I got a problem. If you should setup a Shopify store for sales of paintings with different persons. So the money goes to the right painter. I want to direct money to differet persons. Kan i do that with only one store??
Topic summary
A user wants to set up a Shopify store to sell paintings from multiple artists and route payments directly to each individual painter.
Community Response:
- Direct payment splitting to different sellers isn’t natively supported in standard Shopify
- Payments go to the store owner’s bank account, who would then manually pay the artists
- For tax purposes, artist payments count as costs, with only the margin being profit
Suggested Workarounds:
- Small stores: Use manual payouts to artists
- Growing stores: Explore third-party Shopify apps for multi-vendor functionality
- Large operations: Consider Shopify Plus for advanced features
Consensus: Most e-commerce sites handle this through standard business practices (receiving payment, then paying suppliers) rather than automated payment splitting. The discussion suggests not overcomplicating the setup.
Can you be more precise. Is the app free and is it different to setup this. And how do iI do this exactly?
Not really. The sale would come through your site and the money can only go to your bank account. You would just pay them yourself like with any other product you resold. What you pay them would be your cost for tax purposes as only the difference between what the customer pays you (minus fees) and what you pay them is your profit.
Hi
You can try this
If you have small store then use manual payouts.
it’s a growing store then use a Shopify app.
it’s a big business then consider Shopify Plus.
don’t overthink it. millions upon millions of sites pay people for goods that they sell. virtually none do what you want to do
