WooCommerce PayPal Payouts is a WooCommerce Plugin that uses the PayPal Payouts API in order to split the payments and send to multiple PayPal Accounts(max 500 receivers per API call). Payouts settings can be configured at Product Level, Category Level and Global Level. The main(Admin) PayPal Account should be a Business account to use WooCommerce PayPal Payouts.

Please note that using this plugin the Order Amount cannot be instantaneously split between the Users when a customer makes a payment. Payments split will be processed after admin receives the payment.

How it works?

WooCommerce PayPal Payouts works as follows

Step 1: A customer makes a payment with any WooCommerce Supported Payment Gateway.

Step 2: Site Admin receives the Full Payment for the Order.

Step 3: The Commission percentage and the commission amount will be listed in the Payouts Table once the order reaches the status as per the set up in “Payouts Order Status Settings”.

Step 4: Payouts Payments will be finally processed.

It supports three types of Payouts.

1. Automatic Payouts – The commission percentage specified by the admin will be automatically sent to the users.

2. Manual Payouts – The site admin has to manually send the commission to users.

3. Scheduled Payouts – Site Admin can schedule the commission for the users.
