Split Pay is the leading WordPress split payments plugin powered by Stripe Connect. Automatically split payments between your platform and one or more connected Stripe accounts – perfect for multi-vendor marketplaces, vendor payouts, commission management, and business partner revenue sharing.

Split Pay works with WooCommerce and FluentCart – on their own or side by side – and with the Stripe gateways your store already uses. It handles the entire payment splitting workflow – payouts, refunds, chargebacks and retries – so you can focus on growing your store.

How It Works

Your store charges the customer on your Stripe platform account through its normal checkout. Once the charge succeeds, Split Pay uses the Stripe Connect Transfers API to route a percentage or fixed amount of the sale to one or more connected Stripe accounts. Every transfer is tied to the original charge and tagged split_pay=1 in Stripe, and an order’s transfers never add up to more than the customer paid. Order notes record each result, so every payout is traceable from your WordPress admin to the Stripe Dashboard.

Supported Platforms & Gateways

WooCommerce with WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway (official)
WooCommerce with Payment Plugins for Stripe WooCommerce
FluentCart with FluentCart’s built-in Stripe integration – no WooCommerce required

Split Pay transfers only from Stripe charges on your own platform account, using the platform secret key you save for each mode under Split Pay > Integrations; Payment Plugins needs its own matching key (see Installation). Non-Stripe payment methods and WooPayments are not split.

Requirements

At least one supported e-commerce plugin: WooCommerce 7.9 or later, or FluentCart
A supported Stripe payment gateway configured for your chosen platform
A Stripe account with Stripe Connect enabled, and its platform secret key for each mode you use

％ PERCENTAGE-BASED SPLIT PAYMENTS

Transfer a percentage of every sale to a single connected Stripe account. Define a global split percentage and every eligible payment is automatically divided – no manual payouts required. Works with WooCommerce and FluentCart.

💱 CURRENCY AGNOSTIC PAYMENTS

Accept payments in any currency supported by Stripe – USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD, and 100+ more, including zero- and three-decimal currencies. When your Stripe account settles in a different currency from your store, Split Pay transfers and reverses in the settlement currency once Stripe has recorded the charge’s settlement.

💳 CARDS, WALLETS & NON-CARD PAYMENT METHODS

Split Pay splits the Stripe charge your gateway creates on your platform account: cards, wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, and non-card methods such as iDEAL, SEPA Direct Debit, Bancontact and ACH. Bank debits are split once the charge succeeds. Capture-later payments, including in-person Stripe Terminal payments, are split when WooCommerce Stripe reports the capture; confirm your first Terminal order in its order notes.

🧾 ORDER FEE ROUTING

Send part or all of a positive WooCommerce order fee – such as a “Handling” fee – to a connected account. Match the fee by name on the Advanced tab and choose the percentage to transfer (100% by default). Partial refunds, even product- or shipping-only ones, also reverse part of the fee transfer, by their share of the order total.

↩️ AUTOMATIC REFUND HANDLING

When a refund is processed in WooCommerce, or received through FluentCart’s supported Stripe refund event, Split Pay automatically reverses each vendor’s share. Line-item and shipping refunds reverse the matching transfers; amount-only refunds reverse a proportional share. A WooCommerce refund recorded before an order’s first transfer is deducted from that transfer instead.

⚖️ CHARGEBACKS & FAILED BANK DEBITS

When a chargeback arrives through the WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway’s signed webhook or FluentCart’s Stripe webhook, Split Pay reverses the order’s vendor transfers in proportion to the disputed amount. A won dispute is noted on the order, and the vendor is not re-paid. Through that WooCommerce webhook, a bank-debit payment that fails after vendors were paid has its transfers reversed in full. Payment Plugins-only stores handle both in Stripe.

🔄 AUTOMATIC & MANUAL RETRIES

When every transfer on a WooCommerce order fails with an error that can clear on its own, Split Pay retries up to 3 times, 5 minutes apart. For anything else, fix the cause and use the “Retry Split Pay Transfers” order action – transfers already paid are never sent twice. FluentCart transfers recover automatically.

🏢 VENDOR CONNECT SHORTCODE & CONNECT LINKS

Place the [split_pay_vendor_connect] shortcode on any page so an eligible signed-in vendor can connect Stripe with one click through Stripe-hosted onboarding, or share a Test or Live Connect link from Connect Status. On Stripe platforms that allow only Accounts v2, vendors get an Accounts v2 recipient account with the Express Dashboard and must be signed in to your site to use a shared Connect link. Administrators see Stripe’s reason when onboarding fails.

🔗 CONNECT AN EXISTING STRIPE ACCOUNT

Connect a Stripe account that already exists – your own or a vendor’s – to your platform with Stripe Connect OAuth from Split Pay > Connect Status. It can be chosen as a recipient straight away.

🔧 INTEGRATIONS TAB WITH GUIDED SETUP

A four-step setup wizard takes a fresh install from platform key to readiness check. The Integrations tab detects WooCommerce, FluentCart and their Stripe gateways side by side, shows each gateway’s transfer-key source, and runs account sync and read-only webhook checks.

🧭 CONNECT STATUS

See every connected account’s readiness in Test and Live mode, refresh the list from Stripe, confirm which Test account and Live account belong together, and check when your store last received a Stripe event.

🩺 PLATFORM STATUS

Platform Status shows your Stripe connection with a readiness check, which of your store’s payment methods Split Pay can split, what Split Pay does automatically, and a read-only data integrity check. When Stripe’s events reach your WooCommerce Stripe webhook, it also lists failed vendor bank payouts and accounts disconnected from your platform, which get no transfers until you click Unblock.

🔁 SUBSCRIPTION RENEWALS

Compatible with the official WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin. Recurring renewal orders follow the same Split Pay transfer path and saved settings as ordinary WooCommerce orders, and FluentCart subscription renewals are split automatically.

🧩 PRODUCT ADD-ON RECIPIENTS

With Product Add-Ons Ultimate, assign a connected account to an add-on group and Split Pay sends each priced add-on in that group to its account as a separate transfer.

⏩ HIGH-PERFORMANCE ORDER STORAGE (HPOS) COMPATIBLE

Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage, legacy order storage, and the Cart and Checkout blocks.

🛡️ ROBUST SETUP VALIDATION & SAFETY

API-key format and platform-identity checks, incomplete-configuration warnings, aggregate transfer alerts, and connected-account country notices surface setup problems before live use. Transfers must match the order’s Test or Live mode, and standard WordPress updates refuse Split Pay packages older than 3.8.4.

⌨️ WP-CLI COMMANDS

Audit and recover from the command line with wp spp verify-integrity, wp spp dump-transfer-log and wp spp retry-failed-transfers (with --dry-run).

🔌 DEVELOPER HOOKS & FILTERS

WordPress hooks and filters are available for transfer metadata, recipient selection, calculations, account creation, and custom integrations.

⭐ PRO Features

🔀 SPLIT PAYMENTS ACROSS MULTIPLE VENDOR ACCOUNTS

Split payments across multiple connected Stripe accounts simultaneously. Pay as many vendors, suppliers, or service providers from one order as you need and configure individual transfer amounts for each connected account, globally or per product. Works with both WooCommerce and FluentCart orders.

🔍 PRODUCT-LEVEL COMMISSION RATES

Set transfer percentages globally or override them at the product level. For example, split all sales at 10% globally, but set Product A at 20% and Product B at 5%. Available for both WooCommerce and FluentCart products.

📊 GLOBAL & PRODUCT-LEVEL FIXED AMOUNT TRANSFERS

Configure fixed transfer amounts globally or per product. Transfer $5 from every order, or set $10 per unit of Product X and $25 per unit of Product Y. Mix and match with percentage-based splits across your store.

🍒 VARIABLE PRODUCT SUPPORT

Full support for WooCommerce variable products. Set unique transfer values, transfer types, and connected accounts for each product variation, or set them once on the parent product and apply them to every variation.

🚢 SHIPPING FEE TRANSFERS

Transfer a percentage or fixed amount of shipping fees to connected vendor accounts, globally or per product. On WooCommerce, each product’s shipping share is weighted by quantity, so the shares add up to exactly the shipping you collected; on FluentCart, each rule uses the full shipping total, so keep your rules within it.

💸 TAX TRANSFERS

For WooCommerce orders, transfer 100% of each product’s tax to its connected accounts, or a share that matches the product’s transfer. Full control over how tax revenue is distributed.

🎟️ COUPON-ADJUSTED TRANSFERS

Calculate transfers on the discounted line total, so a coupon reduces the vendor’s share instead of the platform absorbing the whole discount.

🧮 SEQUENTIAL GLOBAL SPLITS

For WooCommerce orders, take fixed product-level transfers off first, then apply each global row in turn to the amount left. Off by default.

💳 OPTIONAL STRIPE FEE ALLOCATION

For WooCommerce card payments, optionally deduct the charge’s exact Stripe processing fee proportionally across all connected-account transfer legs. Off by default. While it is on, non-card payments such as iDEAL and SEPA, and any payment whose Stripe fee isn’t recorded yet, stop before any transfer, to be retried or paid by hand.

🗺️ FIELD-VALUE ROUTING

For WooCommerce orders, send a product’s transfer to a different connected account based on what the customer chose in a product or checkout field – for example, their nearest store. Split percentages and amounts never change.

⏳ DELAYED TRANSFERS

Hold WooCommerce vendor transfers until the order is marked Completed – ideal for physical goods, made-to-order products and services. Released transfers are still paid from the original charge, and refunds recorded while a transfer is held are left out of it. With Stripe-fee allocation on, a refund made through Stripe during the hold stops the order’s transfers; pay those vendors by hand.

🧾 RECLAIM REFUND SHORTFALLS

When a refund reversal fails because a vendor’s Stripe balance is too low, Split Pay records the shortfall as outstanding debt and deducts it from that vendor’s future transfers. Balances appear per account, mode and currency on Platform Status, with a one-click write-off.

📃 TRANSFER DASHBOARD & CSV EXPORT

The Transfers tab in your WordPress admin displays a complete history of all split payment transactions across all integrations, with links to each Stripe transfer and charge. Filter by source (WooCommerce / FluentCart), search, and export to CSV for accounting, reporting, or reconciliation.

🕜 BULK EDITOR FOR PRODUCTS

Manage transfer settings for hundreds or thousands of products with a spreadsheet-style bulk editor. Supports both WooCommerce and FluentCart products. Filter by category, product name, SKU, or attributes – then update transfer values and connected accounts in bulk, or append a recipient to many WooCommerce products with a preview of every change.

🏢 VENDOR ONBOARDING ADMIN CONTROLS

Let vendors register through your site’s existing WordPress registration form with a “Register as a Vendor” checkbox, or add them yourself under Users. Vendors connect Stripe from their own dashboard page, with your own title and instructions. Grant additional WordPress roles vendor access, and choose whether vendor accounts are created as Standard or Express Stripe accounts (Accounts v2-only platforms always get the Express Dashboard).

🤖 VENDOR AUTOMATION

Optionally, when a vendor finishes Stripe onboarding, create a WooCommerce product for them at your vendor share and give them a downloadable payment QR code (also available through the [split_pay_vendor_qr] shortcode). Pair it with a Name Your Price plugin to accept any-amount payments. Optionally email vendors when they are paid and customers when their money is sent, and customize the order-received message.

✉️ TRANSFER CONFIRMATION EMAILS & STRIPE METADATA

Send the store administrator a transfer confirmation email after a WooCommerce order’s first successful transfers, detailing every split payment amount, links to transfers in the Stripe Dashboard, and any failures that occurred. Optionally include order details in each transfer’s Stripe metadata for reporting and reconciliation.

🏪 WCFM MARKETPLACE INTEGRATION

Give WCFM vendors a “Connect with Stripe” button in their dashboard, link their products to their connected account automatically at a default vendor share, and take each vendor’s rate from WCFM membership tiers or commission rules. Link a vendor to a Stripe account created outside Split Pay. In Reconcile or Guard mode, Split Pay blocks WCFM’s scheduled and order-status automatic withdrawals so vendors aren’t paid twice (manual withdrawals stay available), and can mark WCFM order lines paid once its transfer succeeds.

🍺 DOKAN SUPPLIER VENDOR TRANSFERS

Pay a second “supplier” vendor on the same sale while Dokan Stripe Express pays the listing vendor – a true three-way split from one payment. Split Pay can reuse vendors’ Dokan Stripe Express connections so they connect once, and gives Dokan vendors a Stripe Payouts page in their dashboard.
