-Many owners of multi-vendor stores based on X-Cart PLATINUM or PRO would like to charge their providers a certain fee for using the store site to sell their products. Whereas this model of building a business on X-Cart PRO is by all means possible, it is worth noting that X-Cart PLATINUM and PRO editions do not provide any facility for handling payments between the providers and the store owner. When a product is sold through a store based on X-Cart PLATINUM or PRO, the money from the sale goes to the merchant account of the store owner, whereas any further payments - including the transfer of earnings from the sale from the store owner to the provider and the transfer of the fee for using the store site from the provider to the store owner - must be taken care of outside X-Cart.

 However, if you charge your providers a fee for using the store site as a percentage from each sale of their products through your store (the same percent for all provider accounts), X-Cart can help you to calculate how much you owe to each of your providers from each sale after the deduction of the fee they owe you. It also allows you to keep a record of payments you make to your providers so that at any moment you can check which payments have already been made and which are yet to be made. Your providers can also see their income from each sale and find out the status of the respective payent in their personal provider backends.
