Feature Request: Automated Revenue Splitting & Multi-Party Payouts
I would like to request a native "Revenue Split" feature that allows merchants to automatically route percentages of incoming revenue to different beneficiaries/accounts in real-time.
As distributed teams and partnerships become the norm, manual reconciliation of revenue sharing is a major pain point. Instead of one merchant receiving 100% of the funds and then manually calculating and transferring cuts to partners or co-founders, the payment platform should handle this "at the source."
Key Functionality Needed:
Programmable Splits: The ability to set rules (e.g., 50% to Founder A, 50% to Founder B) that execute automatically upon transaction settlement.
Partnership/Agency Support: Allow temporary or capped splits (e.g., an agency takes a 3% rev-share for 24 months).
Transparency: All parties involved should have visibility into the transaction flow to ensure trust.
Use Cases:
Bootstrapped Co-founders: Two friends launching a SaaS want to split profit 50/50 without setting up complex payroll or manual monthly transfers.
Strategic Partnerships: A creator or affiliate partners with a product for a specific campaign and receives an automatic % of the sales generated from that specific cohort.
Agency Hybrid Models: Service providers (like dev shops) lowering upfront fees in exchange for a backend revenue share of the product they build.

UP. This would also cover the case of Marketplaces: the marketplace cuts a fee from each children account’s sell.
