Collect payments directly

With this model, payments belong to the platform account solely. The platform account is responsible for Payments fees, refunds, and chargebacks. The fund will be split from the platform account to one or many connected accounts. It is recommended for the case where the platform directly interacts with end customers and manages daily transactions. Typical cases include marketplaces or on-demand service platforms.

You can specify which connected account to be associated with a given transaction by using the connected_account_id attribute. The below chart illustrates the process of a standard one-off 100 GBP payment in this model.

In the case of Hosted Payment Page/Embedded Fields/Drop-in/Mobile Integration, platform can bypass step 2&3 but needs to create the FundsSplit request after receiving notifications that the payment is successfully captured.
