You can split payments at the time of the sale, where you get to keep a portion of the funds of each sale. This payments method has the potential to generate more revenue from your business than a flat-fee model. The commission split occurs when the funds are captured for the sale.
During implementation, your implementation manager works with you to set your commission rates. During this process, you are assigned a vendor ID that you can use to manage your commission rates and subscriptions after implementation is completed.
Updating Commissions
BlueSnap pays you and your merchant according to the agreed-upon commission split, either a percentage or an amount.
To update your commissions, you must have the vendor ID that your implementation manager assigned to your partner account. You have the following options:
- Vendor Account — Send an Update Vendor request to update the commission rate on your vendor account. Commission rates are defined in the vendorAgreement container object.
- Transaction-level — You can override your account-level commission rates for each individual transaction. Commission rates are overridden in the vendorsInfo container, which is sent in Auth Capture, Auth Only, Capture, and most alternative payment method requests. For details about each payment method and their supported request properties, see Payment API.
