A nodal account managed by us, to power your marketplace

All the payments completed via Cashfree payment gateway on your webstore will be available for disbursal via Cashfree's nodal account. These transactions need to be assigned to a vendor's ledger - either manually or via the API. As you add transactions on Shopify, Magento or another platform, these will get assigned to your vendors and payment will be settled automatically.

To split payments you can choose to have a pre-defined percentage for a vendor. It is also possible to specify the vendor commission as a percentage or fixed sum while adding a transaction and assigning it to a vendor.

Refunds can be managed by adjusting the vendor ledger balance. This will ensure the refund amount is adjusted from subsequent vendor settlements.

This process is synchronous i.e. you will receive the transfer status in the same API call. List of settlements can be retrieved here.
