Split Payments

One commission fits nobody

Your best seller and your newest seller are not the same deal. Fynex holds a split rule per seller — percentages and flat fees together, in the order you choose, with floors and ceilings that hold — and shows you the exact outcome before a single payment lands.

The problem

Your commission logic lives in a spreadsheet, and it shouldn't

Platforms outgrow a single commission rate almost immediately. One seller negotiated a better cut. Another is on an introductory rate for ninety days. A third has a flat listing fee on top of the percentage. The moment the terms stop being uniform, the money stops matching the rule — so someone rebuilds the arithmetic by hand in a sheet, every settlement, and hopes nobody checks.

The failure is quiet and expensive. A percentage gets applied to the gross instead of what actually settled, and the platform pays out money the payment never brought in. Two rules end up live at once after a mid-month change. A refund lands and nobody can say whose share it came out of. None of this shows up as an error — it shows up as a slow leak, and as sellers who don't trust your numbers.

How it works

How split payments runs on Fynex

Three steps from setup to settled — then it runs itself.

  1. 1

    Write the rule once, per seller

    Add a line for every party who gets paid: a percentage, a flat amount, or both on the same payment. Give each line a priority, a floor and a ceiling. Address payees by the IDs you already use in your own system — no second set of identifiers to reconcile.

  2. 2

    Preview it before you trust it

    Run any amount through the rule and see exactly what each party receives — gross, fee and net, line by line, plus the remainder to the penny. The preview isn't a model of the engine. It is the engine, running the same code and the same rounding the money runs on.

  3. 3

    Activate, and it holds

    Activating a rule atomically retires the previous one, so two versions can never be live at the same time. Every change bumps a version and carries its own effective date, which means a settlement can always be traced back to the exact terms that produced it.

What a split rule can express

The four things one commission rate can't do

Not a rate field. A rules object that survives contact with real commercial arrangements.

Mixed allocation

Percentages and flat fees on the same payment

A line can be a percentage, a fixed amount, or a mix across the rule — an 82% seller share, a 12% commission and a flat listing fee, all resolved against one payment. Percentages are held in basis points, so a 2.75% cut is exactly 2.75%, not a float that drifts.

Priorities, floors and ceilings per line

Every line carries its own order, a minimum it can't fall below and a maximum it can't exceed. That's how a fixed platform fee stays whole on a small order while a percentage share flexes around it.

You decide what happens when the math doesn't fit

If the lines add up to more than the payment, the outcome isn't a surprise — you chose it in advance. Fail the split outright. Fill lines in priority order until the money runs out. Shrink only the percentage lines and leave flat fees intact. Or scale everything down proportionally.

Net settled

Allocated on what actually settled

Shares are calculated against the net settled amount, after processing costs — so a split can never promise money the payment didn't bring in. The most common way platforms quietly overpay is closed off by construction.

Where a payment actually goes

One order, resolved against a live rule — and every figure is what the engine returns from a preview, before the money moves.

The intelligence layer

The intelligence behind every split

The rule decides who is owed what. The layer underneath watches what it costs you to get the money there, and what the numbers say about the sellers on the other side of the split.

Everything you get

What else comes with it

Beyond the headline job, every account gets the whole platform behind it.

Shares that follow the order

For baskets with several sellers, a rule can take its shares from the payment's own distribution — the same rule splits differently on every order.

The remainder always lands

Rounding leftovers go to your main wallet or a dedicated remainder wallet. The destination is re-checked when the money moves, not just when the rule was written.

Your IDs, not ours

Payees are addressable by the identifiers your platform already uses, so nothing has to be mapped back and forth to read a settlement.

Every version, dated

When a seller asks why last quarter looked different, the terms that produced it are still on file — you're not reconstructing intent from a changelog.

Allocate, then move

A split lands money in each party's wallet; paying it to a bank account is a separate step — so you can hold, net off or batch before anything leaves.

Payee verification built in

Every payee is verified before their first payout, so a split can't allocate into an account that can't legally receive it.

Rules over the API

Create, preview and activate split rules programmatically — or run the whole thing from the dashboard without writing code.

Settlement statements

Per-seller statements you can hand over, generated from the same allocations the money followed.

One platform, not a dozen

The stack a split touches

Money arrives, the rule allocates it, and the result is written back to the system you keep your books in — so a split shows up in your accounting the same way it shows up in your wallets.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Connect is built around the platform taking a commission — one application fee, applied uniformly. Fynex holds a separate, versioned split rule for each seller, with as many lines as the deal needs, percentages and flat fees together, and per-line priorities, floors and ceilings. If every seller is genuinely on the same terms, a single commission is fine. The moment they aren't, you'd be rebuilding the difference by hand.
Yes. A rule holds as many payee lines as you need — the seller, your commission, a referral partner, a fulfilment fee, a flat listing charge — all resolved against the same payment in the priority order you set.
You decide in advance, and the system does exactly that every time. Fail the split. Fill lines in priority order until the money is gone. Shrink only the percentage lines so flat fees stay whole. Or scale every line down proportionally. It's a property of the rule, not a runtime surprise.
The net settled amount, after processing costs. It's deliberate: allocating against the gross is how platforms end up promising more than the payment actually delivered, and then covering the gap themselves.
Yes, and the preview is the real thing — it runs the same engine, the same rounding and the same policies as the live money path. Put an amount in and you get each party's gross, fee and net, the remainder, and a plain-English reason if it wouldn't resolve.
Refunds are handled deliberately rather than automatically unwound. Because splits allocate into wallets before anything is paid out, you can hold, net off against a later settlement, or recover a specific party's share — instead of a reversal firing on its own and pulling money back from a seller who's already been paid.
They need to be added as a payee and verified before their first payout, which is a short flow you can send them. Day to day they're addressable by the seller ID your platform already uses.
Rules are built in the dashboard, not in an integration project — write the lines, preview it against a real amount, activate. Most platforms have a working rule the same day they start.
