With our YITH WooCommerce Multi Vendor / Marketplace plugin, you can pay commissions to vendors manually or automatically. Commissions can be paid manually if, for example, the admin decides to make a bank transfer or send the payment through PayPal outside the site. By doing so, there’s no way the plugin can record the payment on its own so, after making the payment, the admin would have to go to the dashboard, to YITH > Multi Vendor > Commissions, and mark each commission as paid:
Or you can use our plugins, YITH Stripe Connect for WooCommerce or YITH PayPal Payouts for WooCommerce, and pay commissions automatically. Let’s see how to use our Stripe Connect plugin to do so…
- Once both plugins, Multi Vendor and Stripe Connect, are installed and activated, you’ll need to configure Stripe Connect (you can refer to this documentation page to learn how to do it) and then enable Stripe Connect to pay commissions in YITH > Multi Vendor > Commissions > Gateways:
- Then you can move on to the following tab, Commissions Settings, and enable the option to pay commissions to vendors during checkout. By enabling this option, you’ll get a new option to select the payment gateway to use on checkout and that’s where you’ll choose Stripe Connect:
This way, when customers place their orders, the payment will be automatically split between the admin and the vendor considering the commission rate set, making it that much easier to pay vendors. If the payment is processed successfully, the commission will be automatically marked as paid:
Please note that for this to be possible, vendors must have a Stripe account connected. They can set this up on their dashboards > Your shop > Payment info:
