Instant Commission

This article explains how to setup instant commission using PayPal Adaptive Payments for your online store.

In order to use Instant Commision, we need to use PayPal Adaptive Payments and you will need a verified business PayPal account.

  1. You will also need to request an API Signature from PayPal. Click this article to to find out how to do this.
  2. You will also need to create an Paypal Application ID by visiting this url https://developer.paypal.com

You can also enable the Sandbox mode of jMarket to test the integration before going live.

*Note: Don't forget to disable the sandbox mode when you are ready to go live.

You will need to have at-least 3 test sandbox accounts to cover the Store manager, vendor and buyer. Once you have all the necessary information, please follow below simple steps;

Step—1 Enable the Sandbox mode

Put your store into Sandbox mode. Click this article to find out how to do this.

Step—2 Setup the store manager payment gateway

In the admin panel, Components >> Payments
Click New to create a new gateway.
Fill in all the required fields, which are indicated by a red asterisk (*). Most of the options obtain a tooltip that will help you explain its usage.
Click [ Save ] to save your changes.

Note: Application ID is not required if you are using Sandbox mode. And below screenshot does not represent the correct Sandbox information and is used only for demonstration purposes.

Step—3 Setup your Cart Preferences

In the admin panel, Components >> jMarket >> Orders
In the orders page, select Cart Preferences

Direct Payment to vendor should be set to No.
Payment Type >> Chained
Primary Receiver >> Store Manager or Vendor
Vendor Handle Shipping should be set to No. Setting it to Yes will disable the Split Payment because it requires Multi-cart functionality which jMarket does not have at this moment. We have this feature in the todo list, please contact our support team to inquire about the availability of this feature.

If Vendor is set as Primary Receiver:

The Store Manager NEED to support all the currency the vendors is using and make sure to have in his paypal account all the currencies that is listed as ACCEPTED.


Step—4 Setup your commission

 View this article to learn how to setup your commission.

Note: Split payment is not necessary if you do not have commission setup because there is nothing to Split once the buyer completes the order.


Step—5 Setup the Vendor Payment Email and Program

In the frontend area, login using a vendor account
In the Vendor area, click Home >> Edit Profile
Fill in the vendor payment email and select a Program to subscribe the user to the commission. If a vendor is not subscribed to the Program, they will not be charged commission.
Click [ Save ] to save your changes.

NOTE: If you are using Chained Payments, these accounts must be verified PayPal accounts or the transaction will not work.
