We are developing a b2b website which connect buyers and manufacturers (sellers) of a certain product.
The seller has the ability to list their product on our site and the buyer to search for these products and purchase them.
Each product offering listed on the site is custom manufactured and has an expiry date by which it has to be bought and manufactured. If a buyer does not purchase the product by this date the listing expires.
We plan to allow the seller to collect 0-100% of the product sale price upfront as a booking fee to secure the manufacturing of the product.
We will charge a fee to the seller to list their product on the website.
Hence there are 2 possible financial transactions through the website;
1. the listing fee the seller pays to us
2. the booking fee (if one is set by the seller) the buyer pays to the seller to secure the manufacturing of the product - ideally this would go directly from the buyer to the seller
What payment solution(s) would you suggest for such a service?
