Is a marketplace of Square Online Stores possible? - square-connect

I want to develop a market place store front for farmers, but use Square as my payment gateway. I have achieved this using Stripe, but they do not have the in-person payment option and that is crucial for the business model we want.
I would like to know do you allow application fees that go to the marketplace owner on transactions? If not, how do you propose that a user of the payment gateway that is building a marketplace get paid. I need to pay the vendor AND the marketplace owner. I saw that with OAuth, you can connect to up to 10 merchants from your merchant account. How am I supposed to use this information to get paid?
Can I create a separate fee transaction/transfer on a merchant account that goes into the marketplace account? If so, I would incur the 2.9% +30 cent fee for a small transaction of maybe 40 cents. Is there a way to avoid that?

The Square Connect API does not currently support additional application fees on top of API charges (aka "multi-party payments").
While the API can be integrated into your platform as an e-commerce payment gateway, it is not currently recommended for platforms that require multi-party payments.

Application to send funds/money to Shop vendors, Person like Google Pay, Paytm

We would like to implement a payment solution where end users can send money to other users, merchants (e.g Walmart, shop vendors).
(Payment service to send money to shop vendors (e.g Wallmart), Person, POS)
e.g Nowadays we send money via NFC, by scanning QR Code, etc.
Is there any possibility to implement such solutions?
General Application flow:
Customer registers on the app.
Connect their bank account, add their Debit Card.
Can pay to anyone via NFC, scanning QR code.
I didn't find anything yet but exploring: https://developer.mastercard.com/
Your thoughts?
We found a 3rd party service (Card issuing) Marqeta to solve our problem. Using the API we can do the following:
We can issue cards to Users (Virtual, Tokenized, Physical)
Users can push cards to Google Pay, Apply Pay to use NFC payments.
We can keep track of transactions made by the issued cards.

Transaction fees for Google Play using Stripe Connect as intermediate between users and groceries

I want to allow my users to pay food to my business users using Stripe Connect. I never used Stripe, but by reading the Stripe documentation, this seems feasible and relatively easy to implement.
According to this Google documentation page, the purchase or rental of physical goods via a given app is not subject to their fees.
Does this imply that I will not pay any fee to Google, even if I distribute my app via Google Play?
Given your use case, you should be able to use Stripe instead of Google Play's billing system and not be subject to Google extra fees. That being said, it would depend on how you implement your app. For example, if you were to sell tokens (that were only available in-app) that could be redeemed for food, that would probably still need to use Google's billing system. You should probably write in to Stripe Support (https://support.stripe.com/contact) to talk through what you want and be completely sure.

How to provide authorization for a Laravel App to charge customer from services and products availed (NOT SUBSCRIPTION OR RECURRING)

I just want to ask how to implement this process in my Laravel 7 app.
On a logged user, he will setup his payment method using Paypal account (some redirection to Paypal page)
After success registration/setup of Paypal account, the app can now charge customer with service/products he availed.
This is not a subscription or recurring payments.
I'm reading the Paypal API Docs but I don't know where should I focus since I don't know the real Paypal Terminology for that kind of process.
NOTE: I already implement this kind of process but on Stripe only where the customer setup his Card or Bank Account then the app can charge the customer.
On PayPal this used to be known as "Reference Transactions with Billing Agreements", and in very new integrations it's called Vault (v2 REST API vault, not the old v1 REST Vault which is of no use)
This functionality is only available if PayPal turns in on for your production account, so you need to contact PayPal about it, specifically the business side of PayPal via https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/contact-us (not the MTS technical support, they don't enable new features)
If reference transactions does get enabled and approved for your live/production business account (no guarantee of this), then PayPal will guide you on which specific API to use, which could be the newest v2 Vault or something else.

Automating payments through paypal

I am new to e-commerce development. In my marketplace application, I have three parties involved: Me, customer(end user) and vendor. The customer pays to me for a service to be done by vendor and when the vendor completes the service, I have to transfer the payment to them. So essentially the business logic is:
Customer pays to me through paypal/credit card/apple pay etc.
I ask the vendor to serve the customer.
When customer confirms the service, I pay the vendor's share.
Customer may also ask for a cancellation.
So, I thought to use braintree to collect the payment from customer, but I am not sure how to transfer the vendor's share automatically on a certain day of week? So for example, suppose on every Monday, I want my system to go through the completed services and transfer the vendor's share. Assuming each vendor has got a paypal account, can I do it through paypal? Is there a way to transfer the vendor's share from backend without asking me for the credentials or any conformation?
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can do this programmatically through REST APIs. You can do this by using PayPal's Mass Payment system. It's called Payouts when you are using REST APIs. I'm not sure if there is a Magento extension for it. You do have to be approved for it. Just go to your REST Applications and enable Payouts.
