WooCommerce PayPal Adaptive Payments

Description

The PayPal Adaptive Payments addon automatically splits the amount of each order among multiple recipients within WooCommerce, forwarding commissions and fees to different PayPal accounts in the same checkout. Each product receives a configurable destination account, and the plugin orchestrates payment routing via PayPal Adaptive API, eliminating manual transfers to partner sellers, affiliates or service providers involved in the sale.
