By automating the distribution of funds between your store and your vendors, this plugin removes the administrative burden of manual accounting, ensuring your partners are paid accurately and on time while keeping your checkout process seamless and secure.

Key Features

• Refund Handling: Streamline the refund process by automatically managing the reversal of funds from both the store owner and the vendor when a customer requests a return.
• Detailed Transaction Logs: Access comprehensive logs for every transaction, making it easier to audit payments, troubleshoot issues, and reconcile your accounts.

Use Cases / Who It’s For

This plugin is an essential tool for any WooCommerce store owner operating a multi-vendor marketplace. If you run a platform where multiple sellers list their products and you take a commission on each sale, YITH WooCommerce Stripe Connect Premium is designed to save you hours of administrative work. By automating the split of payments, you eliminate the need to manually calculate commissions or process bank transfers to vendors at the end of the month.

It is also ideal for businesses that operate with complex revenue-sharing agreements, such as agencies managing multiple client sites or platforms that provide services through third-party providers. Whether you are scaling a large marketplace or managing a niche community shop, this plugin provides the financial infrastructure needed to handle distributed payments reliably and professionally.

Setup / How It Works

1. Connect Your Stripe Account: After installing the plugin, navigate to the settings panel to connect your Stripe account using your API keys.
2. Configure Vendor Accounts: Ensure your vendors have their own Stripe Connect accounts linked to your marketplace, which can be facilitated through the plugin’s onboarding flow.
3. Define Commission Rules: Set your global commission rates or define specific rates per vendor or per product to determine how the revenue is split during checkout.
4. Enable Payment Methods: Choose which payment methods you want to offer your customers, such as credit cards, digital wallets, or local payment methods supported by Stripe.
5. Live Operation: Once configured, the plugin automatically detects the vendor associated with a product in the cart, calculates the split, and instructs Stripe to route the funds accordingly upon successful payment.
