm not sure I follow why you need a specialized gateway. If your cart is handling all of the CC transactions then pretty much any gateway should work fine. I feel like I'm missing something?

Ok. C2C.
But no matter if its C2C or B2B, the model is the same. We can write program for a commission or discount based model which allows a seller-buyer vertical portal to run with a payment-splitter (?).

The site owner gets commission on each sale. The buyer may buy products, allow shopping cart to carry from any seller. Site owner's commission should be deducted automatically and the rest of the money should go to corresponding sellers.

I do not know if any merchant account providers with such payment gateway modules are providing such services that simplify the process.

The main issue to be solved is the billing. The bill which a buyer receives should not show any commission details which the buyer receives. Also allowing end of the month(or in any accpeted interval) payments to sellers would be great.

I have tried to explain. Is there anything like this?
Thanks once again.
