Do You Know About Paypal Chained Payments?

[JJ]

Hello Fastlaners,

My site currently uses Paypal chained payments to facilitate payments between a single buyer and a single seller, same as Ebay. Paypal's chained payments aren't good for managing returns and chargebacks though. :bgh:

Paypal's customer services is of no help. Does anyone have advice? Should I use a different paypal service or is there a processor you'd recommend?

I've looked at Stripe or Google Wallet API (i'm not a programmer btw), but I'd like to have a lot more control over the payments received and disbursed.

I can PM details if you are familiar with payment processing for marketplaces.

There are a lot of good things about PayPal - but there are a few pretty significant downsides. One is chargebacks. I work for Chargebacks911. We can help merchants fight chargebacks - but we stay away from PayPal entirely. PayPal has their own rules and regs and doesn't process chargebacks like other payment processors. I would recommend shopping around. While I won't give a specific suggestion, I would say you are already on the right track. Keep in mind your frustration with chargebacks when you go looking for a processor. Find one that is flexible when it comes to transaction disputres.

Hey! I tried out stripe a couple of times. works great and is somewhat actually easy to setup! even for a non programmer lol. I would also recommend trying out https://spacebox.io/ (simplified/easier and cleaner version of stripe) And check out https://www.balancedpayments.com/ Both are great websites for accepting payments
