Worthy to note: Chained Payment not implemented

Hi,

perhaps its worthy to note, that this plugin doesn’t fullfill

the paypal requirements for a site which hosts crowdfunding projects for users.

the plugin has only on paypal account, which is sufficent

if site-owner is the same as project-owner.

For chained payment you neet two accounts, and special configuration for who is feepayer and commisson.

we have serious problems with paypal as it couldn’t approve our fundraising site.

i extended the plugin to support this mechanism.

I take it you mean for subsites and their owners?

Hi Tom,

no, we host fundraisings for several musicians, and paypal insisted, that the money has to to first to the musicians and then to us as site-owner.

here is how we changed the paypal call:
```
$nvp .= '&receiverList.receiver(0).email= SITE-OWNER

$nvp .= '&receiverList.receiver(0).amount=COMISSION

$nvp .= '&receiverList.receiver(0).primary=false';



$nvp .= '&receiverList.receiver(1).email=PROJECTOWNER

$nvp .= '&receiverList.receiver(1).amount='.urlencode($transaction['gross']);;

$nvp .= '&receiverList.receiver(1).primary=true';
```
the “primary” flag is required for chained payment.

as many people ask how to do a kickstarter like page, i think this is worthy to know.

with multisite each network site has todo the approval process with paypal.

Marking as resolved as the OP provided the solution they used in the same post and wasjnt originally a support question but a solution for people to use.
