my question involves parallel (aka split) payments in paypal's adaptive payments api.
i have been trawling various forums last hour (doesn't www.x.com pages gone), , unable find clear answer seemingly simple question how paypal's fixed transaction fee applied in parallel payment.
i can boil down 2 scenarios, correct: scenario a or scenario b?
many thanks,
ollie
scenario a: buyer pays $100 (buyer not pay transaction fees)
transaction fees receivers split = $100 x 3.4% (variable) + $0.45 (fixed) = $3.85
seller #1 receives $90, less 90% of paypal's transaction fees (90% x $3.85 = $3.47) = $86.53
seller #2 receives $10, less 10% of paypal's transaction fees (10% x $3.85= $0.39) = $9.61
paypal transaction fees total = $3.85
scenario b: buyer pays $100 (buyer not pay transaction fees)
transaction fee receivers split = $100 x 3.4% (variable) = $3.40
seller #1 receives $90, less 90% of paypal's transaction fee (90% x $3.40 = $3.06 + $0.45 (fixed) = $3.51) = $86.49
seller #2 receives $10, less 10% of paypal's transaction fee (10% x $3.40= $0.34 + $0.45 (fixed) = $0.79) = $9.21
paypal transaction fees total = $4.30
if recall correctly, fee calculated scenario , split amongst receivers. test out on sandbox determine method used.
