Building Sales Channel App for a Marketplace with external checkout and payment distribution

Hey, i have gone through shopify sales channel guide and the recently published marketplace kit. I would like to know if its possible to build a sales channel app that syncs products to marketplace and orders from marketplace. This implies that checkout is on an external website.


Example flow I would want to follow
* Shopify merchant installs sales channel to sync products to an external marketplace

* A person buys products from different Shopify merchants in the external marketplace

* The person goes through an external checkout and pays the external marketplace

* The external marketplace creates different orders through the OrderAPI to the different Shopify merchants

* The external marketplace pays corresponding amounts to the different Shopify merchants (this could be deferred too)

 

Is that flow possible to achieve or I would be forced to pay the Shopify merchants outside Shopfiy and just create simple orders?
