My startup operates in a similar fashion to that of the typical daily deal sites - we accept payment from our users, take a cut off the top, and pay out the person\company providing the goods or services that we sold to our users.

BrainTree calls this "Third Party Payment Aggregation" but I think that is a BrainTree-inspired term, rather than an industry term.

I know there are many daily deals sites out there today that are doing this, but I do not know of any companies that provide such a service other than BrainTree.

Has anyone here had an experience with this or can offer any information? It will be much appreciated.

Paypal offer a similar service called Adaptive Payments I believe, I think that relies on the end users (the people supplying your goods) to have Paypal accounts themselves. But that in itself may save you some money on the transaction fees.

Thanks - this may be a solution, but is not one for us. We cannot force people to have PayPal accounts. – Bryan Migliorisi Sep 13 '11 at 16:13
