I am trying to figure out a good payment scheme for my project. I am just confused now. :(
This project involved 3 actors.
- website admin who provide the service/system
- publisher (who sell space ads)
- advertiser (who buy space ads)
The payment method will be Paypal only at the moment.
As website admins, we provide a service/application/system where advertisers can buy ads from publisher sand pay them directly using paypal.
We plan to take 10% - 15% of sold ad space. The problem is how can it work?
Example scheme:
Advertiser bought ads from publisher and pays them using paypal. Example price is USD $50.
Is it possible while the advertiser sends the payment to the publisher, it will auto deduct 10% and send the 10% to website admin's paypal account? It sounds impossible with paypal to receive one payment and split it among two recipients automatically.
Possible solutions:
Solution 1. Once the payment has been received by the publisher, publisher should send the 10% fee to website admin.
Solution 2. Publisher should pay us directly and we will send the payment to the publisher.
I prefer solution 1 since handling the payment directly from advertisers needs more management.
What do you think? Do you have any solutions for me?
