I understand the paying out process. But don't you need to configure a paypal account to use? Where does that happen?
They set this in their Profile settings. When you activate the FoxyCart module, there is a "Payout Email Address" field added there.
andersda:
Also, does not answer the question about alternate payout methods. Here the issue:
I'm using foxycart and stripe to process transactions. Stripe handles the payout using transfer api. This is good, at least in the U.S, because it pays directly to bank accounts and the fees are lower than paypal. However, it does not work internationally.
Im trying to figure out how to support both. I mean, I thought the goal of switching to foxycart was to be able to to support other payment processors in order to support users who couldn't or wouldn't use paypal.
Yes - that is 100% true -
for the money you receive from customers - it's not a 2 way system - in other words, FoxyCart is designed for receiving payments - they have not created a "send money" API for sending money through multiple payment providers.
andersda:
Ideally, the user should be given an option to enter paypal payment address or enter bank info for payment. The the payout script pay accordingly.
Yeah it does not work this way - you will need to build something custom if you want the module to be able to handle multiple payout payment providers.
Let me know if that helps.
